At 6:00 a.m. on Monday April 21, 1986, Phil Williams, disc jockey at WIMZ-FM 104, began his quest to sit in each of the 91,249 outside seats in Neyland Stadium, culminating planning with the UT Athletics Department begun in January. The one-man wave had been accomplished previously in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, and at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore—but never in a stadium as large as Neyland. Williams’s plan was to slide across 11,000 seats a day (his morning show was broadcast from the stadium during his journey). He soon discovered, however, that sliding across the seats wore out his clothes and resulted in “seat burn.” A special chair was designed to allow him to slide freely across the seats.
