Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium
The University of Tennessee is home to one of the great programs in the Southeastern Conference, and, really, all of college football. Tennessee produced an explosive and exciting brand of football in its first year under head coach Josh Heupel. The Volunteers set eight single-season school records on the offensive side of the ball and ranked top-10 nationally in team tackles for loss. The 2021 Vols orchestrated the nation's "fastest" offense, averaging 2.99 plays per minute while owning the FBS' seventh-best scoring offense at 39.3 points per game.
Tennessee returns eight starters on offense, including four offensive linemen. Defensively, the squad returns seven starters from an attacking unit that ranked second in the SEC and seventh in the FBS for tackles for a loss.
The Tennessee Volunteers have had some of the greatest football players of all time suit up for them, including defensive end Reggie White from 1980 to 1983 and quarterback Peyton Manning from 1994 to 1997 to most recent Derek Barnett, Cordarrelle Patterson and Alvin Kamara. The Vols play in Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, which opened as Shields-Watkins Field in 1921 and has a current capacity of 101,915.
Tennessee Volunteers Football History
The University of Tennessee first fielded a varsity football team in 1891 and became a charter member of the Southeastern Conference in 1932. Robert Neyland was a major architect both literally and figuratively in the Volunteers' success in the 20th century and beyond. A brigadier general during World War II, Neyland coached Tennessee from 1926 to 1934, from 1936 to 1940 and from 1946 to 1952, leading the Vols to four national championships, five SEC championships and two Southern Conference championships. Neyland is not only the namesake of Tennessee's stadium; his input in renovating the field's infrastructure has been the basis for every major phase of renovation since the 1960s.
Johnny Majors was a star at halfback for Tennessee in the '50s, and after leading Pitt to a national championship in 1976, returned to Knoxville as a coach from 1977 to 1992. Phillip Fulmer then went on to lead the Volunteers to a BCS National Championship in 1998, as quarterback Tee Martin and wide receiver Peerless Price helped defeat Florida State 23-16 in the 1999 Fiesta Bowl to cap off an undefeated season. While the Tennessee-Alabama game is not always played on the "Third Saturday of October," the name is synonymous with one of the most storied rivalries in the SEC. Tennessee also has historic rivalries against the University of Kentucky, University of Florida and in-state Southeastern Conference member Vanderbilt.
Hot, Hot, Hot! Which isn't Ticketmaster's fault. The venue was spectacular, good view of the entire field, could see plays develop but was too far away to make out player's numbers. There are plenty of restroom facilities and concession stands. Better bring plenty of $$$$$ because a small bottle of water and a soft pretzel will cost you $9.00.
This game was full of action from beginning to end. Butch Jones & the Volunteers' staff did a great job "selling" their program to the state & especially the Nashville area.
Ticket master was so easy to use and fast! I've used them many times before and will continue in the future! The game was awesome! Can't wait to see what else ticketmaster has to offer!
We had a wonderful time. I got my Tickets, and Parking on time, and no problems with them at all
I thought Tennessee showed great heart with a tough Bowling Green team. They set the tone early and fought through the challenge later to run away in the end. The defense will have to shore up the DB positions if we are to complete with the tougher opponents we face later. Overall great job and keep building "one brick at a time."
Very poor parking options outside of stadium parking. Why did they not have a shuttle service ????. .Need to have game at night... with poor parking options,heat and a weak opponent....... not worth the effort... ALSO TOLD ME I COULD NOT BRING IN MY CASE FOR MY BINOCULARS WHILE WOMEN BROUGHT IN BIG PURSES.....RIDICULOUS !!!
The Game and Tickets were great but the concessions was terrible, Lines and service was the worst I seen at the stadium. The cashier in section was rude and acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. It was the worst.
First off - the Vol Walk was not where it was listed on the Web - not sure why this was moved but that was annoying. Second - make sure you eat before you go into the Stadium - Gourmet Cheeseburger? Give me a break and the price will break you. Then we decided to go for a Petro - ummmm - well they ran out of Chili...so it was a hot dog as an alternative - again - nothing to write home about. Someone said that they ran out of water - but we bought it. Third - my seat had a crack in the plastic - spend some money and repair the seats - you sure could use some concession profits to do this. It was great that the Vols came to Nashville as it was more convenient for us - but Knoxville is where it's at! They have their act together and do College Football well. Titans - not so much - but I betcha they didn't run out of Beer.
not very impressed. waited 20 mins in consession stand line before 2nd quarter was over. stand ran out of food and souvenier cups. there wasnt very many people in line when i got in line. also, worker at stand even said they were not very organized. paid for 4 hours of parking and recieved parking ticket when event ran long due to weather. spent good money to be disappointed.
The game was way too long, and the lightning delay was absurd. I saw no lightning and I don't believe there was any. And the people in front of us kept standing up like a Jack-in-the Box !! Keep your ass in your seat where it belongs !! Seems like people have nothing better to do than spend 5 hours watching dumb SEC game that was televised and the Commercials took way too much time !!!
Great seats at a great venue!! If you have a chance to attend a game in Nashville I highly recommend this stadium.
We loved our seats! We love being up close to the field and hearing ask the sounds. The pricewas good and the stadium was nice . The only drawback was, when I purchased the tickets, your site said we would be on the UT sideline. That was not the case. I understand things change, but it was a disappointment. The plus side of it though was we had the pleasure of watching Bowling Green's sideline get heckled all game by the guys in front of us. Write comical!
Great experience overall. 80 minute lightening delay was the only negative issue.
The game was amazing with all the ORANGE in the stands. The most impressive thing was the military flyover and introducing the flight crew - of course their "reveal" of the T shirt. I was not impressed with the stadium, as Neyland is much better. There was only one ramp and the elevators to get to the upper deck. The parking lot was poorly marked and the folks directing traffic in weren't doing a very good job. I guess UTK just has me spoiled. I would go again if UT plays in Nashville.
The stadium venue was perfect for a sporting event or concert
Fun game to attend, the weather wasn't very cooperative but I liked my seats and the final score.
Very good seats and a very entertaining football game.
Although I thought our pass defense could look better, overall I enjoyed the game. On the other hand, Nissan stadium is horrible. From them not being able to get the traffic flow down, to the beer kegs were broken, to the concession stands being out of everything. If I was Nissan, I wouldn't want my name attached to this place!!!
