But, it's jarring to see, nevertheless.

But, it's jarring to see, nevertheless. My grandfather originally bought our family seats in section R in the 50s. I don’t know why, but those pictures just shook me. My family has sat there for almost 70 years. Poof, they are gone. It makes me so sad.

Title: Re: Neyland 100K demolition underway Post by: BanditVol on December 02, 2021, 08:39:48 EST Someone posted on another board that the AD should really fix the bathrooms. Said the troughs are embarassing and even rusted out, and alleged that parts of the stadium haven't been painted since the 80s or 90s (I have my doubts about that last part).
I would say the point about the bathrooms is a good one, cosmetically. How many 10s of millions have been dumped into the stadium in the last 20 years and something as basic as bathrooms haven't changed since the 50s? That's kind of embarassing actually. As for the troughs, I personally don't mind them. IMO they speed things up. I dislike waiting with a full bladder a lot more than I dislike the troughs. :naughty: Title: Re: Neyland 100K demolition underway Post by: PirateVOL on December 02, 2021, 09:24:13 EST As for the troughs, I personally don't mind them.

My whole life growing up, Mom and I sat in section S -- about 30 rows up. I grew up watching the Vols, Tennessee Walking Horse and of course, at age 5, the cheerleaders were #1 on my list! LOL! So glad they are finally upgrading -- how many seats will be lost with this renovation?
