I suppose, it just seems they are slow rolling any real discussion about LNSI would think it’s probably because this already in the budget to start this year.
Well while I was there, East Stadium Hall was where biology classes were held. And I had seen signs for South Stadium Hall, where biology labs were done. Now I do not know if there were ever dorm rooms in the West portion. And I am sure you are aware that there was no North portion of the stadium until the late 80s or early 90s.
There definitely were no students living within the stadium when I was there. And to be honest? It was creepy enough to take a class in there. I could never envision what it was like when people lived within it.
97,500? Thats my guess. My buddy tells me a touch under 100,000@DeerPark12 hope all is well
Any info on what the new ”capacity” will be? Or how many total seats are being removed? Also, do you know what work will be done in Phases II & III of the renovations? TIA
Heartbreaking. Decibal level will decrease with removal the bleachers for the woke and comfortable attendees.
It's overdue progress towards modernizing Neyland. I understand being an old fart who gets sentimental over major changes. I'm one myself. It brought tears to my eyes when Morrill Hall was demolished 2 years ago ...This sucks that was one of the oldest parts of the stadium. There goes so much history
It’s not just the memories it’s atmosphere and noise. Both those things are going to be ruined for moneyIt's overdue progress towards modernizing Neyland.

... but you can't live in the past. These changes are for the best.
I got a question alum that is none of my damn business but you seem to have a good cents of humor so here goes . You were a student in ‘76 and with the screen name 87&91alum I’m assuming you received your 1st degree in’87 followed by another in ‘91.I was a student in 1976. Took biology in Neyland and yes, there were some dorms in there. Awesome to be able to stop and watch practice while on my way to class. I was also able to watch basketball practice in the old gym just outside the north gate. Never forget walking into class and hearing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s plane crashed the night before. I met them backstage 21 May, 1977 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum. A little trivia.
Wait, Morrill Hall is demolished? Next thing you'll tell me is that Andy Holt is gone too! HAIt's overdue progress towards modernizing Neyland.

Attended for year and a half majoring in girls and party. Went to work in construction for a few years. Hard work. Learned a lot. Started all over in jr college then married then hello UT for second time. Very focused. Engineering degree in two years and then MS IE while working in Tullahoma. Now I do my best to encourage young folks to get an engineering degree. I’m living proof you can do it and the retirement is a blessing I don’t deserve. Actually graduated 84 and 91 but Freak or whoever couldn’t update without starting all over...lol.I got a question alum that is none of my damn business but you seem to have a good cents of humor so here goes .

Were you on the old 9year plan brother ?
Remember my dad told me he roomed under the stadium his freshman year when he was in ROTC...don't know which side.
