This book is for anyone who is a BIG ORANGE FAN or has attended a game at the mecca of college football. Robin Hood captures lots of great photographs of players and fans that have put on the orange and ventured to Neyland Stadium. The only thing lacking is a soundtrack that includes the fans cheering, John Ward saying "IT'S FOOTBALL IN TENNESSEE", and, of course, The Pride of the Southland band playing "Rocky Top".

As one who has spent an appreciable amount of time in Neyland Stadium, as a spectator and a resident (Yes, men's dormitories and faculty offices have occupied space underneath the stands since at least the 1950's!)I can say this is more than just another picture book! Neyland: Life of a Stadium is a beautiful representation of the place the gridiron Volunteers call home through larger than life color pictures and larger than life commentary from many of the GREATEST LEGENDS to perform on the field and/or the press box! Not to be overlooked by anyone who has basked in the glory of the Big Orange...'It's Football Time in Tennessee.'

If you are interested in the history of Vols football and Neyland Stadium this is a great read. It's full of historic photo's as well as a gameday chapter full of some very beautiful and recent pcitures from gameday at Neyland. I own a few Vol books, this is my favorite.
