America's 50 Most Legendary Stadiums In Every State

42. Tennessee – Neyland Stadium (Capacity: 101,915)

Neyland Stadium in Knoxville epitomizes the grand scale and rich tradition of SEC football at the University of Tennessee. Accommodating about 101,915 spectators, it opened in 1921 and has gradually grown into one of the country’s largest stadiums. Draped in orange and white, the environment crackles with energy—especially when the Vols run through the iconic “Power T” formed by the Pride of the Southland Band. The stadium’s horseshoe design with towering decks packs fans in tightly, creating a roar that resonates along the Tennessee River. Adding to the spectacle is the Vol Navy, where boatloads of fans arrive by water and tailgate on the nearby docks. Over the years, improvements brought modern suites, enhanced concourses, and advanced lighting that amplifies night games. Still, the stadium’s soul remains anchored in the traditions coined by General Robert Neyland, who shaped the program’s identity. For generations of Tennesseans, Neyland Stadium is a second home come autumn.
