Good for both schools.  Hope the event lives up to its billing. 

That said, I will enjoy watching comfortably from my recliner on the big screen.  The game will be fun, but getting out of there after the game won't be.  I've been to a couple of Bristol night races where I didn't get back to Knoxville until 8 AM after sitting in traffic for 5 or 6 hours just getting to I-81.

This is the primary reason I'm not going as well.  Memories of getting out of there after a night race is enough of a motivator for me to watch from the comfort of the recliner.  And those are race fans, folks who are used to the Bristol experience.  There will be a lot more people at this thing who've never been to BMS and it will be chaos.

Wonder if binocular sales will skyrocket?
