Not sure where you're getting that number, but Neyland only seats 101k. The 3 highest capacity stadiums are actually all in the big 10. It is true that the largest crowd ever (156k) to see a college football game was in Tennessee, but that was a one-time event at the NASCAR track in Bristol.

Maybe not, but it's at least a movie a huge number of people have seen and liked, and has been consistently highly rated forever. Versus an obscure one that few have seen and was not highly regarded for decades after its release.

A 200-minute low-budget feminist art film from 1975 that was 35th in the same poll in 2012. Only has 9K ratings on IMDB (7.7 score) compared to 400K ratings each and scores of 8.3 for Vertigo and Citizen Kane.

I'm not doubting it's probably a good movie, but it feels like critics are trying to make some kind of point.
