Puzzle Description:

The field at Neyland Stadium - home of the Tennessee Volunteers. "Third Saturday In October" refers to the annual Tennessee - Alabama game. I had to use black instead of orange because Orange is not an available color.

I believe this is the coolest form of alternation I have seen.

After the middle section is solved, look on the left side at rows 1 and 3. There are three 2 clues that need to be placed in row 1. There are two 2 clues that need to be placed in row 3. The total width in which cells can be filled is 10. Now look at how row 1 could be filled in and how this will affect row 3. There is actually only one possible way that row 1 can be filled in that does not make row 3 invalid (columns 1-2, 5-6, and 9-10). The same logic can be applied to the right on the bottom.

Very cool puzzle!

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
