I'm anxious to see this game and how it plays out at this venue.
a new 700 ton suspended video board, that's nuts.

There might be 60,000 people who make the trip. It's going to look stupid.

The Colossus video board weighs about 700 tons. The four towers are made of 437 tons of steel, and the cabling itself weighs 117 tons, with the largest cables 63 pounds per foot, 30 percent larger than the vertical cables supporting the Golden Gate Bridge. The hi-def screens are 63 feet wide by three stories tall -- big enough to park 19 Sprint Cup cars on each of them. For sound, 485 speakers run on 540,000 watts of electricity.


Wow, that's impressive.

I would think it's a total sellout, one time thing and will be wildly popular. Each school is relatively close

Lots of room to tailgate there, too. Probably the best venue for stock car racing, as well.

Exactly what I was thinking. You won't be able to see much from the bleachers anyways. I'd rather watch it on tv personally.

Game will sell out because of the spectacle alone. Lots of nascar fans from both of those schools. I support this idea.

I have family in Kingsport, TN which is very close and the population is about 70/30 UT and VT fandom. It should be huge. That being said, it's not the wealthiest area and I could easily see it pricing out too many fans.

I have cousins that live on Boone Lake in the tri-city area. One of them is a Vol season ticket holder. He has told me that the game is already sold out.

This is a dental implant outfit's marketing dream.
There's a reason it's not called a TEETH brush in Tenn.
