Happy birthday Neyland Stadium. So many memories by so many people in this place. Many many more to come.

GO VOLS

 

[oldsmokey67]

to me it's simply the best stadium in all of football.pro or college.

I am not disputing the facts, because they are what they are. However, when I was lad back in the '50s listening to the games on the radio, the announcers called it Shields-Watkins Field. Then, we went through a period (after the Gen's death) of Neyland Stadium-Shields-Watkins Field. Finally, Shields and Watkins were consigned to the dust bins of history. Yeah, yeah, I know the dirt is still Shields- Watkins Field. It's name just isn't often called.

80,250 for me.

Reggie and Puki made me a fan for life!

Thanks to the older guys for the memories - the SEC is lacking memory these days. My relatives [all gone now] made the Vandy and UK games really mean something to me.

Of course, Bama is always the biggest - but [like the Majors years - I don't talk about it much these days.

GBO!
