College Gameday Experience

[CantGetRight84]

I’ve never attended a “college gameday” game at neyland before. Been to games over the years, big and small, but just want to know what kind of differences to expect for this gameday game. Headed down with my wife and teenage boys for this one.

How early do I need to get in town for decent parking? (I’m always fine to park far away and walk for the benefits of leaving quickly once back to car)
What time should I be there to be able to be a part of the stuff associated with “college gameday”?
Any additional cost I should be prepared for?
Anything else to expect??

As of right now, I just know for everything to be crowded and hyped up to the max.

GBO!!

I was staying on campus in 04 when we got game day. Getting into the event was simple if you didn’t mind being far back. The people that want to be up front often camp the night before if I’m not mistaken. I’m sure things have changed a lot in 20 yrs.
