Game-day guide: Knoxville venues
Neyland Stadium — Tennessee Volunteers Football (NCAAF)
Neyland Stadium (101,915 seats) is a large open-air stadium in University of Tennessee campus that hosts Tennessee Volunteers Football (NCAAF) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Campus lots and the Vol Navy boat tailgates on the Tennessee River fill early; permit and donor lots ring the stadium with remote shuttle lots beyond. Knoxville and UT game-day shuttles serve the stadium beside the Tennessee River on the Knoxville campus.
Food City Center — Tennessee Volunteers Men's Basketball (NCAAB)
Food City Center (21,678 seats) is a large indoor arena in University of Tennessee campus that hosts Tennessee Volunteers Men's Basketball (NCAAB) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Campus garages and lots near the arena open on game day; remote lots with shuttles serve larger crowds. KAT buses and the UT campus trolley serve the arena from campus and downtown Knoxville.
