Just saw a tweet citing ESPN. Does this story have legs?

I won't go - don't the gazillion hours it will take to get out of that freaking place after the game That's why I don't go to the night race there anymore, plus the sight lines will absolutely SUCK! You will need 100 power glasses to see the freaking game! |

A person in the top row of the 3rd deck at uga would be closer than someone on the 50, row 1! |

I know. I'm not thinking of going. I just think it's a good idea for the attention it brings to both programs. |

We already have Nebraska (away) and UConn (home) scheduled for that season. I hope those don't get bought out. But I'll bet at least one of them gets moved to another year.

Wait a minute- did you guys see this? The Hokies have an opening for a non-conference game in 2017, so it’s highly likely that they will host Tennessee in the second half of a neutral-home series. You mean we may have to play them at a neutral site racetrack, and then play them the next year at THEIR place, without a return game to Knoxville? fizzle that.  http://www.fbschedules.com/2013/10/report-tennessee-virginia-tech-bristol-motor-speedway-2016/ |

Won't matter what color jerseys UT wears because they won't be seen for all of the advertisement stickers.

And it will probably be a Thursday or Friday night game, to boot.

I'm not a fan of the idea. I hate to see us move games away from Neyland Stadium, ESPECIALLY if it's true that we're going to have to give them a neutral-home series. That bites.

I think there will be a presser around noon(on Monday), according to Fox. This would be great as a kickoff classic. Yeah, the sight lines would stink, but it would be a huge event and a great party. They could certainly become a great Non Con rival to us.

As VTTW's least fun poster I will note this. Winning does wonders for recruiting. Everything else is noise - and not just the junk that will play at the stadium. Winning 11 > than playing at a racetrack or playing in pajamas.  |

It will only be a good idea if there is a NASCAR race going on at the same time. |

Stupid all the way around. It makes no sense at all. To call it a home game for Tennessee then turn around and go to VT in 2017 is nuts, fans won't be able to see a thing. Someone scores a TD and thirty seconds later the crowd goes wild? Not likely. This was a bad idea from the outset.

Ummm, guys.... I don't think this was setup because Bristol is a convenient place for fans to watch football games. Nobody is going to force you to go. This is going to make national headlines.
