Lol.. when I read it I was like ‘couple arguing’…yep, when you have been married for a long time that tends to happen.., a fight meh, cussing meh.,, but puking ummm no 😂 gross… when you have that many people in one place there are going to be some weirdos who don’t know how to act… the vast majority of our fans don’t behave like that, though

I agree and I hate that OP had a terrible time so I was only trying to bring a little humor into the situation.
I’m going on 27 years and I can honestly say that I never get on my wife’s nerves, even though she gets on mine...



If she ever finds my Volnation log in info, I’m in big trouble!!

people must not get out much. I get that this experience was EXTREMELY unlucky and I'm sympathetic towards that. but I grew up around Cleveland Browns games when they famously stopped selling alcohol after the 3rd quarter due to the levels of drunken unruliness.

it's not just the NFL it's even worse in college. I've seen people have piss thrown on them in Gainesville. I've been to UT games where I've had full cups of Jack and Coke spilled all over me after Tennessee scores a touchdown and the drunk next to me throws his hands up forgetting he has a drink in his hand.

I've had glass airline bottles hit me in the head and one time a girl rubbed her tits in my face for good luck because I told her I had a lucky face.

absolutely none of this is new and my experience goes back to the late 80s.

football draws a different class of person.

if you want a stress free experience I would try MLB games or buy tickets higher up in the stadium.

Hell yeah! I want to go to a game with you!

I made this account to partly share my frustrations. I’ve been a huge vol fan my whole life. I grew up going to the games. I graduated from there. I finally got the opportunity to take my wife to a game in Neyland this last Saturday and I was so excited for her to experience it for the first time.

Leading up to the game everything was fairly normal until we actually got in the stadium. We had pretty decent seats in the lower bowl behind the Tennessee bench (but not the premiums). We had an older couple behind us (likely mid 60’s) arguing the whole game and cussing at each other. Fairly annoying but we ignored it. Big game.. Night game.. people drink.. whatever.

Before halftime we both felt this rush of fluid on our back. We turn around and the older woman is throwing up all over us and into a bag. It gets all on our jackets and clothes. all on our seats. Instead of the “wtf” we try to be nice. It happens, we go to the bathrooms and clean off best we can. We tell the stadium personnel that throw up is all on our seats we need it cleaned or can we find another seat. They essentially laughed at us. Said good luck finding another seat here (because it’s sold out)

We were without a seat the whole second half. Had to find a concourse area to stand and watch the whole rest of the game with throw up on us after paying $900 for seats. While standing in the concourse a younger woman rushes out throwing up and hitting our shoes. So that’s the Neyland experience these days? Pay $900 for two tickets to take your wife for the first time. Get thrown up on twice by unruly fans who can’t handle their alcohol. Lose your seats halfway through the game because vomit is all over them, and the stadium personnel can’t help you they just laugh.

My wife never wants to come back. And frankly I don’t either.. almost $1,000 for that. And to lose. Come on…

UT ticket office has reached out to me but I doubt they reimburse or do anything about it.

Just venting… I know it could be worse but I really was hoping for a great experience for her and some of our fans ruined it. Neyland is a place where I eventually wanted to get season tickets, bring our future kids too, etc. and Saturday wasn’t the best first impression on my wife.

Man brother I’m sorry about that and I don’t blame you for not ever wanting to come back!! My wife and I love music concerts and have attended numerous venues In Atlanta where we currently reside! Well last sunmmer we decided to go to one of our favorite artists concert Kenny Chesney the concert was at the new Mercedes Benz stadium in downtown Atlanta! We had seats in the upper 300 section! Well about in the middle of Cheneys opening A older woman early 60s falls onto me a barely missed my wife and busts her head wide open blood is everywhere!! You guessed it she and her girlfriend who was also in her 60s were drunk and could barely stand up! We missed a large part of the concert because we had to move in order to give the emergency medical staff room to work! All this because some inconsiderate 60 something woman couldn’t hold her liquor and made a damn fool of herself! Now I feel just like you do brother I never ever want to go to another public event where they serve alcohol! People are just too damn rude and obnoxious when they drink and they ruin things for those of us that don’t want to see drunk fools falling and or throwing up! Thankfully I didn’t pay as much as you did about 200 bucks for both tickets but the experience makes me hate the idea of ever going to another public event! I have become rather misanthropic to say the least!!!

we went in 2017 or 18, was absolutely terrible. vomiting, cursing, fighting, people getting arrested, adults pissing in public, women falling down stairs, barely able to sit with out falling over.

ive been back to a game in club seats. id never go again unless it was club seats. the other experience is a joke.

Send this pic to the UT tix office and tell them that no seats available after yours were ruined by some idiots was BS! I took this pic thinking UT is all about the money having this extremely high priced premium seats and yet look at how many aren’t even filled with “real” dedicated fans that want to see the game live. They should have offered one if these empty seats to you all. Write Danny White a letter too if you have a moment. Hope u do make it back in the future!

I’m not sure “women rubbing their tits in your face” is a negative here, or anywhere really. That would actually make the exorbitant prices more understandable.

Unfortunately the allure of being there is being replaced by drunk fans and a costly unbearable experience.

We met our family from Ohio in Lexington and took all our grandkid(teens) to the Kentucky game. Sat in expensive lower seats. Surrounded by drunken people with blasting hip hop music made it a horrible experience. We left at halftime.

We were in lower bowl. Cheap seats if you compare to cost of similar at Neyland. Fans around us were cool. Mostly VOLS fans but some KY mixed in.

The music was absolutely horrendous. Gave me a massive headache. So loud we could not even hear the announcers. Absolutely obnoxious too that they played it over the POTSB even when game was over and they played the TN Waltz.

This will sound harsh but if you're that fragile then traveling to a big time college football game is probably not the best thing for you. Stay on the couch and watch form the comfort of your house.

Easily said by the guy that didn't have someone's puke running down the crack of their ass because an inconsiderate moron can't hold their liquor.
