I think Alabama is going to hold more people than Neyland when all their renovations are finished. It will be close. Course, we have yanked out a ton of seats in the name of corporate progress.

How long til a sold out stadium?

And it'll still be quieter than a whore in church.

that stadium is such a piece of shit, you could type for hours and not cover all the bad points, and yes, the quietest 100K+ stadium on the planet.

Once the current renovations are completed at Neyland and the games are sold out, Hamilton has mentioned adding more seats and another video screen in the north endzone.

Where could seats possibly be added?

with the addition of the tennessee terrace our capacity is now under 100,000 not sure how much under. our official capacity before this yr. was 102,038. don't know how many we lost with the addition of the terrace. last i heard the seats in the terrace weren't selling well. could be quite in our stadium this yr. except when the visitors bring the crowds.

or you could be like MIchigan, re-stripe the seats making them about 10 inches wide, and "say you added a couple thousand seats".

He said additional rows could be added along with a new video screen in that end zone.

It would be initially unpopular, but they could theoretically remove the single chair seating in the North Upper Deck and replace it with the same bleachers used throughout the rest of the stadium. I don't know the math but you'd have to think re-doing all of those sections would add at least 1,000 seats.

And Bammer is certainly larger than UT with a few other stadiums now coming very close in seats. One thing about Neyland is the seat width is already several inches more narrow than other stadiums. I have been to UGA's stadium on multiple occasions and it just looks larger to me but their seats are 2-4" wider but also several more inches between rows resulting in a few thousand less seats overall. It certainly is more comfortable with that extra width in the seats and extra inches for the knee's. In Neyland I can deal with the narrow seats better than I can the narrow rows as I am constantly getting knee'ed in the back and trying to not knee the person in front of me in the back. Getting out of the aisle for food or restroom is a foot stomping exercise. It is just the way it is when your stadium is as old as ours is. I guess the engineering skills weren't there to overhang the upper decks more and to get a smaller 3rd deck in between the lower deck and upper deck for the clublevel seats like stadiums like UGA and others have.

If I was high on UT Football program right now I would get me one of those Tennessee Terrace seats for the chair back and presumed more room between rows.

Already did this. Gotta be some of the skinniest seats in any stadium around.

Terrible choice of words in light of our recent troubles.
