Honestly the Tennessee vs Virginia Tech game at Bristol a few years ago is the reason why I quit going to Sporting events.

I’m not gonna lie
This years ut chatt game at noon when it was 1000 degrees out and tickets costing 200 each plus a fortune to park and they ran out of water is one of the reasons I might stay home and also not buy season tix again

Too damn expensive

It was a terrible day, although Tennessee did win the game. The traffic in and out individuals wouldn't sit down and quit screaming in my ears. I rather sit at home and enjoy on Television. Don't even get me started about the restrooms. I was miserable the whole game. Some people like that stuff, I despise large crowds anymore....

I went to that as well but I understand your point. Honestly, I guess the novelty of the speedway hosting a mlb game plus the fact that the track is walking distance from my mil's house is the only reason we are going. Plus it gives my wife a chance to visit her mom for a few days.

You are speaking to the reverend in Church of antisocial.

TN vs Florida, 2019. Hot. Adults, drunk. Micturating in bushes in front of kids. Fighting. Walking around staggered drunk. Throwing up outside stadium. Unable to sit in a chair, passing out during the game. Getting arrested, resisting arrest. And getting cuffed and stuffed. Dropping Fbombs loudly. Drinking whiskey openly.

I will never ever take my children to a TN football game, ever. Not ever. Unless my friend can get the cat bird tix. Away from the General tick holders.

The last game I attended was versus the Cocks, and I sat behind the Summers Taylor folks. If you know of them, you know where those seats are.

Those tix were a gift from a close friend.

Clean bathrooms, imported beer. Cheeseburgers that didnt taste like ass. Room to move. Coin.

I love going to Neyland but the cost and the cramped conditions are getting to where it’s not worth it.

I was on the TN Terrace once. That I could get used to.

Just saw a Nissan Armada commercial, where a family of four follows a Grizzly Bear to its fishing hole. Then all four proceed to fly fish upstream from said Grizz, within eyesight.

I would not recommend this, to anyone.

I saw one where they were following what appeared to be Big Foot, hoping to catch camera footage of it. Finally they got into camera view of it. They have now filed a lawsuit against Nissan to pay for their therapy, likely needed for the remainer of their lives, after @Weezer exposed himself to their naive eyes.

Happy Choose Day - sorry I am late

April 1, 2025: Reach for the Lord, especially when you feel discombobulated. Quiet your soul so that you can evaluate what it is that is keeping you from inner peace. You may not be able to do anything to allay your discontent outwardly, but you have all power and authority over your thoughts and emotions. Find that place of stillness in yourself. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Live games you attend to be in the crowd atmosphere...if you don't enjoy crowds kinda a terrible experience.

I prefer attending basketball games, being indoors is a big reason and the overall crowd despite being huge seems to flow in/out easier and even without passes you can find parking options.

Haven't been to a basketball game at UT in a few years but it is easier getting in and out. I used to attend 3-5 home football games/year but age and a hip replacement has dramatically cut into that. After attending a home game now it tends to take me days for my body to recover just from the walking and climbing steps etc.

ETSU basketball.

Doughboys baseball.

Best regional sports around.

Any travel ball, hell even Maryville Scots games beat gameday experience for the average fan, at Neyland. Who has coin for field level?
