Tennessee
Stadium|Pregame|Atmosphere

Where the real pregame happens. Bars, lots, and traditions that define Tennessee Volunteers Saturdays.

Tennessee tailgating is vibrant and passionate—Vol Nation energy with grills, games, and orange everywhere across campus lots and Circle Park.

Prime Spots: Circle Park (surrounding the stadium)—prime tailgating area with free/first-come spots. Lots open early; many fans set up the night before or early morning.
Reserved Options: Book premium via REVELxp (official partner) for tents, catering, electricity in designated areas.
Nearby Bars for Pre/Post-Game: Downtown Knoxville—Market Square spots like Boyd's Jig & Reel, or The Hill (student area) for watch parties/drinks. Walk or shuttle from tailgate areas.
PRO TIP
Stake out your tailgate spot 3 hours before kickoff — the best lots fill fast.
