South Carolina's record sellout streak set to continue with Tennessee visiting

South Carolina's record sellout streak is set to extend when Tennessee visits, with another capacity crowd expected for the Volunteers' trip to face the Gamecocks.

A streak like that underlines the atmosphere Tennessee will walk into on the road. A sold-out stadium does not decide a game by itself, but it does add to the challenge of communication and composure in a hostile SEC environment.

For Tennessee, the news is a reminder to prepare for one of the louder settings on the schedule. Handling the crowd noise and the early energy in the stadium will be part of the test against South Carolina.
