Editorial Review Book Description On six or seven Saturdays each fall, a single stadium becomes a city of 107,000, larger than all but four cities in the entire state. And while the fans fill Neyland Stadium to watch their beloved Tennessee Volunteers play football, the game-day experience is much more than just the game. For more than 100 years, Tennessee football has been discussed on street corners, around water coolers, and in board rooms all over the state. Robert Heller has captured this spectacular tradition with full-color photography ranging from candid close-ups to panoramic shots and everything in between. For every fan of Tennessee football, this book will bring a new perspective to the spectacle of game day at Neyland Stadium. ... Read more Customer Reviews (4)
Horrible! A stinker!
I ordered this book, sight unseen, based on Amazon's recommendation, as a Christmas gift for a UT friend of mine. I sent it back and ordered something else because I would have been EMBARRASSED to give this to my friend. This book is terrible! The whole book is nothing but photos taken at UT football games, with virtually no text. There is no real information about UT's history, heritage, program, record, anything! The whole book is nothing but pictures, and mediocre pictures at that. There are boring pictures of fans, boring pictures of referees, boring pictures of people walking -- you get the idea. Even the cheerleader pictures are boring!! There is almost NO football in the whole book! I cannot imagine anyone, even a diehard UT fan like my friend, being entertained by this book for more than about 45 seconds.
I liked it a lot
I have a bunch of TN books at home and this is a good one.I liked the insight and it has some good pics that I'd never seen before.I recommend this book highly, along with "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" by Chris Warner--another good one for Vol/SEC fans.
Go Vols!
Great Photos, but not what I expected
If you are a Tennessee football fan, there are better books out there.While there are some great photos in this book, I was rather disapointed with it for the price.
fabulous photography
This book has some stunning photos, and is the perfect gift for a Tennessee Volunteers fan.
