Do you think they add bleachers where the track is or leave the track showing?

Will you even be able to see what is going on during the game? I feel like everyone will be so far away from the field

It should be fine from the front and back stretch. they said their would be infield level seating so they may not seat people all the way into the turns. That is where the biggest distance issues would be.

 

[volfanbill]

so the field is going to be roughly 275 yards long from end zone to end zone? Awesome.

Most all fans will be incredibly far from the field. Think Michigan stadium or the Rose Bowl. TV may be the best route for those interested in the game itself.

"Well, Verne, Tennessee's drive was 54 plays, with 23 minutes in time of possession".

Hopefully Verne and Gary are gone by 2016! :dance2:

This spectacle needs to be a primetime night game IMHO.

I'm not sure how the views will be from the stands, but the tailgating should be incredible.

as long as the drive results in a TD, I'm game for that kind of drive.

NO WAY CBS gets this game it has ESPN Written all over it.

Sorry link didn't work

It should be a great atmosphere for a record-breaking event, but people who have seats near field level at Neyland can attest to the depth perception problems associated with that vantage point. In this situation, seeing what occurs on the opposite sideline will be much, much more difficult.

One for the record books... Palardy kicks game winning 125 yard field goal as time expires.

Even better! so now that Palardy has gotten good, we're giving him 3 more years of eligibility. Sweet!

C'mon Bill... who wouldn't want to come back for that game! CP might just have a 275 yard punt return!
