All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

That LED light show will be awesome for our 1-2 games a year that don’t kickoff at noon.

I don't know much about massive WiFi networks, but are there any venues comparable to the size of Neyland that can pull off WiFi service to 100,000 peeps at one time in one discrete location?  Sounds like a huge challenge, but I really dunno the tech that well.

Florida, Alabama and Georgia have figured it out, for YEARS!

Encouraging fans to slap "I will give my all" signs as they exit the concourse sounds so corny it's hard to believe that Butch Jones didn't come up with it.

The Altanta Braves stadium has it figured out, from what I have heard.  Though in fairness those crowds are smaller.

Smaller, and newly built from the ground up, so not really a fair comparison. But yeah, they have WiFi repeaters built into the handrails going up every single aisle. Their WiFi with a crowd of 40,000 is actually faster than my home WiFi. Impressive.

Butch Jones level gimmicks. 

Just be competitive and learn how to win games.  That's the only thing that will bring fans in and bring them back again.

true, but all of those repeaters have to be funneled through a few modems which require an buttload of bandwidth to service 100k. Hellishly expensive, which given the crap performance of the last decade+, I'm sure no one wants to add to the ticket costs. Just speculating though
