FYI..I wouldn't recommend B-level unless you don't mind pillars. The seats are situated under a mid-tier canopy supported by hefty old-school steel pillars that can be annoying depending on the angle. You need to choose wisely and watch for the 'obstructed view' notice. If you have never been there it's hard to describe how they are situated but I would keep that in mind. If you do decide to bite, avoid the areas diagonal to the endzone. No explanation is needed as to why you probably don't want to sit there.I’m waiting til thurs to buy tickets. I’m willing to pay $600 pair for decent seats. I’m not siting in nose bleeds - which is “section C.”
So Section “A and B” are better seats.
Don't miss this opportunity---I was at the 98 National Championship game and it was the best game I've ever seen. Second best was when we beat Miami in 85, in New Orleans. I've seen a ton of UT games in person but now I just watch them on my TV.Vulnerability time. I’ve been a die-hard UT fan since I was 8 or 9. My whole family bleeds orange, so I was born into it. Cut my teeth as a fan during the Fulmerian decline and then suffered through the dark years. I can remember ho-hum (from my perspective) wins against Shula’s Alabama teams, sweating bullets before UF and UGA games, the Wilhoit kick, the frustration of two losses to Cadillac Williams in one year, the agony of 2010 LSU, and the glory of the Dobbs nail boot. I went from scouring the News Sentinel on Sundays to scouring VN with embarrassing frequency for many periods over the last 15 years (used to have another account I lost the password to).
Despite my longstanding fandom, I’ve never been to a UT game outside of the O&W game one year when I was ten or so, and working concessions in the upper deck for a Bama game for a high school fundraiser. I have never taken in an actual Vols game in person. Parents weren’t big on going to…well really anything with crowds, and I moved out of state pretty early on in my young adult years.
Been in Ohio for just over half of the past decade, so this is the non-conference matchup I’ve been craving more than any other. To see the Big Orange—my Vols—in the Horseshoe, in Columbus, the first place I lived outside the Knoxville metro, would be pretty special. Like many of us, dropping Christmas gift money on tickets just isn’t an option. I’ve been waiting with bated breath to see if they’ll go low enough for me to justify it to myself. We shall see. I’ll make it to a game in Neyland someday though, even if it’s just East Popcorn State.
Appreciate you posting this. Neyland has a few of these views as well.FYI..I wouldn't recommend B-level unless you don't mind pillars.

And to anyone else, be very careful of seats in 11C upper portion. These are not stairs. They are bleacher seats.

Thanks for the info. I will keep looking and post over next few days. Any feedback appreciated. I definitely don’t want a dam$ pillar obstructing my view. Plus i want to see JumbotronFYI..I wouldn't recommend B-level unless you don't mind pillars.

You can get early season cupcake tickets for $20 or even free on gameday.Vulnerability time. I’ve been a die-hard UT fan since I was 8 or 9. My whole family bleeds orange, so I was born into it.
