Any idea on O&W game date?

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I expect a huge crowd and very fun weekend on the Hill this year for the spring game.

I'm thinking it could be the 23rd of April

That's very possible hopefully 70,000 or more show up this year.

I got an e-mail saying that it is going to be on Saturday April 16th. I have a meeting at UT the day before. Hope this helps everyone in planning.

Really? Kind of surprised they'd schedule it the same day as the Air Show.

I hope that is the date. I happen to have an open weekend then and would love to finally get to go.

We have meetings all day Friday 4/15, and Saturday we welcome/tour Alumni and fans on campus. I got an e-mail back in November saying that it will be on 4/16. Barring any unforeseeable circumstances, it will be that day. I don't know the status or plan for the field. Last year, fans had a chance to get autographs on the field before the game, but in years prior, it was over at the practice facility. This will probably be affected as well. Stay tuned. I already took off from work to make sure I give My All so Y'all have a great experience.

Thanks for the info!:thumbsup:

The game used to be the same weekend the BaseVols played at home, that would be 4/23 as the only home series in April.

Maybe not anymore though.

The football program has not set its spring practice schedule yet and has not informed anyone on campus of the date of the spring game at this time.

April 16 and April 23 are the two possible dates, but no decision has been made.

I'm thinking it will be full capacity for the OW game

I would prefer the 23rd,i would have a better chance of being able to go then.

If I had to guess, I would say whatever department he is involved with set their date without being sure. I hope for their sake that it works out.

DP any chance that they make the spring game a night kick? Always wondered why no one did that, would be an awesome crowd drawer.

 

[Coug]

Whichever Saturday it winds up being I hope it's an evening game. The later in the day they schedule it the more people will show up.

I don't see that happening. All of Tennessee's research shows the vast majority of fans prefer mid-afternoon kickoffs, which is why it's typically at 2 pm.

Midafternoon is a big plus for those of us who have to drive back to the vicinity of Mordor down here in Central Alabama.

I hear ya on the drive back down to bammer. But a night kick gives the excuse to stay up in the beautiful smokey mountains for a little extra time
