Question for the ones who have been recently. Where can you meet the players and coaches? Are you allowed on the field and if so what time?. We have our tickets and can get there anytime. Just don't want to miss the opportunity to meet players.

meeting players and coaches usually happens before or after the game

No one is allowed on the field to my knowledge but those who are a part of the program or have special interest

I remember going down onto the field so vividly as a young boy. It's a shame they did away with it but I guess they have their reasons.

88 - got a football signed by Reggie Cobb, Keith Delong, Coach Majors, and many others
93 - Meeting Heath Shuler and getting his autograph
97 - standing in line for hours to meet Peyton and get his autograph and also meeting Leonard Little and Coach Fulmer and Cutcliffe

I might be wrong, but I believe the last time we were allowed on the field was around 2013. I remember getting pics of my son in the endzone and him having AJ Johnson sign his football as, AJ "The beast " Johnson.

Not a lot of information this year. No mention of meet and greet or if one is being held, no mention of who the live bands will be. No mention of Vol walk, etc. And I'm still confused on the tickets listed as sections GA55,GA56,GA57. It's always been open seating and that's throwing me off. Don't want to get stuck in the nose bleeds.

Dont know anything about seats other than the south end of the stadium is closed off for renovations

Here’s the press release for the festival prior to kickoff

I do wish UT was a little more open to the fans. I was stationed at Fort Lewis 3 years ago in the spring and drove down to the Oregon spring game just to see the stadium. It was crazy relaxed. Marcus Mariota was there just mingling with the crowd signing autographs. Of course, there was weed everywhere, it is legal there, so maybe that is why they were so chill.

It seems some other SEC schools already are showing scheduled on comcast . Hope vols are on replay on regular SEC network as I can’t be at game.

they will not be doing autograph or meets with players on the field. No more fan time.

Best chance to see players is post game as they leave headed back to dorms.

What gate do they come out of?
Click to expand...

normally gate 21. Out of the locker room and right turn to 21. Some might walk through stadium and leave by the south end.

if they come out of 21 catch them is in parking lot 9 which is on corner of Manning Pass and Fulmer Way. They sometimes head to the football complex which means they could cut through lot G5. I Parked in both lots over the years (no longer go to games) and after games spent a lot of time visiting with coaches and players in both places. Coaches always stopped by for a post game drink. Some players come out really quickly. Coaches and many players are 30-60 minutes after games. O&W they likely much quicker.

Hope that helps.

What's your all's best guess on when you would need to get there to get a spot in the top of G10? Goimg to take the boys and some friends and am trying to figure out the best place to park.
