Tennessee fans launch website for 'Checker Neyland' movement
Tennessee fans have started a movement to checker Neyland Stadium for the team’s Oct. 4 matchup against Florida. Web developers Tim McLeod and Jonathan Briehl launched checkerneyland.com Thursday with a concept inspired by the following tweet:

“The plan started this week,” McLeod said. “A friend tweeted a picture and I came up with the concept. We built the site over the next few days. It took a while to map the stadium out. Lots of coffee.”
