I might get ridiculed for it but the atmospere inside and outside of Tiger Stadium rivals Neyland IMO. Inside is even a little more electric as it seems they don't have a lot of the older fans sitting on their hands like some on the west side of Neyland. I have loved my visits to Tiger Stadium though the fans are quite rough on visitors.

As for LSU's visit this year, LSU ALWAYS travels well just like Tennessee. I have seen LSU play two away games, once in Neyland (2001) and once in Vaught-Hemingway (2005) and it reminds me of Tennessee's traveling fans. They completely took over O' Charley's in 2001.

It is games like this that make Saturday's great. Having a school that travels well come into town is always fun.

If the Vols offense plays like they did against Bama, it will be a huge struggle.......however Russell has been known to help out opposing teams.:p

Whoever has the advantage in turnover margin, penalties, and whoever scores the most points, probably wins this one.

Thanks for the tips. One of the posters mentioned K-Ville is a dry town. Do they not serve hard alcohol in the restaurants or is it beer only? Or no beer at all on campus area? I need clarification. I don't want to be hog-tied by Trooper Taylor! lol

Also, I will definately make my way down close to the wharf area to see the VN boats up close. Especially, if alcohol rules don't apply there. I may barter some of my Bourbon just to have a place to drink!

A few posters mentioned tailgating vs. bar hopping. I will try to do both but the game starts at 2:30PM thanks to CBS. Although, I am happy they are picking up the game in HD, it sucks to play day games. it cuts out the partying time.

Knoxville restaurants are certainly allowed to serve liquor. The only prohibition is that there is supposed to be no alcohol on the actual campus. If you''re not acting like an idiot, that rule is rarely enforced.

If you make your way up the Gate 10 ramp on the SE side of the stadium, you can get some GREAT views of the VN, the river, downtown, tailgating and everything else. :rock:

i've had two certain tailgates that i always attend when in for UT games. I've never been to O'Charley's, or at least what was O'Charley's. But for like the tenth straight week, someone recommends O'Charley's, then someone says especially since it's closed. I'm starting to wonder is where O'Charley's was the place to hang out still or was it O'Charley's the restaurant that was the cool place to be, now it's gone and a lot of people don't realize it?

O'Charley's (not some other name in same spot) was the place everyone's mentioned, but it is def. closed and it is dark (no other tenant in there). Also, someone else mentioned Tennessee Grill as a choice for waterfront (near Calhoun's), but it's closed, too.
