Personal Tour of Neyland

[SmokeyLives]

My wife arranged this for my birthday last week. It's available through the athletic dept. and I highly recommend it!

 

[SmokeyLives]

Locker room complex is awesome.

 

[SmokeyLives]

More locker room.

 

[SmokeyLives]

From the locker room to the field-awesome!

 

[livefaith]

Did they still have the "Opportunity is Nowhere" doors?

JK, sounds fun.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Thats awesome, sounds like you got a good one!

 

[VolsnRavens]

Did they still have the "Opportunity is Nowhere" doors?

To me, that was just a sign of how Dooley ran this program. Never any quality control there Rommel. :crazy:

 

[Special Ed]

Is there a group discount?

 

[RICK0380]

When Dooley was there right after the Buffalo game myself and about 6 kids snuck into the locker room. No security or Nothing. It was pretty ridiculous that it happened, but it was awesome

 

[SmokeyLives]

Wall from locker room to the field.

 

[SmokeyLives]

Another....

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

That would make a nice birthday present. I might be tossing up some hints to my hubby regarding my birthday.

 

[YankeeVol]

Awesome

 

[DocVOLiday]

Is there a group discount?

Yea, is it expensive?

 

[SmokeyLives]

$8/person I believe. Lasts about an hour and a half. Coincidentally, Dave Hart was leading a meeting in a conference room off of the main hallway to the field, clearly visible through huge windows.

Also, that locker room is only used on home game days and is never entered otherwise. The recruiting facilities for recruits and family are just incredible, with all the accolades, maxims, pictures and effects that bring the many traditions of Vols football to life. The lockers are filled with jerseys from Manning, Gault, Majors, White, basically representing players from all eras. For an obsessed fan like me, it brought chills!

 

[SmokeyLives]

Phenomenal photo boards.

 

[SmokeyLives]

One more.....

[Boca Vol]

They could at least have gotten the facemask correct on the helmet.

[Big Ugly Vol]

The opportunity is nowhere doors were going into the lockers beside the old weightroom going off the indoor practice field, think. At least that's where I saw them.

 

[VOLFAN_JD]

Was you able to tour the new weight room facility also?

 

[Wylo]

They could at least have gotten the facemask correct on the helmet.

if you wanna be technical, it's the wrong type of helmet altogether.

We did too. I loved the part where Dooley told the team ”As long as I'm the coach at UT, we'll never lose to Buffalo". A powerful moment.
