    A CLASSIC COLLEGE STADIUM!!! My only recommendation is do not get too drunk if your seats are on second level as those stairs are STEAP! We were a few rows up and I felt like I was looking straight down so I can't even imagine being any higher. Even though the Vols were playing a no name team the energy was great and the fans showed up. This was my first experience at a college football game other than my own and my standards were exceeded. Go Vols!!!

    GO CATS - thanks for the hospitality, Neyland

    As part of our tradition to visit a different SEC school each year to cheer on the Kentucky Wildcats, we made our way to Neyland Stadium in Knoxville for the Blackout game--a 7:45 pm kickoff under the lights. It was a guys' trip full of rivalry vibes, and Neyland did not disappoint when it came to atmosphere and production. First off, the fans were exactly what you'd expect in a heated SEC matchup. Sure, we got a few middle fingers and had to deal with the occasional drunk college "bro" trying to puff his chest, nothing we couldn't handle as seasoned Wildcats fans. I won't let that deter the majority of Vol fans that were welcoming us to Knoxville and having some friendly conversations. It was all just passionate fan energy all around. What really stood out--and I've got to give props here--was the level of production Neyland puts on for its fans. From the pregame show to the stadium lighting and coordinated crowd energy, it's clear Tennessee knows how to create a big-time college football experience. Bravo, Volunteers. The one downside is the seating. Most of the stadium is bench seating, which means things are tight. Sitting in the visitors sections with a bunch of other Wildcat fans was no problem by me! By the time everyone packs in, you'll definitely be getting to know your neighbors whether you want to or not. Still, the excitement of the game had us standing the majority of the time anyway. All in all, Neyland Stadium is a must-visit for any SEC fan. The crowd, the energy, and the production make it one of the best environments for college football. Just be ready to squeeze into your spot and bring your A-game for some friendly banter with the Vols faithful! If you're the visiting team, I highly recommend sitting in the visitors section with your own kind.

    I've been all over the SEC and have a lot to compare the Tennessee game-day experience to. This is the most split I have ever been. Great alumni! I had friendly football-focused conversations with more Tennessee fans than I could count, folks who went out of their way to be friendly to an extent that very few venues have matched. Loved the band playing Rocky Top, and I don't mind admitting that I sang along! Great, loud college football environment during the game. And the orange-and-white checkerboard was really cool. Having said that, any honest description of a visiting fan's experience has to call out the students. You would think it's their patriotic duty to say something profane and derogatory to every passing visitor. When a 22-year-old girl walking by herself gets told "go f--- yourself" by an orange-clad fan, THERE IS A PROBLEM. Yes that is the worst example I witnessed, but there were plenty of others. The kids are like that everywhere, you say? Nope - I've been to 14 of the 16 2024 SEC schools, and I can promise you that the upper tier aren't like that.

    East Club Level inside of NEYLAND Stadium - blocked off with curtaining and guarded by personnel.  Otherwise it would be a lovely space.

    The East Club Level seating inside of NEYLAND Stadium is an excellent space for dining and watching other games before kick-off. It is a shame that the best views of the river and of the Hill have been taken over and blocked off from the patrons who so graciously pay each year for the use of the space. When the club level first opened, patrons had a wonderful view of the Hill and of the Tennessee River at either end of the East Club level. It would be nice if the athletic department would return those spaces back to the patrons for viewing. Follow me on Yelp to find out more about the best places to eat and drink in Knoxville.

    Zoë's first Vols game!

