Tennessee did not add any "seats" since last year's 100,000 capacity so seating capacity did not go up to 102,000. It seems that the minute Alabama's actual seating capacity went up to 101,800, UT decided that it would magically decide to include "standing room only" and say "capacity" instead of "seating capacity."

Say whatever you want UT, but Bryant Denny seats the most fans of any in the SEC.

Actually Neyland does. It's simple math really, not that I expect you to know that.

Then explain to me how seating in Neyland increased by 2,000 without adding any seats?

They renovated and added seats...wait, no they didn't.

This really is the dumbest thing. Tennessee fans can't admit that they changed/lied about their seating capacity for the sole purpose of staying ahead of Alabama.

I read an article by this guy last year about how BDS was going to be the biggest and he said the hillbillys would go and nail lawn chairs to the top of neyland before they let that happen and it looks like its basically coming true

It is. I mean the stadium is dog ugly. It's cramped, horrible architecture,ect.. Bryant Denny is better in every possible way. why is this thread still alive? Vol fans wont admit it but be honest, if aliens could pick up a stadium and give it to your team which one would you rather have?

Neyland Remains Largest Stadium
in the SEC and the 3rd largest in the Nation.

This is per Jimmy Hyams of the KNS

With construction being completed, capacity will increase from last year to 102,455 from 100,011.
Gluttons for punishment.

One thing better about Neyland is that all the upperdecks flow together whereas Alabama's are 4 seperate decks. While Bryant Denny looks incredible, it would be even better had the decks transitioned together. Also, I think Neyland will look much better once they finish with the upgrades. Now if Tennessee could only do something about the size of those seats.

BDS
All time record- W 210, L 43, T 3.

...Been sold out every home game since 1988!

Last year capacity 92,138
This year capacity 101,600

We can set a NCAA record for single season attendance if we sell out all games this season!
