The History of Neyland Stadium

I know a place where over 100,000 people can gather together to celebrate a common cause. They come to learn about courage, determination and loyalty. I know a place that provides a medium for parents to pass on traditions to their children. I know a place where the hue of the congregation's attire on a cool night in October sticks in the minds of newcomers for the rest of their lives. And on a few rare nights, the voices of the past can sometimes ring louder in your head than the thousands of people that gathered there just hours before. That was an excerpt from a piece Daniel Hudson wrote in a bleacher report article about Neyland Stadium from 2012. I read it like it was a poem talking about how special the stadium that sits on the banks of the Tennessee river is. This past weekend I got to not only experience my first Tennessee game but my first SEC college football game. As I sat in the stadium looking around all I could think about was the history behind the stadium walls being a college football history nut.
