And thanks to the move to SEC we’ll have more late afternoon/night games

Can't wait for the remodel of the press box side and hope they add more lighting for night games.

I know its not been as loud but thats mainly due to getting so many damn 11am kickoffs (FU B12). But late afternoon/night games roll different. EA must have given us credit for night games.
Tenn should be in top 10. And we beat 2, 4 and 9 plus Tenn in our last road games vs them.

I call it Owen Field……
Not in conflict since they name the field and Stadium separately.
Seems like the Stadium was always called Memorial Stadium until the Gaylord Family donated a few truckloads of money
Maybe some one could recount the names through the years

Yep. I grew up as a fan and it was called Owen field circa 1971 forward. Don't care much for Toby's nickname.
