Nice. Question:

Are those white boxes existing buildings or future buildings?

And it'll still look like a sanitation workers convention.

Existing.

One is a parking garage, but not sure why the rest were changed to white boxes.

Cool. I can't make it to Neyland this year so maybe when we play again in 2037 or something I'll get to see it.

Don't even care. I'm not a fan of the Kroger naming either.

You guys gonna expand seating capacity by making the seats smaller again while you're at it?





All kidding aside, that renovation looks nice.

Looks well done. New looking but open and classic. Love all the brick.

I can't believe there are still concourses in that stadium that look like those current pictures.
