When I was watching the sights and sounds of practice video, it sounded more like a pep rally then a training session.

First OFF, I love BEER. I know beer was in stadium pre covid, when thermos, etc were allowed. Often folks showed up drunk. BUT it was not a big problem (student section, etc.) But alcohol has gotten me into trouble and expect it to do the at games. Boo - wait til after game.

I hate the idea of alcohol in Memorial Stadium. It will just lead to obnoxious drunks.

I'm worried college games will resemble NFL games, with belligerent, vulgar fans everywhere you turn. College games need to remain a family-friendly atmosphere, where parents shouldn't be hesitant to take children.

I"m not looking forward to it. I already have people sitting around me that either come snockered or bring their little bottles of booze and bother us or even opposing fans by making smart remarks to them. It will not make things better. Dennis

Booze seems to make some people speak before they think. I would guess they will have to increase their security guards and purchase more zip tie cuffs.

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.
I wouldn't use the word cowardly but it's a terrible decision for fans. I believe most fans would forego two guaranteed home wins for the chance to play Tennessee at home and on the road. It's a weak move on the football program's part

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

100% - as a fan I would love to see a live practice. I would gladly pay for it. A wonderful experice AND helps buld NIL for future players. It's a NO Brainer!
ReplyThe environment of just being inside the stadium is worth it. This season will be great!
ReplyGood idea...but it would be better to see a practice later on in the year...As a former HS coach...fans won't see much, a few drills and come spit a polish. They are not going to show much this early. Maybe the Friday before the Colorado game...still won't see much...but the atmosphere, crazy.
ReplyYes, but not enough to fill the coffers. We need someone like Warren Buffet to step up the the plate and establish an endowment that would be a difference maker.
