Battle of Bristol - Officially Sold Out

Tennessee - Va Tech
“I don’t think any reasonable person could anticipate that with 150,000-plus seats that the track would be announcing a sellout well ahead of the game,” said Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart. “To me, that was not anticipated by very many people.”
Ready to get my redneck on that weekend
It is going to be a disaster and I hope I can just sit and watch all the terribleness at once

I understand the spectacle of it and all....but man some of those seats are going to be so far away from the field

Traffic in and out should be a hoot, but this is a very cool idea
In theory it's a good idea....

no, it isnt.
its a terrible idea.
a race track is a HORRIBLE venue for people to watch a football game.
the sightlines and distances at this are going to make the seats football games at baseball stadiums have look good by comparison.

That's a more accurate statement, looking at the stadium comparison

Why wouldn't this sell out?
You merged the neckcar and rednecks from Tenn and virginia, this appeals to many in that area.

it's as bad as the Hockey games in Baseball/Football stadiums.

Don't forget the Colussus TV hanging above the field 
that they just put in

The gigantic arena style video board they installed will help a ton, since you'll likely be watching that more than the action on the field.
At the end of the day its a major novelty factor. Since they sold out they'll do it gain next year and only sell half the seats and scrap it going forward.