    Enjoy my "pauper's guide to Neyland." A couple decades of enjoying the Vols without touching the nest egg. We'll use this handy-dandy decision matrix to plan the experience. Decision matrix #1: spring for that 50 yard line seat, nosebleed, or happy medium. Answer, what do you think since I'm writing the "pauper's guide" not the "pauper who just hit the lotto's guide". We'll go with the online ticket app aftermarket for a safe bet, but also you can find some good scalped choices all over. Like that one time we scored YY seats "in the dry" $20/pair, or the free tickets for Vandy, or $15/ea this year. This is about the whole experience, and since it's a good seat everywhere why mortgage the farm? I'm all about the deal, and still kick myself for not taking the free halftime tickets in the rain we passed up for the '98 Arkansas game... ("Oh my goodness he dropped the football...he stumbled and fumbled!") Enough memory lane. Decision matrix #2: You'll need to park unless you're one of those "live on campus" types--so spend $50, spend $10, spend $0? Hmmm okay I'll go with $50 just kidding. We'll need to balance that parking spot price with Griswold planning skills to be first out postgame. Part art, part skill, part maps app, thankfully Fort Sanders is safer than the old days for some $10-15 gems. *Tip: check out Summit Hill Drive for night games to score some FREE road spots. Quick jaunt over some walking bridges will put you at Neyland in about 20 mins which sounds worse than it is. Decision matrix #3: eat inside, before, or after. "I think...both". Hit the Cumberland Ave strip for that exclusive typical college gameday long wait. Or stop 5 mins away for as good as it gets, not on campus. For those inclined to eat inside the hallowed Neyland halls, breaking news: now 68% more beer sales areas! That's right all you stadiums with only 67% more beer spots--we're killing it with 68! Reminiscent of those '68 Vols that went 8-2-1 and other stuff! Okay, better have some carbs with that drink: just know you're *not* getting filet mignon, but for filet mignon prices. Did you expect differently? No worries, just hit that beer location again and check out my food blog amazing.Neyland.food.blogspot for stadium food tips later (no this doesn't exist). Remember, "Pay these prices AND PLEASE PAY NO MORE!" After singing Rocky Top infinity times, watching Prrriiiiiiiiiiiide of the Southland Band! and seeing several Thiiiiiiiiiiirrrrd Dooooownnn stops, you'll hopefully escape with a win (or a no-sir-ree, final score Tennessee 20, Florida 17, pandemonium reigns, if you're a FL sheep). Then enjoy the stroll down Tee Martin Drive postgame. Look for me at Krispy K's with the Big Orange hot light on, blowing those savings on a double duz. Then it's time for the trek back to The ATL--maybe I'll drive this time, but hate to spend that gas money!

    Lovely stadium, spirited fans and SEC football make for a great experience for all sports fans.

    Neyland Stadium and the UT Vols represent to me SEC football in all it's guts and glory! I went to college at a school where football wasn't big and so it is seriously amazing to go to a game here and is something that all football fans should come see. We came for a game against East Tennessee State University (ETSU) so it was not a huge rivalry game and of course the Vols stomped them (I've been told when it is Florida or Georgia they are playing it is so loud at times all you can hear is static). However, the energy was great still and the fans are absolutely so into it. There are some pros/cons of this experience: Pros: -The Vol Walk is where fans line up on the streets surrounding Neyland Stadium and they have the marching band and the football players walk by into the stadium. Great for little kids who are excited to see the big football players -Concessions were good. They sell souvenir collectible cups that we got with our drinks and we tried their buffalo chicken/fries and their chili which was all good -Staff were friendly and efficient -The fan experience is so much fun. From singing Rocky Top in a sea of orange to watching the marching band at halftime and the dog Smoky it is a blast Cons: -Stadium has very little shade. Wear sunscreen! -Bleachers are uncomfortable but to be expected at any football stadium. They really pack people in like sardines -Parking can be a bit hard to navigate as there are so many lots and people tailgating everywhere Overall, just an amazing experience. The stadium holds 100,000+ fans and accommodates everyone with a well-organized and planned staff and venue.

    Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Vols! Seating more than 102,000 orange clad fans, Neyland is a true on campus stadium with one of the best atmospheres in college football! Former home of Peyton Manning, this iconic stadium is worth the visit!

    Football field from the Tennessee Terrace section 3, row E, seat 9.

    I was at the stadium today and realized I'd never reviewed it! Better late than never I guess. I really like this stadium as it's easy to get around and is always clean at the start of a game. People leave this place a pig sty so kudos to the clean up crew! I've sat in the nosebleeds, in a suite, in the Terrace, behind the goal posts, under the overhang... everywhere really.. and I don't think there is a bad seat. My preference is to sit where I can see the Jumbotron but honestly you can see the field great from anywhere. If you get season tickets there are also quite a few perks, and the donation varies depending on location so there is something affordable for everyone. Parking is a bear so always get there a few hours early if you hope to not walk for miles. Also, try the Smokey Dog cause it's yummy.

    Great place for a game. Atmosphere is unmatched. Stadium has a classic feel to it that old school football fans will love. Before the game you should eat at Calhouns by the river then walk along the sidewalk and check out the Vol Navy on your way to the stadium.

    Go Vols. Made my way here about 10 times and now I try to go to a game at least once a year. Hopefully will buy season tickets one day.
