Neyland is old, so most seats and concourses are cramped.


Believe me, we visiting fans all get the fact that's it's old. What we don't get is why UT insists on cramming as many people into Neyland as they do.

It's not just how narrow the visiting seats are, it's how narrow the aisles are. Neyland Stadium's visiting seats need to be at least four inches wider in all directions.

My estimate is by doing that Neyland would drop capacity by about 10,000 seats.

While I've gone on record earlier in this thread that the bum deal and the not so pretty campus (aside from the riverside setting, which is great) are facts, I think that the "narrow seats" meme is overblown.

Just how fricking fat are the people who complain about this? I sat in cheap nosebleeds there and thought it was fine. Start jogging or something.
