The hype around the teams in ‘12 and ‘13 were obviously different, but why did we not try to make this a Thursday night game?
Everything about this weekend is working against us crowd wise. A big chunk of Vandy fans are likely traveling for Labor Day weekend, VT fans can make the easy drive over to Nashville for the long weekend, it’s a sleepy 11am game, and neutral nashville CFB fans would rather sit on the couch and watch a full slate of games. If this was a Thursday night kick, people would still be in town, and those Nashville sports fans would happily come to a game just to see some CFB that doesn’t conflict with their team. Was this an option or did we just not even try to make this happen? It’s too obvious.
Get ready for 30k VT fans on Saturday. Why would they not all come to Nashville for week 1?
