Their fans seem ready to jump in the Tennessee River. Could we get a solid 35k+ in Neyland like we did with Notre Dame?

35k UGA fans live in Knoxville alone. IM CERTAIN it'll be a red out.

Just hope that shitty field doesn't injure anyone.

Top-ten matchup in Knoxville? They love their football and will almost certainly turnout.

South Bend is a cool/unusual destination, though. Knoxville isn't.

Knoxville is pretty cool but, that stadium sucks really bad. Capacity crowd should probably be 3-5k lower because the seats are measured for 9 year olds asses.

Fans are hit and miss...like most fan bases, I suppose. They just struck me the wrong way in general.

Idk man, I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase in the open revolt that UTk fans are in right now. The hatred for Butch is very real in Knoxville.

Even standing, there isn't enough room for adults to be packed in there @108k or whatever they claim their capacity is. But that's not the only reason I think that stadium sucks.

There is no way in hell we will have anywhere close to 30k in neyland. Chicago/Notre Dame was literally a once in a lifetime experience. Knoxville Tennessee is not.

It's also not nearly as far, not nearly as expensive and we have a lot more reason to be excited about our team.

Not saying it will happen, but the perfect storm is there.

It's absolutley not going to happen. We have decades worth of reference of playing in Knoxville to go on and weve never come anywhere close to that.
