Any specifics on how Bristol will transform the facility to suit a football game? Seems like they will need to bring in portable seating closer to the infield.

It is going to be interesting, that's for sure.
as steep as the banking is, building temporary seating on the track area may be really hard.
Also, isn't the media center at one end of the infield and another building at the other? They are going to have to fit the football field in between them.
I also assume they will have to take down the catch fence, or else anyone with seats lower down will be looking through it.

I just realized that Bristol is half in Tennessee and half in Virginia... And this game is between teams from Tennessee and Virginia... Woah!

One of the cool things they're doing is suspending a MASSIVE 4 sided jumbotron from the top of the stadium in the center of the field.
The Jumbo Megatron is named "Colossus".
Each side is 30 feet tall by 63 feet wide. In total, the system hosts nearly 54 million LEDs and 18 million pixels. At 6mm pitch, the pixels are grouped tighter than the large-scale outdoor displays in Times Square. The result: a glimmering visual experience capable of offering 281 trillion different color combinations, and one that’s 23 times brighter and 25 percent sharper than the typical home HD TV.

It's going to be a complete boondoggle and nobody there is going to be able to see the game. /thread

If 160,000 people attend the game, the University of Michigan will automatically expand their stadium to 161,000 to keep the attendance record.

They'll likely put a grass surface of some sort so the teams will play. Also, there will lots of seats for people to watch the game.

This game is more about the experience and spectacle rather than good seats. Yeah I mean the seats aren't gonna be great no matter where you are. But it's going to be the biggest football game ever, it's going to be on a long weekend with racetrack tailgating all day. I, for one, cannot wait.

Battle of the two biggest white trash fan bases from each conference. I'd go.

Vols will polly kill vt. You may have a crappy view in the stadium but it will be a sight to see. I've been to a few races bristol is a fun place if they can get the type of setup for the race were they make a weekend out of it campsites and tailgating should be a epic weekend with a OK game
