One of the closest full-service hotels to Neyland Stadium. Super convenient for gameday and downtown exploring.

Upscale and refined, located just off campus with rooftop views of the Sunsphere and downtown. A top choice for alumni and visitors wanting a premium stay.

Classic downtown hotel right next to Market Square. Easy access to restaurants, nightlife, and campus shuttles.

• Get to campus early. Neyland Stadium tailgates stretch across campus, the riverfront, and nearby lots — it’s one of the biggest scenes in the SEC.

• Walk the Tennessee River. Few stadiums sit this close to the water. Boats line the river on gameday — yes, people boat in for games.

• Be inside for the Vol Walk. The team walk through campus is loud, packed, and emotional.

• Learn the words to “Rocky Top.” You will hear it after every big play, touchdown, and sometimes just because. Resistance is futile.

• Checker Neyland games are special. When the stadium turns into a checkerboard of orange and white, it’s one of the coolest visuals in college football.

• Night games are electric. Neyland under the lights is 100,000+ people losing their minds in unison.

Neyland Stadium is located at 411 Woody Hayes Dr, Columbus, OH 43210

The heart of downtown Knoxville — restaurants, shops, live music, and constant energy on fall weekends.

About an hour away. One of the most visited national parks in the country — mountains, waterfalls, and unreal scenery.

Iconic Knoxville landmarks from the 1982 World’s Fair. The Sunsphere offers panoramic city views.
