Tennessee's sports information staff has been in Bristol for the afternoon and has been visiting with the Bristol folks for gameday layout. Tennessee's locker room will be in the turn 3-4 end of the track. Virginia Tech is to be on the other side. Finding enough media seating is a bit of a challenge. The track's media room (atop the track) holds just 90 people.

Coaches will be visiting with the media in the next 20-mins or so.
