Away Game - Knoxville

[BlakeMay]

Anyone making the trip to Knoxville? I live in Tennessee, but come to Texas for more games every year. Now that Texas is in the SEC, the away games are closer. 

I'll be up in Knoxville the night before. If anyone needs recommendations or want to tailgate, let me know!

That's my plan! I live in Charlotte so only a little over a 3-hour drive. Was hoping the game wasn't at noon so likely making the trip Friday night. Can't wait! Was recently there for the Luke Combs concert, great vibe.

Good deal. I'm picking up Sandman (his name on youtube lol) from the airport. I live far west, so almost 6 hour drive for me. My whole family is Tenn grads so I have had a lot of crap talking to back up haha.

First time coming in to Knoxville, first game at Tennessee - can't wait.
Other than tickets, haven't planned out much yet.

I was notified through UT that I received Tenn tickets.  Booked my flights and hotels over the weekend.  I am flying into Nashville on Thurs.  Will drive over to Gatlinburg on Friday. Then drive to Knoxville from Gatling on Saturday.  Any recommendations you can provide on parking areas, time to allow for travel on Sat morning, etc would be great.   We do have a friend who is living in Knoxville (her husband is doing residency at the University of Tennessee) who said we can tailgate with them.

@mcwast - places I've ate that are pretty good. Old Steakhouse, Lonesome Dove, Connors, Tupleo Honey Downtown, Myrtles Chicken and Beer, Calhouns, and Stock and Barrell

 

Lonesome Dove, Tupelo Honey Downtown, Calhouns, and Stock and Barrel are all in walking distance to the stadium. You can park pretty much anywhere downtown if you can find a spot, the earlier the better of course.

Yes they are.

Got a room at the Graduate Hilton which I think puts me in easy walking distance to the game. Any dinner spot recommendations in that area?
