While I agree a lot of things will be nicer, I don’t care about all that. Give me the days of a 109k filled Neyland. Pure passion.
Capacity will be around 92,000 after these renovations.
Those days you could only watch 3 or 4 games per year on TV and those were on little 25 inch squares. Tickets were cheap, salaries were practically nothing and people had nothing else to do on a weekend. Obesity was considered a bad thing. Times have changed.
If I'm going to a game. I don't want to be getting cooked, squeezed between thirteen 250 plus pounders on a row so that my seat area is down to 5 inches across, high priced concessions, listening to some rude drunk scream at another rude drunk, no back on my seat, etc. Yeah, I'll stay home, and enjoy most games in comfort.
It will affect the noise and it's a terrible idea to lower the capacity. Neyland has always been one of the biggest, downsizing alone is a cowardly move but going to 92k? That hurts. Another problem is if you make the seats larger and more comfortable, the fans will become lazy and less agitated. We want as many spots jammed in as tight as possible to get the most amount of people as close to the field as possible. The fans will be forced to stand more because of less space and they will yell, cheer and scream. I will be devastated if they lower the capacityIt won't affect the noise and it'll improve the game for the 20% of the stadium that can't see the jumboTron. You don't want to sit at the top of YY10 anyway.
There was a previous plan to do that and replace the seats at field level with a standing area and bar.Really surprised the NCAA or SEC hasn't made them pull the walls back from the corner of the end zones.
It’s a college stadium. I sat in K for most of my life. I could give two ***** about a damn jumbo tron.It won't affect the noise and it'll improve the game for the 20% of the stadium that can't see the jumboTron. You don't want to sit at the top of YY10 anyway.
I think it's an engineering problem on the North end where they can't put it up top.It’s a college stadium. I sat in K for most of my life. I could give two ***** about a damn jumbo tron.
Why the hell you'd reduce capacity by 12000 and not increase the individual seat area is stupid. You are taking away what few chair back seats the stadium Already has.
They have a Jumbotron on the south side that doesn’t affect seating at all.
It's an enclosed double decker bowl stadium. It won't matter. 2 weeks ago against SC was one of the loudest crowds I've ever heard and there were about 85,000 in the stadium.Yeah removing people won’t affect crowd noise at all. Makes sense.
The seat size at Neyland is pretty much a joke for opposing fans. I've been basically everywhere on the road and Neyland is easily the most uncomfortable stadium I've ever been in.Lol, you're right. That's why I rent the seat cushions. It helps with people infringing on your space. Would love to see larger seating
