wow, seeing Neyland Stadium fit inside bristol like that is amazing.

I am still deciding whether to go to this game or not. I am an usher at UT and I can work the bristol game and they will bus us up there and back from Knoxville. I can't decide if I want to just watch it at home and enjoy it or go to the game and risk not being able to see it very good. I don't know what area I would be working in, I could have a great view or not.

I finally splurged for tickets. Paid way too much - but this is the event of the century! :) Even if for some reason this works out well enough for there to be future big games there - this will always be the first of it's kind.

Go enjoy!

I just do not see how anyone can see anything if seated on the same side that camera is on, even if on first few rows other than watching on jumbotron. It would be cool just to be there though, so I guess if have to watch on jumbroton it would be worth it.

The camera is clearly mounted over the top of something. Neyland looks similar from the top of the video board, but no one has that view on game day.

I noticed it was probably mounted on last row, but still. Look at how far even the front row seats are from the field on that part of the track!!!!!!!!!!

Plus there is a building on that part of the field in line of view, so I do not know how you could see over it.

You can easily see it over. Its a camera view. Everything looks further away. The camera is mounted on top of the box suites you see here.

I thought for half time entertainment they could have had a 50 lapper allstar type race! :rock:Because nascar will never see this size crowd again!

Hmm, I disagree. The popularity is just as big as it has been if not more. As a season ticket holder to Daytona, Bristol, Talladega and frequent other tracks its coming back. The race at Bristol a couple of weeks ago was one of the best in years due to SMI's work on the lower groove of the track. The "bump and run" reappeared and the comments from everyone in attendance was really positive. Other than the rain I enjoyed it as one of the best Ive been to there in a long time.

I agree. That first 40 or so laps Saturday night before the rain was the best I've seen in a while!!

what is going to happen to the turf after the battle at bristol and the game the following week?
It seems like it would be a shame just to trash it, and i don't know that all of the tractor trailers can be driving on it for the races (perhaps they can I don't know).
Can it be donated to a local high school or similar?
seems a waste just for two games...even if it will be epic

This might have been answered already, but I was told this morning that they were going to donate it to ETSU and it was going on their field. I have no official link to confirm, so take it fwiw.

Does anyone know where the POTSB will be sitting?

Also, have they removed the gate in turn 3? Will that be the only 'large' opening to get inside the track?

:rock:
GBO!!!

I didnt say Bristol but believe I already explained this to you in the other post. Bristol is coming back. SMI ruined the track several years ago. They appear to have corrected those issues based on what we saw this last race. If it doesnt happen props to you. Now back to football.

Mostly due to the rain. Most out of towners don't make plans for staying an extra day. I know a bunch of locals who didn't go Sunday cause it was pouring down at the beginning. Then it cleared up.

Your right. All the price gouging going on for the races at the local hotels is ridiculous. 350 a night at Red Roof. I really need to just start camping!

$600 for a camping spot is what I have heard.
