The Official #1 Tennessee vs Tennessee Tech Tuesday Game Thread (6:30PM EST) (SEC NETWORK +)

(1) WBB coverage is political correctness
(2) Spring football is about viewership to help pay for (1)

I don't hold a grudge, or we'll sound like women's basketball fans.

as a women’s baseketball fan. I digress though. That’s a topic for another forum.

Tonight’s announcers are Mark Packer and Andy Brock

They both hate us. Ugh.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

And the Braves are on at 7 on??

7:20 pm ET. Bally Sports South East.

Good news is that the skies have finally cleared here. The rain has blown through. Hopefully it can get a bit drier before first pitch.

 

[DazzleVol]

Who is the home team? I'm guessing UT but wasn't sure

No need to digress. I remember when Women’s basketball wasn’t televised. I also remember a time at UT when women’s basketball was the most successful program on campus.

GBO!!!

I know that but if it's about the almighty dollar they're only losing revenue by doing it.

We are.

A little wind would help. I’m assuming they have a standard dirt field.

For sure!

I’m assuming they can use any design? Not checking for corking? That seems very strange. Need to get @GUNTERSVOL on that…

 

[TN_gal]

Pinstripes tonight!

 

[TN_gal]

Belmont @ Bama underway. No score Top of 3rd, but Belmont has one hit.

This stadium would sure look nice sitting on UT's main campus! (Except add some outfield bleachers or slopes/sitting areas over the right and left field walls)

It does look nice, wonder why the Smokies want to move back to Knoxville?

The capacity here is only 6,400. Perhaps they think they can draw larger crowds in downtown Knoxville?

 

[volz2wallz]

Mark packer providing production and broadcasting idk why wvlt or myvlt2 didnt provide it on there stations like he does for Thursday night football games...guess the mothership wouldnt allow it ..

 

[Jax_Vol]

Kodiak is a wonderful setting with a great park.

However, that is too remote for an AA team. Not enough population in the surrounding area to really support any level of professional team. At best, rookie ball which I'm not even sure they have in the south?

larger crowds, more to do near old city plus what they plan to build around it

its nice but i like the steep stadium we have, makes it feel to the opposing team as if fans are right there on top of them, seems more hostile to me

Wow, you could score from 1st on a WP/PB.

I remember old Bill Meyers Stadium. I went to every home game one summer when Carlos Delgado was a catcher. I also saw the Michael Jordan game.

Back then, downtown Knoxville was dead and the Old City was in someone’s imagination. I suspect Randy Boyd sees the influx of downtown residents as a huge plus. I hate it for the people up there, but I’ll be glad it’s back. I wonder how it will fare after the new-ness wears off, but it is what it is.

i saw Carlos play alot as well, and yes there was nothing anywhere near that place.
