Nickname for our stadium???

[TENN MAN 13]

How about "the graveyard" since we have dead bodies under our stadium?

I was thinking the same thing or "the boneyard"

I get the whole bit about the horse wreaking havoc on the field, no one wants that. We could always make a track out of sand behind the UT bench for the horse to run down at the start of each game and then the grounds crew could just rake the sand smooth. Too many teams use big animals as part of their tradition and figure out a way to make it happen. (FSU, Oklahoma with their wagon and Texas for example)

agree but considering they wouldnt come off any money for a real coach I dont see how the powers would come off money for a horse track. Maybe there's more to it that we know.

I think it comes down to the old training method trainers use to use when training the horses, it has been called barbaric and cruel which is not a positive thing. There are trainers out today who train these horses in a way that causes the animal no harm.

How bout "Seats 80,000 Comfortably" :good!:

 

[KingNick865]

"The Errector Set"

 

[Thrasher865]

I think "Grandma's House" is appropriate.

Then we could make up a fight song about over the river and through the woods.

I'm pretty comfortable on game day. I think you complainers just need to lose some weight or buy two tickets.

The name of our stadium speaks for itself Neyland Stadium . That is the name we owe our proud tradition to . He built it . He designed it . And you want find to many people when asked about knoxville they think Neyland Stadium.

^ This.

When your name stands on its own, you don't need a nickname.

So we probably ought to give it one....something like: "That big structure across from the Boat House"

 

[GatorBill]

How bout "Seats 80,000 Comfortably" :good!:

I think that one is being used by the u of michigan.

They also have "The OutHouse" reserved, so better not try that one.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Why do our fans feel the need to give a nickname to everything?

 

[beachbums624]

Neyland Stadium . We need no Nickname .

 

[Alto1]

Agreed with all of this! Neyland Stadium is the name and it doesn't need some gimmicky nick name.

Also I LOVE the TN Walking Horse and wish they would make it a permanent pre-game tradition for every home game. The cannon was awesome!

I agree...... Strolling Jim...... Now that's old school.....

BTW when I was young it was often refered to as
THE HILL.
