I didn't know where to find this thread.
Only thanks to the setting. That stadium is a giant erector set.Good proposal.
Anyhow, its already a beautiful stadium this, mainly thanks to its setting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_football_stadiums_by_capacityLooks like you got the capacity wrong, Sercan & Goothrey. The News Sentinel article says 104,079. It must be the biggest football stadium in the US, correct?
http://www.utsports.com/facilities/neyland-stadium.htmlCapacity:
102,037 - Largest football stadium in the South, third-largest college stadium in the country. Has undergone 17 additions/renovations since the West stands were built in 1921, seating 3200. Latest addition East Side club seat area completed in 2006.
The endzone upper deck with the roof was built in the late 1990's. The sections the roof covers are all chair-backed, NFL style seats and at the time, were the only ones in the stadium outside of the press box. My guess is that they wanted to keep the wealthy alumni who were paying for those seats dry.why is only half the stands covered?
