Despite being one of the largest college football stadiums in the country, Neyland Stadium does a great job separating itself from the traditional mega-sized football venues. Unlike most large stadiums, the second deck hangs over the lower level and brings the cheap seats closer to the field. Additionally, the well-placed concourses assure that fans don't have to stray too far from their seats to track down amenities.
Overhanging Second Deck
Some of our favorite seats at Neyland Stadium are those in sections AA-FF and the Tennessee Terrace. The front rows of these sections hang over about 15 rows of the lower level, which makes them much closer to the field than fans expect. Consider the first 12 rows of sections AA-FF or rows A-G in the Terrace sections for outstanding views and to be just below the section entrance. Just keep in mind that section AA-FF are on the sunny side of the field and will be among the last seats to be shaded.
Although the front rows of these preferred sections aren't under cover, they do create coverage for the sections below. Nearly all lower level sections have at least ten rows of covered seating. When looking at tickets in these covered sections, know that the last 5-7 rows are tucked deeply under the overhang and may limit your view of some plays and of the videoboard. We recommend rows 34-50 in sections R-W and rows 34-60 in sections A-F for the best overall experience.
Easy Concourse Access
Another impressive aspect of Neyland Stadium is the generous placement of the section tunnels. Some of the country's larger stadiums force you to enter sections at the bottom or top row and then make you traverse 50 or more rows to your seats. Want to grab a snack or drink? It might end up costing you half a quarter.
Most entrances at Neyland are in a middle row, which makes it easy to get to and from the concourse. Many lower level sections also have an entrance near the top row to make trips even shorter. While these tunnels won't improve your view (in many cases fans crowd the tunnel and block the view of fans nearby), their ease of access will get you back to your seat faster so you don't miss much of the game.
