In two weeks Virginia Tech and Tennessee will play football in front of 160,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Battle at Bristol will break all college football attendance records.
It leads me to think, “Could Kentucky every do something like this?” In football, the answer is no. Even in the rivalry against Louisville, you wouldn’t be able to find enough people to go, or the proper venue (even though it would be pretty cool to watch a football game at Churchill Downs).
In basketball, the answer is yes. In fact, they’ve done something like this before.
