Perched beside the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Volunteers, is an iconic structure that has grown organically since 1921. Its unique feature, the "Vol Navy," a flotilla of boats docking nearby on game days, adds to its distinct charm. Named for General Robert Neyland, the architect of much of Tennessee's football success, the stadium is renowned for its checkerboard end zones and the passionate sea of orange. It's a testament to regional pride and decades of SEC football history, echoing with "Rocky Top."
