It’s official. Neyland Stadium will be back to normal this fall as Tennessee kicks off the Josh Heupel era. The University of Tennessee announced that Neyland Stadium would go back to operating a full capacity this fall, as the world continues to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tennessee restricted capacity to around 25 percent last season for a ten game, SEC-only schedule. Now with a full slate of games returning for 2021, Neyland Stadium will be back to normal once again.
“I know our fans are eager to experience the rich pageantry of Tennessee football gamedays again, and they’re going to have an exciting brand of football to rally around,” Danny White said. “This will be my first football season at Tennessee, and after witnessing the power of Vol Nation during our recent baseball postseason run, I cannot wait to see the impact of our fans giving their all in a packed Neyland Stadium.”
The University has since lifted capacity restrictions at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, creating an electric environment for the opening regional round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
Tennessee will open football season on Thursday night, September 2nd against Bowling Green. Home games against Pitt, Tennessee Tech, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Georgia, South Alabama and Vanderbilt complete the home schedule for the Volunteers.
“We can’t wait to experience the Vol Walk, running through the ‘T’ and everything that makes Neyland Stadium special,” Heupel said. “I get goosebumps just thinking about what it will be like that Thursday night. The passion of Vol Nation is unmatched, and we are grateful for their support.”

And on a related note, he'll have hemorrhoids the Sunday morning after Kentucky runs through his bitch arse.

Nothing says “Tennessee football in 2021” like getting goosebumps thinking about playing a Thursday night game

Those aren’t goosebumps Josh, it’s leftovers from your chicken nugget 50-piece at McDonald’s last night.

So 35000 of these and a bunch of fans from the opposing team.

Heupel just wants to be competitive and put in a good showing at UT hoping that some NFL team will come in and hire Lincoln Riley away from OU soon.

After Oklahoma, Heupel was drafted in the sixth round and never made an NFL roster.
Does that seem odd for an AP Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy runner-up?

Well wasn’t he regarded as a system QB coming out of college? Those type guys used to get that label until here recently.

Yep, he had the fortunate/unfortunate experience of getting lumped in with Mike Leach's system, which is fantastic for producing coaches, but not so great for the NFL.

He’ll be used to the size of crowd he’ll have at Neyland. It’ll be about the same as he had at UCF.
