at Bristol Motor Speedway. Might be the biggest crowed to ever watch a football game, 150K+.

Curious about the sightlines. Talk about being a LONG way from the field...

They tried to get that game in a few years ago. Glad to see it finally happen.

Ive always looked at that place and wondered if it could host a football game. I guess that's my answer. That will be awesome.

I've been telling everyone that ever since the SEC expanded to 14 teams and people started saying the next move was to a 9-game schedule. It's just not going to happen. The SEC's 8-game conference schedule is tougher than any other conferences 9-game schedules and it leaves the SEC with more flexibility to schedule big non-conference games.

Yeah, true, but it's fairly close to Blacksburg and they'll bring a bunch of fans. Not sure it'll total to 150K though ... some Tennessee fans won't travel that far, especially if they're playing then like they are now.

I think the current record was set by Michigan earlier in the year with something like 115K.

If Butch Jones keep recruiting the way he is now

Then they should be playing pretty good ball in a few years
