45 College Stadiums with the Most Electric Game-Day Atmosphere

6. Neyland Stadium – Tennessee

Sitting along the banks of the Tennessee River, Neyland Stadium is one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring venues in college football. With a staggering capacity of over 101,000, the stadium is a fortress of orange and white, where Vol Nation creates an electrifying game-day atmosphere that overwhelms visiting teams. The energy starts long before kickoff, as thousands of Tennessee fans arrive in a truly unique way—by boat. This tradition, known as the "Vol Navy," sees hundreds of boats docked along the river outside Neyland Stadium, turning the water into a floating tailgate party. The vibrant orange-clad fans create an unbeatable pre-game scene, filled with music, BBQ, and the unmistakable excitement that comes with game day in Knoxville.
