re: Neyland Stadium Entertainment District

Your stadium is named after a grocery store. El oh el

I can see the convenience of this. The butt chuggers can line up outside the stadium to receive their alcoholic medication in a seamless fashion.

Neyland Stadium Entertainment District

Golf Ball driving range?
Condiment / Souvenir sales kiosks
Krispy Kreme vendors
Illegal fireworks sales
Life Champion photo booths

I can see this working in Knoxville

Soooooooo here’s the start to which schools can build the biggest shopping malls, bars, movie theaters and nightclubs around their stadium to lure in recruits

I mean for Christ sake, they already have stupid waterfalls and shite in their locker rooms.

It’s just getting stupid

We go to 10 or so Braves games a year and the atmosphere at the Battery is fantastic on game day or not. It is a little generic in a shopping mall sort of way but that's not necessarily a bad thing...what it lacks in color and characters it makes up for in safety etc. and is perfectly suited for families and couples who are out for a few hours and not interested in getting whip roaring drunk or dining in a 3 star restaurant. The crowd inside the stadium though is HORRIBLE since the Braves moved to Smyrna. The move has enabled locals to attend games other than those on weekends and the local area is home to one of the largest concentrations of Karens and Darens in the free world...and they are present in huge numbers and practicing their art at a high level. The numbers of these people at braves games increased when the Braves moved out of Fulton County Stadium but they flat our dominate the crowd at Truist. The stadium is a VAST improvement over Turned Field and the Battery is really fun for what it is meant to be...but Braves crowds have become nearly intolerable since the team moved to their backyard...Imagine 25,000 or so Marjorie Taylor Greens vying for position as the most annoying person in a space and you will get an idea of what a typical Braves crowd is like today. MTG by herself is entertaining.....25,000 or so of them is just unpleasant.

“Live” event center in Arlington is pretty damn impressive

This is significantly better than dodging gunfire walking into Turner Field.

A college football stadium hosts 20 events a year, maybe? Max?

that area host a lot more than 20 events a year. Where they are talking about building this is along the river they have built up over the years. Also Thompson-Boling Arena is less than half mile, and this will be beneficial during baseball season as well. Just between, Baseball, Football, MBB, and WBB there were 81 home games alone. The Atlanta Braves have 80 games at home this year, not including playoffs. Truist Park holds 41,084. Neyland Stadium holds 101,915, TBA holds 21,678 Lindsey Nelson holds about 5,000 now, but it’s expanding next season to around 8500-10,000 people when expansions are completed. Now add the concerts and other events that are held in Neyland and TBA. This place will make a tone of money during Football and Basketball season. Right now only place near Neyland and TBA to eat on the River is Calhouns on the river. Don’t even try to get in at Calhouns on game day unless you plan on waiting for 2 hours or you get there right when they open. There is a lot of opportunity, but only issue is going to be parking. It looks like this project will take out the G2 parking garage. Parking is already limited i. this area already and this will not help it at all.
