UT to make at least $4M from Battle at Bristol

[kamoshika]

The University of Tennessee is set to earn no less than $4 million for the Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol.

According to a license and operating agreement obtained by the News Sentinel on Tuesday, the Vols earned a guaranteed payment of $4 million for selling out its allotment of 40,000 tickets for the game against Virginia Tech on Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. If the event is a "grandstand sellout" both teams will earn an additional $300,000.

They really ought to have a race going on at the same time as the game. Talk about epic!

Or at least let people tailgate on the track during the game. They missed so many possibilities.

How much do the VOLS make for a typical home game?

And then a wreck happens and takes out 20 players, season over

Nothing says tailgating like 30 degree banking.
