In Nick Saban's first spring game at Alabama they had a sellout...

What can we do to make this happen at Neyland Stadium this spring? Or is it even a possibility?

I know that I was overwhelmed at the Vol Walk at the home opener this year, do we see that same attendance this year??

There will never be a sellout for the O & W game. Last year with all the hype about X, we didnt even fill half but still about 35-40000 people. Not a bad turn out for a scimage game. I expect about the same this spring.

25 to 30 thousand at the most.

Why can't it ever be a sellout? They shouldn't broadcast it on TV, maybe a week later or something. Imagine recruits response to 100,000 fans for a spring game!

I know a lot of people were scared away from the O&W game last year due to the construction rumors and the rumors of the fire marshal limiting the number of fans allowed in.

I think we could get close to 40K with good weather but 25-35 seems realistic.

GO VOLS!!!!

It was over 50,000, and it was a sellout. They refused to allow people in half the stadium due to construction. Thousands were turned away.

If the douche couldn't do it I don't see Dooley doing it. No disrespect to Dooley but it seemed like the douche had EVERYONE on the Lane Train. Dooley will earn his appreciation through hard work like he has the last 3 weeks rather than through a microphone like the douche.

They never have allowed the whole stadium to be open for the OW game. For aslong as i have been going anyway... maybe if they'll open it up then we could get 60 or 70 thousand.. charging for the game doesn't help either.

Never happen. What's the record? Like 71,000 or 76,000 several years back?

They do normally televise it on SS.

last season was about as hyped the fanbase had been in awhile and it was still nowhere near selling out. if it didn't happen last year, it won't this spring either

As previously stated, it did sell out last year. The capacity was just cut in half due to construction. I had numerous friends that tried to go and were turned away at the gate because it was sold out.

I'll admit it. I was really impressed when Bama filled up their stadium for a spring game. I'd love for us to be able to do the same
