I live close to the speedway. There has been a lot of discussion about how good or how bad the views are from the different seats in the arena. I was hoping to give you guys a little better perspective of what the views would be like from your individual seats. So, I went over this morning and asked if someone might take me to take a picture of the view from the upper row and the lower row both sideline and end of speedway.

The speedway is already in lock-down, security reasons I guess. But I didn't come away empty handed. Although the gentleman could not give me the pictures, he showed me views of the football field from all of those different angles, both ends and the sidelines. The field was already outlined so I just took them all in as he showed them to me and actually looked at some low row views, mid row views, and nosebleed views. I don't know if it was because Neyland may be higher, but I was surprised.

They've always said there is not a bad seat in the house as far as auto racing is concerned. My comment after viewing to the gentleman was there is really not a bad seat in the house watching a football game and he agreed. It may not be Neyland but it isn't as bad as some say. I think all of you will be pleasantly surprised at your views and that is a good thing. And then there is always the 30' by 60' Colossus suspended directly over the field staring directly at both sidelines and ends of the speedway.

So, welcome to Bristol next week, and if you have time don't miss a visit to the $10 million Birthplace of Country Music Museum that is affilated with the Smithsonian one street over from State Street on the Virginia side of town.

That's good news! I'm in Earnhardt Terrace A and was wondering if would look like GI Joe men playing a football game.

I've never been to Bristol track. Since you live close, what do you recommend as far as parking?

I think there is only one section inside Bristol that is so deep that you wont be able to see. Of course you will need to get past Sarah Palin to find out .....:)

Your efforts are futile. Ive been saying the same thing for 3 weeks but there a some on here that have never been, will never go but think they are the end all be all of seat views at Bristol because of what they see thru a panoramic camera view. I do appreciate the effort and will be there myself regardless. GBO

Seats are one thing. Getting that new grass to get any root depth in 2.5 weeks is impossible. They'll be filling ask over the place.

The people complaining are also the unfortunate saps that don't get to go. Seems to me like they're digging for an excuse and trying to rain on everyone else's parade.

I've been there many times for races. View wise, as in unobstructed, there is not a bad seat, but as far as being able to actually see the players and the plays developing, there is not a good seat. You are simply too far away. Go for the atmosphere but don't expect to watch the game.

Maybe some older folks that cant see at all are the ones complaining. JK the screen looks big enough to be able to follow the plays

Roost3r we just got to accept the fact that people who have never been to a Bristol race and ain't going to the game know more than us. I surrender!!! On another note I hope a lot of you get up here for the festivities Thurs and Fri. I was told there changing the bulbs in the sign to orange and whatever the hoakie color is. Will be awesome to see at night. :unsure:

4 screens 30x63 with a scrolling monitor below the screens that is almost 6 feet center hung in the stadium. By comparison Neylands video board is 37x124' standing on one end of the stadium. Its been a while since Ive had to convert math but I believe the view will be the same if not better for everyone at Bristol like it is for those sitting in section YY at Neyand.

You know Im going! Im excited and cant wait to get there and see what all has been done since we left the race. I do have one burning question... Id like to attend gameday but if they are inside the perimeter fencing you cant leave once in. I know they said there would be a lot to do but you figure in by 730/800 to see gameday and then stuck inside the fence all day waiting on the game...
