Race tracks are probably not viable options for football games outside of one off deals. There's going to be a lot of work that has to go into building the field. Even if it was a one-off as part of a rotating championship, I think the racetracks would prefer to have preset opponents, like Bristol does. Would any track really want to go through all of the effort of converting the field to find out at the last minute that they're hosting GT-WF?
Plus, RIR has a giant scoreboard planted into the ground in the middle of where the field would be, which I think was a relatively recent upgrade. I don't think they're in a position like Bristol to get a giant suspended scoreboard.
Yes thanks, got home from a day of drinking at the lake to read all the good news and left the font off - edited. Kville is for Kernersville though.
Of course that does not count. He would not have done it with his guys, and still will not have proven he can recruit the guys you need to have if you want to win. I mean it be great if he won back to back championships, but if has not brought in a top ten rated class by then he needs to go, or at least fire the coaches who are not bringing the 5 star athletes in their recruiting areas and positions. Give him three years to prove himself before you judge. /s
I read the headline, and was hoping to see some MMA action, or at least a dance off, which Buzz would likely win. I guess it is a good thing we recognize there is a BBall off season enough to realize it sucks too?

The PAC12 is looking at playing a game in China.
So... just a fair warning... do not google "infinity star" in front of children or at work. I learned the hard way.
OSU game was not a ticket sellout and not even close to actually being full. So many empty seats even for that big a game is an issue.
"My mom loves the campus, and she's a Mike Vick fan. She's kind of in love with VT anyway. She was just saying, 'It's up to you, just make sure it's what you want,' and I told her it is, and that's what made me decide to do it publicly."
So you mean we wouldn't have landed Bryce if Torrian was recruiting him?

It's a very nice area. Nocatee was (and probably still is) an investment by the Davis family (Winn-Dixie) and I think it all of it was all part of the old Dee-Dot Ranch.
I'm surprised Nocatee didn't go under when the housing market crashed. This area was one of the hardest hit in the country. They had already made a massive investment in infrastructure and had sold very little. Nocatee was one of the areas where they literally wrapped the partially built houses in weather-proofing and shut down construction for probably a couple of years.
But it is very nice and very well thought out community.
The announced attendance which Tech has always used tickets sales as was only 65,632, capacity of Lane is 66,233. As for how many empty seats there were, in East stands the entire row I was sitting in had 3 people in it. The top 5-6 rows were half full at best. Home field conference championships don't do well hell neutral field games don't have massive attendance except for SEC. The reasons are many and varied, but just placing the game at home fields won't solve the attendance problems. Only one ACC school regularly sell out anymore, Clemson.
Then I stand corrected for ticket sellout.
Incorrect. Lane has a capacity of 65,632 following the recent upgrades.

Lane Stadium, featuring a modern lighting system and a seating capacity of 65,632 for this season after a new section of club seats were replaced on the west side in 2012, ranks as one of the nation's finest collegiate football facilities.

Good to know, appreciate the research.
I was there.
OSU was a sellout. The school announced it. Probably not 100% of the tickets were used, but the "emptiness" of the stadium is often overstated. The North Endzone was well over max capacity, which leaves upper areas in the East and South stands empty. Constant problem over the last decade. Those spots were empty even in sellout years with near-100% ticket redemption.
Right but he won't a natty and didn't last 4 seasons. That was the joke I was making.
The PAC 12 abandoned that model and now play at Levi Stadium.
Of course, ha. But the way he worded it made it sound like he snuck a peek from inside the womb.
And who am I to say he didn't?
I have a 1 year old, a 3 year old and a 5 year old and another one due in late Sept/early Oct, all girls. So schools are a must for us. Would also like stuff for them to do so was I impressed by Nocatee.

Damn he's fast
