We are demolishing and reconstructing the entire west side of the stadium and lowering seating capacity by a few thousand. I think it's a great move. The west side is the home side, and the concourse there is awfully outdated.

No thanks. Neyland has the most history in CFB. Wouldn’t be feasible anyway. A new stadium would have to be built off campus.

Nouveau riche don’t understand history and tradition. UGA had to “borrow” the G, the colors, the mascot, the fight song, the cheer… they don’t understand thinks like tradition.

Yeah, place is a dump, the poor's have depended on opposing fansbases to fill it up since 2008.

That’s interesting considering every fan base returned a portion of their visitor tickets last year.

Case in point age and history are not the same.

UGA's "Power G" isn't borrowed...it's an original 1964 creation in which Green Bay asked UGA permission to use it! The Registered Trademark to the Power G is owned by....GEORGIA, not Green Bay. Originally, UGA asked Green Bay for permission to put a single G on its helmets; however, Green Bay's "G" was different from UGA's...Green Bay liked UGA's better and asked permission from UGA to use our G and UGA granted permission.
GEORGIA OWNS THE REGISTERED TRADEMARK -- NOT GREEN BAY!
We didn't borrow our colors nor our mascot.
Tennessee BORROWED its colors from the pansy-looking Daisy that grows on your campus...looks more like vomit mixed with orange juice!

Calling bullshite on that. However, maybe some were tired of coming to that dump just to watch a beat down, so you could be right.

The history associated with Neyland is far richer than the stadiums you listed as older. Do you understand the difference? Age is a component of history but history is greater than age. She is when it was built, history is what has happened there since it was built. Art vs science.

Pumpkin we have to get with the times. Games in person are not like they were 10-20 years ago. People are electing to stay home and watch on their big screens so schools are forced to enhance their in game experience or you will continue to see lots of empty seats across the country. It will still be loud as hell - I love that we are adding another jumbotron. Don't be an old ball

Richer? Hmmm, why don't y'all take some of that money and build a new stadium?
Oh, oh, oh. You mean "richer" as in tradition, right?
Well, I'd say the last 20 years of Tennessee's history has taken a toll on your so-called rich history and has left a nasty, soiled stain on your bleachers that have resulted in your 100,000 Vomiteer fans who've all shat their pants during this time.
Yes. I'd say it's time to TEAR THAT PLACE DOWN!!! STANKY PLACE!!!

The only one that comes close to matching Neyland history on your list is Bobby Dodd.

I ain't looking shite up. Vols are irrelevant in football.
The obese Hippeul isn't gonna change that.

You Tennessee fans need to learn college football history!!
Franklin Field in Philadelphia (home of Univ of Pennsylvania)....It was the first college stadium in the United States with a scoreboard or an upper deck of seats. In 1922, it was the site of the first radio broadcast of a football game in 1922 on WIP, as well as of the first television broadcast of a football game by Philco.
From 1958 until 1970, the stadium was the home field of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.
Franklin Field even hosted political conventions.
And, of course, Franklin hosted many of the Army-Navy games.
No stadium in America has as rich and varied history as Franklin Field. Case closed.
