With Limited Vandy Seating Availability-Should We Expect Lots of UK Fans in Attendance.

[shadowman4]

I believe it is being reported that total seating capacity for the Vandy game is only about 29,000 for this season. Should we expect eight or 10,000 of those to be Kentucky fans?

I’ll be there. Love Nashville and Vandys stadium is so small that there isn’t a bad seat in the entire thing. Just hope parking isn’t a mess.

29000 probably holds everyone.

It will look like Commonwealth Stadium South in Nashville Sat at Noon!

10,000 plus UK fans!

We get there early enough to park free. We'll have 6+ in our little group that will be there.

I'll be there tomorrow night. Get up and walk to the game.

I’ve been to Nashville six times.

Our crowd has never been fewer than 10K. The most I saw there was ‘07, when we had fully two-thirds of 40K there . . . the year we beat #1 LSU and Louisville (earlier) at home.

I would say we were 12.5-15K two years ago.

I’m not headed this year.

The Vandy crowd is unique: I’ve sat with or near folks from E-town and further West who do not regularly attend games in Lexington.

I've been to Nashville more than Louisville for away games. It's just a very good trip and you don't have to deal with Louisville fans.

It really is no different than other years. The one end zone they took out was for students ... and barely any of them show up. The other end zone was corporate tents/hospitality.

It'll be a pro-UK crowd as usual.

I was also there in 2007...but my dad (Vandy alum) and I sat in a Vandy section and gradually drew more and more of their ire for our blue gear and cheering. One of them engaged in the nerdiest smack talk I've ever heard (calling our team "blue and white wimps" and repeatedly shouting "go back to Oregon, Brooksie!").

All in all, a funny day. And the good guys won.

I would have come back with, “that’s so funny I forgot to laugh,” as I adjusted my pocket protector.

‘07 was very competitive, Vandy gunning for the end zone two or three times at the end.

I did yell back a couple times. There was an injury timeout for a Vandy player and bored UK fans started the GBB chant. Vandy fans didn't appreciate it and started calling us rednecks. I shouted "I've never known a Tennesseean to call a Kentuckian a redneck" and everyone within earshot laughed and chilled out a bit.

Big UK crowd, me and my sons are going. Vandy will have its usual small surly contingent
