Spring Game

[bubbavol]

Does anyone know what the date is for the Orange and White game this year?

 

[volnSC]

Don't think the date or venue have been set yet.

 

[jhen713]

Are they planning on having a concert the night before like they did last year?

 

[RCKYT0P]

It is usually mid to late April

I don't think anyone knows for sure considering they don't even have a place picked out to play the game at last I heard.

You mean it won't be at Neyland Stadium?

 

[volnSC]

There was talk that it would be moved due to construction but I'm not 100% sure. Some have said it will be at LP Field. It could be at Neyland if they sit everyone on the east side. I think all the upgrades are being done on the west side.

 

[Midfielder10]

Nashville and Chattanooga have been rumored. I think they get it worked out for neyland somehow.

 

[volnSC]

Thats what I am hoping for also. This could be the biggest O&W game in history.

 

[VolinConcord]

I really hope the game is in neyland. Looking forward to the game.

Last year I went to my first one to witness the horrific Clawfense, this year, I will be attending to see the kickoff to the Lane Kiffin era.

If only the Clawfense lived up to the hype that was built up during that OW game.

I was excited leaving Neyland last spring and it all ended in disappointment.

 

[clevelandvolfan]

I've never been to one of the O&W games,where does a guy get tickets for it and how much?

 

[Midfielder10]

they are free

 

[pantone151]

they've had the orange and white game at neyland while they were doing construction before, i don't see why this time would be any different... they just don't let anyone on whichever side they're working on.

Are they planning on having a concert the night before like they did last year?

i thought they had to cancel that because the NCAA said it violated some sort of rules?

 

[bubbavol]

Update: per the atheltic department the game will be in Neyland and the tentative date is April 18

really? what rule?

 

[VolsFanRJ]

I will be there. I can't wait. I am interested in seeing how many show. I don't think we will be like Bama an bring in 92,000 but it might be a record setting day in. Anyone know what the record attendance is at Neyland for an O&W game?

 

[vollygirl]

If they were to promote it enough across the state of Tennessee, they wouldn't have any trouble setting the UT record for attendance at the Orange and White game this year.

According to this page, biggest turnout was 73,801 in 1986. (Found this after I wrote that first sentence, lol).
