I think the parking and building might still be there but Krystal’s closed. McD is still open. Wendy’s is closed. First Tennessee banknis gone. Longbranch is now called leaderboards

Also, skip Tupelo Honey, it’s pricey with long waits and not really all that good. Myrtles Chicken and Beer is good, sweet Ps bbq, Copper Cellar but go downstairs, the atmosphere at Calhoun’s on the river is legit, downtown grill and brewery is a good atmosphere as well and has decent prices, Stock and Barrel has good food according to most but is pricey for burgers, see the band go into the stadium is a must then go in for the pregame which usually starts 15 min prior to kickoff.

Any idea with a noon kickoff, when the band goes into the stadium?

Stop by Gus’s Good Times Deli. You’ll thank me later

Don't go into Gus's drunk, He makes up what you owe at the cash register and suddenly your food is more expensive if you are inebriated. (That's what my student son tells me). Might be different on game day.

The Vol Walk normally starts two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. The Vol Walk starts on Volunteer Blvd at Circle Park. It proceeds down Peyton Manning Pass and then goes left onto Phillip Fulmer Way and goes to Gate 21A of Neyland stadium.

Right behind the Tennessee Bench, right in the middle of Vol Nation. It'll be fine.

Y10 is in the North end zone - depends on how high up your seats are as to the quality of the view.

And - will also suggest Gus' Good Times Deli - the best steamed sandwich around (Firehouse's is a poor substitute)

My friend and I are coming down for the game. It is something we have been doing since 1968, Back in the old days we would park at the old bus station on Gay St. and walk. Now we are parking on 17th St. way down under the overpass, We always make 3-5 games per year. This year he has a bum knee and is looking forward to knee replacement and cannot walk very far. Where is the best place to catch transport to and from stadium. Thanks I advance.

Leaderboards is nice. Longbranch might have been the most disgusting bar I have ever been in.

I began buying beer at Gus’s the day I arrived on campus. That may have been where we got beer during summer orientation. I was there hammered plenty, one late night I passed out on the table for a couple of hours and he just let me be.

I'd come prepared to walk quite a bit. I personally prefer eating in market square , walking the river to the stadium and taking in the vol walk each game.

Wear orange. Buy some overpriced stadium food. Have fun

All good advice, I would only add, be prepared for ANY kind of weather, from downpour to hot sun.

Park at the civic auditorium and rise a bus/van 10$ per person. The walk from the stop to stadium is from cumberland at Fulmer way and about 1/2 mike to gate 21. I have seen busses that get closer so if he has a disabled tag he might be able to use one of those. Another option would be joyride, a gas golf cart ride share. It’s expensive on game day but worth it if you can’t walk that far. Hope this helps
