Western Carolina-East Tennessee State to play at Bristol Motor Speedway
Posted Jan 31, 2016
When East Tennessee State plays its first Southern Conference football game since 2003 on Sept. 17, it will be in Bristol Motor Speedway, which on that day will be college football’s largest venue. And Western Carolina will be at the party. The Buccaneers will host WCU at the 165,000-seat speedway one week after Tennessee and Virginia Tech are expected to set a collegiate record for most fans at a football game in “The Battle at Bristol.”
