Literally. The actual seats at Thompson Boling Arena are going to be for sale this summer after the basketball season is over. They have even set up a website at tbaseats.com. A total of 10,000 seats are going to be available for the following prices:
single seat = $126
double seat combinations = $155
four-seat sets = $247
bar stools = $186
This sale should generate over $1 million dollars for Thompson Boling Arena renovations. The old orange seats will be replaced with new black ones.
I think this could be interesting on a couple of levels. First, it would be cool for season ticket holders to be able to request the actual seats (section, row, seat) that they have been sitting in over the years. I wonder if they will allow that?
Second, they should hold some sort of contest to see who can put these seats to the best use. I can already imagine someone putting a couple rows of these things in their bonus room or basement. That could really enhance the experience of watching Tennessee basketball from home. Hmm, how much are these things again?

Will the seats have a plaque or tag showing where they are from date or other information. I would pay extra to get this.

James, I cannot answer that for sure but I would be willing to bet that they will feature some type of tag on the seats. You might try calling the Athletics Department at 865-974-1734.
