Nope, on that corner, it's a lot with no trees and no stone wall.

Looks like whoever took it just flipped the other side of the street. Looks great, tho.

This. Hopefully someone at UT will decide to make it look more like this picture though. That staff lot there is a massive eyesore right in the middle of campus like that.

From another thread a student got the following information.

Items already completed include sod around the ampitheatre, trees, lights, etc.

1. Wednesday, they will put up the Shields Watkins Field Sign below the Neyland Stadium Sign.
2. They will also put up a lit power T above the Neyland Stadium sign.
3. The pedestal looking think in front of the ampitheatre is a light tower. According to the construction man, there will be a 16 foot orb or globe on top of it with a bright light in the middle. It is not a radio tower. I know it sounds crazy, but that is what he said.
4. The curved walls by the pedestal are only to cover the large transformers for the light tower. The call in show will be broadcast from the concrete steps on the opposite side of the light tower in front of the ampitheatre.
5. The entrance will still be used as a bus stop both during games and throughout the school year.
6. Flags will be hung from the gate 21 entrance presumably for championship years.
7. Eventually there will be similar (but not as large) plazas on all four corners of the stadium. This will begin two years from now at gate 10 (the ramp will be taken away and elevators put in).

I can't wait to get some daily updated pics of all this work yet to be done!

This would offset lots of commuter parking in the Neyland garage. Those students would have nowhere to park

It'd be nice if we could replace the lot with an aesthetically pleasing parking garage with shops, restaurants, or classrooms on the bottom. Something like this:

I believe nothing like that could happen until they add parking somewhere else first. They would need to account for the lost spots before they could tear out all of that lot to build on top of it

Didn't see it mentioned in this thread, but there are plans to add a similar parking feature as part of the 25 year UT Master plan. It is also supposed to act as the campus hub for KAT.

I agree that they will have to add other parking elsewhere first to be able to accommodate the construction.

They've put up a "Home of the Vols" sign on the grand entrance. I'll try and take a picture later. Got class until 6:20
