Since graduating, becoming staff, and no longer a full time student when I’m a student, I can no longer get those free student tickets. So in the past four years, I haven’t gone to many games. The games I do go to are ones where I am fortunate enough to get a ticket from someone at church. This game was no different.
I was fortunate enough to get tickets and a parking pass from Nancy Prosser. Nancy is one of a few “second” moms I have up here. When she found out that she is the same age and even share’s the same first name as my mom, she insists that I call her mom. When she heard that the game was going to be a night game, she decided that she wasn’t going to go. They have 4 tickets and gave me two of them. I think the other two might have gone unused though, because there were two empty seats next to us. I gave the other ticket to Kacie Cook since she goes to Pellissippi and also can’t get student tickets.
I realized something before I left for the game… I have never taken any pictures from within Neyland Stadium… (yeah I’m still waiting for Ben to get me down on the field). So this game, I was gonna take my camera in a take some pictures. The 20D with my 70-200mm 2.8L lens would be the best, but a little too much to take into the stands. I thought about taking the G3, but I ended up taking the A80 since its smaller and fits easier in a pocket. I’ll share with y’all a Panorama I stitched together real quickly this morning. You’ll notice a cross between the lights up in the sky boxes. That was not photoshopped in. I’ll have to look and see what that really is. I never noticed it until I looked at these pictures. It appears in both of the pictures that cover that section in the panorama, so its not some lighting anomaly.
maybe someone on ebay would pay for that picture. haha.
that is kinda weird though
So what is it? I think it might become more famous than the Bongo Java Mother Theresa bun!
so did you ever figure out what it was?
Here’s an exploded view of that area taken a while back from the top of McClung Tower. I haven’t been able to get a good view of it to see what it really is.

It’s probably just a lightening rod.
