Neyland Stadium
Shields-Watkins Field
One of my favorite boyhood memories is the sound of the roar rising from Neyland Stadium on a big third down play! Remember when the University would invite 4H Clubs from all over the state to the annual game with Chattanooga?
The armada of orange-clad vehicles on the way to the game. The meeting with old friends. The tailgate. The bus ride. The walk down Peyton Manning Pass and into the stadium. The blue sky and 106,650 fans. The crowd cheering every movement of the band. The run through the big "T". The game. The post game dinner. The visit with parents and family. The ride back home.
A great time is had by all thanks to "football"!

UT'S COLORS?

Why are UT's colors orange and white? Where did UT get their particular shade of pale orange? The story goes that back in the days when the stadium was open on the end, the hill with Ayers Hall on top was covered with spectacular orange and white Daisies in full view of the fans. They decided to take orange and white for the school colors. The pale center of the Daisy became their orange and the white of the petals became their white.
