About Neyland Stadium

Neyland Stadium is the University of Tennessee’s football stadium beside the Tennessee River on the Knoxville campus. Tennessee Volunteers football plays on Shields-Watkins Field within a stadium whose published capacity is 101,915. The building is both an athletic venue and a major campus landmark. A visit involves more than finding a seat: traffic restrictions, reserved parking and pedestrian movements across campus are central parts of football game day.

Plan Your Visit to Neyland Stadium

How do I find the correct section and entrance?

Football tickets identify a section, row and seat. The seating bowl includes lower and upper areas as well as premium spaces, and the stadium’s gate map provides the appropriate approach. Read your gate and section before joining an entrance queue; reaching the building is only the first part of finding your seat.

Can I drive straight to the stadium?

Lots surrounding Neyland Stadium are reserved for game-day parking pass holders. Tennessee Athletics advises fans without a pass to avoid the campus corridor and consider downtown parking or KAT shuttle options. Do not assume an ordinary campus space is available just because it appears on a weekday map.

Use the current university parking resources for the particular game. Traffic controls and walking routes respond to game-day demand, and a parking pass can have its own entry instructions. Choose a meeting location outside the stadium as well as a location inside if your group separates.

Who handles accessible seating and entry?

Accessible seating questions go to the UT ticket office at 865-656-1200. The current football guide identifies accessible elevator entrances at Gates 4, 21 and 26. Confirm the route that serves your actual seat before arrival, particularly if you are using a parking or shuttle service.

What can I carry through security?

Permitted bags include one clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear resealable bag, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Bags and other belongings may be searched. Restricted items cannot be stored at the gates.

Medical necessities are screened at entry. Diaper bags are not treated as medical bags; supplies should be carried in a permitted clear bag. Check the game’s current prohibited-items instructions before leaving for campus.

What should I prepare before game day?

Download digital tickets and parking passes to the appropriate mobile wallet before leaving home, and charge your phone. Everyone needs a ticket regardless of age. This is particularly useful at a large stadium where network demand and gate queues can make last-minute account access inconvenient.

The football guide lists fan-information centers inside Gates 21 and 9 and first-aid stations on lower and upper concourses. Ask the nearest usher or medical team for help instead of crossing the stadium in search of assistance.
