Was wanting to take a picture but couldn't find it

I would stay at the Hilton next to market square and just walk the 3 quarters of a mile to the game if you are in good health or take a short drive with maybe 3 turns in total right to the front of the arena.

Crowne Plaza is convenient as well

You're young, stay at the new Hilton on the strip for a good time

I didn't mean that in a bad way lol, I just mean you'll be right there on Cumberland by all the restaurants and bars, and that's where most the students your age will be. The walk from there to TBA isn't bad and depending on your route can see some nice parts of campus.

The rock is at the intersection of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Summitt.

Don't know but do guys think he should go ahead and make a reservation for that game?

So you are saying the Hilton will not be booked with Kentucky coming to town for the first time in two years?

It's possible, although very doubtful, but there's also other hotels on/around the strip, that is what I'm saying :thumbsup:

You have no idea what time the game is, if it's an afternoon game, or even a night game, it's not like Kentucky is 12 hours away. Most of the Kentucky fans that attend are within 2-3 hours of TBA, hotels are rarely full in Knoxville, even for football games which draw 5x the crowd.

Slightly off topic. Do any hotels offer shuttle service to home basketball games and back. Thanks.

Have no knowledge at all about this. Just asking? I usually just drive down and go back home. Don't know if Hilton would be too upscale for OP or not.

Right, you're like most that attend, not staying the night.
