And the worst traffic jam to ever accompany a CFB game.

Re: TN and VT to play game at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016
Yeah great idea. Stadiums with tracks around them are terrible and fans can't be near the action, but somehow having and entire racetrack and a quarter of an infield between you and the game is just peachy.
Fvckers are gonna need the goddam Hubble telescope to see the game. SMFH

This'll be the second football game at Bristol. The NFL has already done it. 1961 Eagles-Redskins.

Surely, the sight lines won't be the greatest for some, but the atmosphere will be incredible with 160,000 people:

It'd be awesome if they have a race going at the same time. Otherwise, no thanks.

Re: TN and VT to play game at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016
What's the bank at Bristol? Could they put additional seating on the track itself?

Nothing makes a great college football environment like the fans being a full football field away from the game!
