Tennessee will face Virginia Tech in the Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol on Sept. 10 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The event is set to have the largest attendance in the history of College Football with all 150,000 tickets sold well ahead of time.
“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,” Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said this spring. “To me, that was not anticipated by very many people.”
