In all the years of Gators playing the Vols, I have never heard of the Gator fans not taking their allotment of
tickets to Neyland. Almost 2000 returned this year. What's up with that?

Show up with a box of Franzia, a funnel, and some tubing. They'll form a line.
Actually, I'm half tempted to do that just to see what kind of rise I can get out of the inbreds. :lol:

Based on the last two games in The Swamp, people are not coming to The Swamp either. Half of the upper North End Zone, South End Zone and East Stands were barren the last two games... Reported attendance of 80,0000.

Yes. In addition to our new motto of not being turned around, and not backing down, we have also decided we're not going to show up.

Well, If you're not gonna show at your own stadium, why would anyone expect you to show up at Neyland?

I think Florida Field (before BHG, before the Swamp, before SOS field in BHG at Florida Field) had a capacity of 53000 when I was there. Maybe 73000; it was a long time ago:)

Capacity

88,548 (2003–present)
83,000 (1991–2002)
72,000 (1982–1990)
62,800 (1966–1981)
46,164 (1960–1965)
40,116 (1950–1959)
21,769 (1930–1949)

Record attendance
90,916



So how can record attendance be higher than capacity?

Capacity counts seats. Attendance is everybody there including players, coaches, photographers, TV crews, bands, security, concession sales, officials, etc.

The truth? They make it up. They have no idea how many souls are actually in the building. When the sports information department decides we need to set a new attendance record, they add a dozen to whatever the last record was.




Alex.
