Neyland remodel

Anybody know a start date? Plus, I’m trying to to start a new conversation about a new topic.

Theyll need to put sponsor coverings on the entire upper deck soon! Say hello to 45k fans max.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon, if at all. That’s just my feeling, no inside info.

Need to change the title to “Neyland reduction”. Vandy’s stadium is about right for the direction this program is headed.

 

[volnthesip]

Is it correct we are downsizing?

 

[Border Vol]

The total capacity in Neyland Stadium should be reduced to 92,000.

I think that’s always been the plan.

 

[GAVol]

The total capacity in Neyland Stadium should be reduced to 92,000.

Probably could even take it down into the 80s and alleviate a lot of problems.

I’m kinda torn on downsizing. We’ve got 100k+ why downsize now? Then again, I do understand the reasoning. Only thing I want to see done is a revamp of our PA system- that thing is awful.

best home field advantage in the SEC resides in Knoxville.

the NOISE generated reverberates in the lower bowl and is literally deafening when the fan base is turned on.

upper deck and corridors are in need of big overhaul..

The product on the field needs an overhaul. Until that gets fixed, they shouldn't put a dime into the stadium.

Nope.

 

[GAVol]

Nope.

I agree. When it’s good, it’s as good as anywhere, but Florida, Bama, LSU and TAM are all tough. I think Florida might actually be the worst if you have to go play them early.

Bless your heart.

Even with that, some no-climb mesh at the top would be advisable to discourage jumpers.

If TN keeps Pruitt, or fires him but hires some retread coach with mediocre resume, then TN isn't committed to winning in football. If that is the case, then just tear it down.

Auburn is also surprisingly loud. For a big game when they're doing well, that place is intense.

Some of y’all need a lesson on how to stay on topic.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

They better worry about winning ball games in Neyland Stadium first before they start remodeling it.

I am staying on topic, just not the thread topic.... JK....

Haven't seen anything lately but most of the renovations were supposed to be done by 2023.

Fulmer Updates Plans for Neyland Stadium Renovations | RTI

Given Covid I would think those dates would be adjusted.

Factoring in that engineers, architects, state bureaucracy, and university bureaucracy is involved in all of this, I wouldnt expect work to be done until 2078 lol.

 

[lukeneyland]

Why do y’all want seats taken out. Neyland is a real advantage when it’s loud. Y’all are going to kill that

They have to build more luxury boxes for the corporate crowd. It's pretty obvious the administration couldn't care less about the average fan.

They need to scratch those Neyland stadium upgrades until they finally shell out the right kind of money, to bring in the upper-tier HC that we need.

We've blown so much money on that kind of stuff and buyouts, while still not willing to pay for a good HC to come in???

Get the football team rolling (for real), then the fans will return to Neyland $$$
