Virginia Tech Will Reportedly Play Tennessee at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016 | Bleacher Report

Consider the source, but this would be freaken epic if it happened.

It was reported by Feldman and Joe Schad last night. Looks like it is happening. Can't wait

It's happening. See the Future Opponents thread.

 

[Hokie200proof]

Yea, didn't see the thread posted, didn't think to check under Future Opponents.



Also, ya know, figured it was a big deal since it's in there amongst Hokie lore like Metallica playing our intro live and crap like that...










... hey wait a minute... maybe Metallica would play us in if we gave them an audience of over 160K?

Absolutely fantastic idea 200proof.

Showing off my mad paint skills. Can you tell I'm excited?? I actually did some reserach on the infield dimensions. This is pretty close to what it would look like I think. I would expect several jumbotrons somewhere or another. Slacking at work pretty bad today.

Wow, maybe they can hold a race and football game at the same time!

definitely excited for this....but....I will not be going. Unless some drastic things are done to get some stands closer to the field, its going to be awful to try to see from the stand already there

My biggest question is are they going to bring in some huge screens to put up so people can see what's going on. Also, I wonder if the locker rooms will just be giant tents.

One thing I hope they do, especially for the overhead visual, is split the seating into sides. Tennessee fans wear orange and sit on one half of the track, VT fans in Maroon sit on the other half.

Was thinking the same thing. But knowing the safety precautions NASCAR takes it is highly unlikely. Would be great for ADD fans though!!

Battle at Bristol Ticket Application Mailing

They're mailing tickets to season ticket holders and Hokie club members, or you can pre-order online from the hokiesports site.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a great fundraiser. What a crazy party!

I'm still trying to figure out how the general public can get tickets?

"Sales to the general public will begin in early 2016"... so join the Hokie Club or have a long wait. Either way you'll be waiting until 2016 to get your seat information

Really looking forward to this game. Should be a blast.
