How many people does it hold and what will be the % of blue to orange in the arena? I have never been to a game there, but my guess is about 70% to 30% blue. Is this anywhere close?

 

[Griffmann]

Won't be over 10%

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I can't imagine that more than 10-15% will be there

18000 i believe.

 

[volfan55]

It will be at most 85-15, but thats pushin it. I would say around 92-8 blue. I mean, we're not talking about the Liberty Bowl here.

 

[IPorange]

Got to be 80 to 90+ % Blue. I don't think it is realistic to think otherwise.

 

[Reegan]

80-20

I think more of us will come out in support

I would expect, given the size of the schools & resulting volume of alumni, as well as the fact Tennessee is generally a more prominent institution, that the Vol fan base could snatch up more of these high dollar tickets than the tiggers. That being said, this is probably still a bigger game for Memphis than the Vols... I don't expect Tennessee to have more than 20% tops.

 

[Mullet]

20% would be a LOT. That would mean almost 4000 Vol fans. My guess is more like 10% at the most.

 

[Steve Hamer]

1000-2000 UT fans would be a good showing

Are you really Steve Hamer or is that question too obvious?

Love having you on "the Locker Room". I know the whole Lexus thing can be very lucrative, but you are MEANT to have a head set on as articulate as you are :rock:

Tell him Steve is hanging out here in the Volnation. :unsure:

 

[jcolli30]

I'd say anywhere from 7%-10%, nothing above that though.

Was this a typo, or a reference to our excellent off-field football behavior as of late? You know, as in "probation".

Steve Hamer rules.

I'm just a Vol homer

 

[hatvol96]

Steve Hamer is one of the best human beings on the face of the planet. A fabulous representative of the University of Tennessee.

 

[TennesseeT]

I'd say maybe 10% - 15% but it will probably be hard to tell because you can't even see the people setting in the Terrace Levels of the Forum. Man I hate those seats!

I got to sit next to him at a football game in college and he was a good guy (but made me feel so short). Funny thing was the girl he was with was maybe 5' tall. It made for an interesting picture but they were very good sports.
