Allrighty....just got my tickets tonight and will be lower level Z12. I have never been and just wondering who is going and where is everybody going to be tailgating. I will be driving up in the a.m. from chattanooga with my brother.
I'll be there. Going to make the "tough" 20 minute ride in for the game! Probably going to be just west of the stadium just above thompson boling arena (B-ball) near administration building.
Without a pass you can forget parking on campus. I would suggest parking either downtown or near the Civic Coliseum, which is near the downtown Marriott [former Hyatt]. I would then take a bus to the stadium. Free parking and minimal bus fee. Get there early as there is plenty to do on campus and Cumberland Ave. [the strip].
I went to Tennessee in 2001 :bncry: . As far as I could tell tailgating to them means sitting in a restaurant on the river. We went to one called Calhouns on the River and it was pretty cool. ALOT of people in that area on gameday. I was driving a Ford Windstar because we had a few people with us and all I can say is it wasn't built for Tennessee hills. I managed to park on campus on what felt like a 90 degree incline. P.S. The stadium fits over 100,000 but can't be bigger than TS. Sardines anyone?
I don't have tickets yet but I'll be there. We're gonna be camping for three days at Smokey Mountains National Park, anybody up for marshmallows?
Will actually be camping near Murphy, NC this coming weekend. Will take full advantage of the bye week. Have a bunch of Va Tech buddies im going with and they are stoked that im bringing 2 bushels of oysters to roast on Sat. night.
