I’m not sure what the criteria are but it’s not just overall seeding at this point when two 2 seeds are fighting to host a super. Their stadium actually holds a few more people.
You know what cures all this? Win. And after decades of ineptitude, I fully embrace the role of villain in all sports and hope we continue to be villains.
I think when they keep the selection process vague then they invite this sort of scrutiny. If they said largest stadium at a minimally acceptable hotel situation, fine. If they say it is a mix of factors and talk about rankings and body of work, THEN fall back on a few more seats... well. That tennessee wrapped this up yesterday should be more than enough of a tie breaker to be honest.
If you go to utsports.com, it shows our capacity as 4,045. If you go to Wiki it shows our capacity at 4,283 and if you click the reference link for that number, it takes you to utsports.com where it shows the capacity at 4,283. Have we lost some capacity at some point? It seems with the bleachers down the LF line and the additional levels of the party decks in LF, our capacity would only be increasing.
I'm pretty sure they only seed the 1s in order. I don't think they differentiate between the 1st 2 seed and the 16th 2 seed, they are all just two seeds.
I'm wondering if previous it was total capacity and now it's just seats? I know we hit 5K last postseason.
All I know is Danny will bust his ass to make sure we get a chance to host and he will have the help of Sankey.
I'm just hoping it doesn't come down to a Texas/A&M Super and we have to split it and we get screwed. I ain't worried about Danny doing his part.
