Just wanted to stop by and say my crew and I had a great time in Knoxville last week. A win would've been terrific, but the atmosphere in the stadium, at the tailgate (we scored a G5/30 parking pass) and around campus was great. We got to check out Thompson-Bolling on Friday (the last rows of...

Enjoy the trip, PhillyVol! Perhaps our crews will cross paths down there.

Thanks!

Thanks. If we parked in one if the garages, where should we look to tailgate? Just walk towards the stadium until we find some good spots?

Is that garage open to the public and can you tailgate in/around the garage?

Thanks again, ATC!

Exit 398, and I was joking about my concern for the location. We weren't looking for luxury by any means.

Great, of course we're staying east of Knoxville, so I assume that's East Knoxville even though the address says Knoxville. Haha. We may need that round of beers badly AR! Hope to run into you at Blackhorse.

I'm sure we'll check out the Blackhorse, thanks AR. ATC, other than the semis (which I too have experienced and have read a bunch about), is it an easy drive or do the mountains etc make it tricky?

Thanks Seahawk and ATC. So pumped for this trip. Any particular pluses or minuses for a night game compared to if this was scheduled as a day game? Also, is anyone familiar with driving I-81 to I-40? We'll be leaving from our area at about 10:30pm next Thursday and driving through the night. I'm...

Thanks again. I'll be sure to check the game time when it gets published and probably call Calhoun's to check on opening if it is an early game.

Thanks Spartacavolus and MphsBlues! Calhoun's seems like a pretty easy cab ride from where we're staying. Anxious to see what the game time will be. I'm assuming it'll be announced on Monday, right? Do you guys have any feel for day/night game? Will Calhoun's open early if it is a noon start?

Thanks! The beer garden looks right up our alley for Friday afternoon (weather permitting). Any tailgating suggestions or should we shoot to a place like Calhoun's on the river is we're not planning to be in a parking lot?

Hello Vol Nation: A group of 8-10 of us are coming down for the Bama game with no connection to UT/Knoxville (will be rooting for the Vols to take down the Tide, though). I've read back thru the pinned visitor/tailgating threads, but am not sure if some of the stuff is outdated since there...

I'll piggyback on Mecca's post. Group of guys coming down from PA for the Bama game, no dog in the fight so to speak, but we'll be rooting for the Vols to take down the Tide. I've read back thru the pinned threads, but am not sure if some of the stuff is outdated since there isn't really...
