A nice intro paragraph in your post might get more clicks. ;)

What's the expected turnout?

[ETSUfan1]

15-20K. Minuscule for BMS, but it will still be the largest home crowd in ETSU football history.

Hoping I can find a stream of this, crazy to think with 15k people there the stadium will be 90% empty xeyebrowx

If the Tenn VT was the battle at Bristol then this is the Rock Paper Sissors of Bristol

This weekend, two age old Southern Conference rivals will resume a rivalry that started way back in 1932. But instead of East Tennessee State (http://herosports.com/colleges/teams/east-tennessee-state-mens-football) and Western Carolina (http://herosports.com/colleges/teams/western-carolina-mens-football) battling it out in Johnson City or Cullowhee this Saturday, they'll be doing their bidding at Bristol Motor Speedway in the hills of Tennessee--one of the most iconic sports venues in NASCAR. It is the 46th meeting of the rivalry, and the first since 2003 when the Bucs took about a dozen years off from football before restarting the program last year. The game kicks off at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.



Winner's trophy......

No, it looks like it is pretty high up (because the sight line seems to be the same height as the video board)

Looking forward to the game.

Looking forward to the game.

Me too!

I'm wondering how strict they will be with sitting in your assigned seat? I might try and move around to get a view from different spots to see what I like best. Probably set up as high as they'll let me. Maybe catch some shade.

I hope you have a good turnout. Just the experience playing there will be pretty cool.
