Build a full Knoxville game day

Before kickoff

Eat local

Use the LocalKnox eateries guide to pick a pregame meal instead of settling for the first crowded chain you see.

Daytime

Explore Knoxville

Turn an evening kickoff into a full day with downtown, World's Fair Park, the riverfront or South Knoxville.

Budget

Keep daytime cheap

Free museums and low-cost local stops can help balance out the cost of tickets and game-day food.
