when they would take a pic of GRRN & put a pic of the 3rd chair skin flute blower where they were in similar poses I would always throw up in my mouth a little . Even early to the midpoint of bj’s time when I still supported him and thought he was doing a decent job it would always give me the stinging suspicion that he was a total fraud . I could literally envision him looking at old pics of Neyland and then staging a photo of himself in a similar pose to put side by side to make people say “Wow! He even looks like The General “. What an ace .
Those are some decent ideas.Not sure if there is a thread for this but AD Danny White is looking for ideas...
Build the first pedestrian only lounge, shops, etc... bridge as an entrance from South Knoxville to the Stadium. Stretch it to the RiverWalk.it will have views of the river from above the River. Charge rent.
Create more enclosed seating that isn’t a skybox etc.
Create a Uboat biz like Uber and shuttle people via River to Neyland for a cost.
I can’t help but wonder if they could build more sky boxes that have panoramic views on all sides.
Or you can look at as strange Neyland was allowed to built so close to the original engineering building (Estabrook) at that location given Estabrook predated Shields-Watkins field.Those are some decent ideas.
Kind of strange that the new engineering building was allowed be built within just feet of the east skyboxes. That seems like it will creat havoc with access to the stadium and any future improvements to the east concourse.
When Shields Watkins was built there weren’t even bleachers on the east side.Or you can look at as strange Neyland was allowed to built so close to the original engineering building (Estabrook) at that location given Estabrook predated Shields-Watkins field.
Land is scarce for any campus development. Buildings need to go where they fit.
Thank you. Yes I didn’t resize that is what I’m that building is!Those are some decent ideas.

I miss good old fashioned defensive slugfests. But I guess like everything else today it is geared more and more towards thrills and short attention span. By the way, for similar reasons I feel NCAA basketball became much less mentally interesting when they added the shot clock and three point line. A good old fashioned Dean Smith team winning a 48 to 42 point defensive chess match with the losing teams trying desperately to stop the four corners offense as the clock wound down was always art to me.....Notice the severe drop in TV ratings for college games as well. Many items are viewed as possible answers to explain this.......competition from other sources of entertainment, too many games offered, loss of traditional rivals due to scheduling, etc. But one might consider the total slant in rules for offense and against defense as well. Loss of real kickoffs, seemingly arbitrary targeting rulings, among others are given as well. But to me, the attempt to make college (and perhaps pro) games into "video game format" with outlandish scoring encouraged by rule change (or interpretation) has made the game honestly less interesting to me. I openly admit that I'm approaching retirement age and likely don't represent cutting edge thinking, but I wonder if these scoring-fests we now see are somehow unhealthy for the game.
I remember telling my brothers that I wasn't at all sure how I felt about the read-option game taking over college football. And now here we are. What thoughts have you guys?
At least I still have soccerI miss good old fashioned defensive slugfests. But I guess like everything else today it is geared more and more towards thrills and short attention span.
