Things to Do

The first thing you're going to want to do while attending UTK is to head down to cheer on your fellow Volunteers at a football game. Neyland Stadium bleeds orange and white on game days and the crowd is insane. You would most definitely be missing out on something great if you didn't attend a game during your time at Tennessee.
