I've attended several games at Neyland over the years, but it had been several years since I had been there until Saturday.
My observations:
The tailgaiting is a joke...most of it in a parking deck (at least what I saw).
The buildings on campus were old, cramped and outdated...especially their food court and bathrooms. I did hear someone say they were tearing down that building to rebuild a new one.
Tried to watch a little of the MSU vs. KY game and the auditorium they were showing it in was like going back in time 50 years, not to mention the terrible satelite reception.
Very little modern construction around campus, especially compared to all the new buildings on Bama's campus.
And then Neyland! I remember it being cramped, but it was worse than I remember. It's not just the butt room but also the leg room in front and behind you that is so cramped.
The concourses, in the south endzone where we were sitting, were made for a few thousand not 100,000.
And the bathrooms made Legion Fields' bathrooms desireable.
Also, I hate how they pipe the UT band's music over the PA system...sounds terrible.
I saw the "field condition" thread, but from where I was sitting I couldn't really tell, but I did see Yeldon slip several times.
