Yesterday marked 100 days until the kickoff of the Battle at Bristol. To mark the occasion, representatives from Virginia Tech and Tennessee traveled to New York City to talk about the big game, and discuss all the logistics it takes to transform a speedway into a football venue. The game will be attended by over 150,000 fans, setting a new record for college football attendance.
