Talk:Neyland Stadium

Expand this please
As a person who is interested in large seating venues (is that weird?), I am shocked to learn that there is not more information on one of the largest stadiums in the United States. I'd expand it, but I don't know anything.--Attitude2000 04:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Various rankings
Be careful when adding facts about the various rankings for this stadium and any stadium. Basically, stick to lists that already exist, which usually include a conference list (Southeastern Conference for here obviously), List of American football stadiums by capacity, List of NCAA Division I FBS football stadiums, and List of stadiums by capacity. The "largest stadium in the South" may seem like a logical ranking to include, but since "the South" is rather ambiguous and no such list exists (so there is no reference) it really shouldn't be included. Also, despite published sources for the various stadium expansion projects, avoid making speculations about a stadium's particular future ranking by capacity under the Wikipedia policy of WP:CRYSTAL. Basically, avoid speculating since there are no published sources for Neyland's (or any stadium such as Bryant-Denny or DKR-Texas Stadium) "future" ranking. Stick to the published, referenced facts. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Future edits
If you make any additions to this article, please use specific dates, rather than a timeframe based on the current date. For example, use "In 2006 and 2009..." rather than "Over the last four years," or "In 1976..." rather than "35 years ago." This helps keep the article current.Bms4880 (talk) 15:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The Jamboree at Neyland, referenced at the end of the "Other Uses" section, states that the high school Jamboree was discontinued in 2013 (thank you, Derek Dooley /s). However, the Jamboree was held in 2018, presumably reinstating the annual event. This noteworthy information may need to be expressed in keeping this page up to date.

Info needed
I have been unable to find substantial information regarding the stadium's general design and layout. Such information would be useful in this article. See the "Description" section of Staples Center for an example. Also, we might add a short blurb at the beginning of the history section about where the team played prior to Neyland's construction.

Size ranking
The lead states that the stadium is the sixth largest, but this list has it at #5. Need to correct one.»NMajdan · talk 02:53, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The parent list has it at #6. It hinges on whether or not you count AT&T Stadium's standing-room capacity (105k), or its normal capacity (85k).  One list does, the other doesn't.  Bms4880 (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
