Why hasn't Neyland Stadium been named The VOLCANOE?

I like the sentiment, but when you combine words like that, it’s called a “portmanteau.”

To be clear…
Vol + canoe = Volcanoe
Volcano + canoe = Volcanoe

The first one is a compound word. The second one is a portmanteau.

This has been High School English with The Sheik

Does this mean no more fight song after we score?

Yes.
But think of the light show they could design with purpose. Have a light show with a Volcanoe erupting on third down. Get aerial footage to show recruits. And yes, Checker Neyland.

Just kidding about Rocky Top. For those that don’t “woo”, they can “canoe”. Both work.

Jump Higher Vols!

As each member of The mighty Vol Nation enters the VOLCANOE in anticipation of a top 20 showdown with one their rivals, white hot rage simmers. As The Pride of Southland band forms the T, The VOLCANOE erupts, decibel levels reach 120+ and this place is a nightmare for teams who dare to step foot into this venue. Stuff your ears with earplugs and scream!!! After every score the VOLCANOE will shoot cannons. And late in the fourth quarter lava(big orange nation) will set the stage for a massive eruption.

Just a thought. GM volnation.

Glad everyone had a laugh at my expense. I also see some didn't read the post at all. Anybody in their right mind should know you don't name a stadium "canoe". I was trying to illustrate the similarities of a volcano and Neyland stadium. In no way was I suggesting we change the name, but I just wondered if decades and decades ago if it crossed anybody's mind. Corny, goofy, yea maybe. But we do shoot fireworks after scores and the inside of the stadium is orange.
Eff it. I should of just asked what if Neyland was nicknamed the volcano in 1950 something.

Sorry, but I already trademarked that name. How I get to and fro the games.

Of course, for the right amount of money I might be willing to sell the trademark.

Lets end the goofy stuff. Start with removing the ever so redneck and pointless “woo” during Rocky Top then work out way down the list.
