We're going to the Tennessee game, but parking seems to be very expensive. Any suggestions / insider tips?

Thanks and Gig 'em!

Seems to be 2 free parking garages in downtown Knoxville.
State street and market square, I haven't been to a game yet in Knoxville, but will be this time around. I think the walk won't be too bad to the game if free parking is really what you are looking for.

I saw there are some shuttle bus options as well. I expect we'll try to utilize those.

My daughter went to school in Knoxville. We always tried to stay at the two closest hotels (Four Points and the Hampton which is now something else-university collection?) and walk. Parking sucks, just like every other 100k plus stadium.

$34.80 to park at the Garage at 200 Main in downtown Knoxville.

They have cars in Knoxville?

I find that if you aren't staying within walking distance, then you shouldn't skimp on parking. Pick a lot that works well logistically then pay the market price. If you go hunting a bargain, you are likely to get what you pay for.

See if you can commandeer a boat from the Vol Navy.

I was fortunate enough to get a chance to ride down the river to the Georgia game in 2017. Pretty cool experience.

You're paying $$$ to go to the game and are bothered by $35 for parking? That's probably the cheapest thing you'll do the whole trip.

Not at all. I was looking at the on-campus parking, which starts at $200+ on VolNation.

Due to that post, I got the $35 parking 1mi away. Thanks to @mike073 for that info!

We're set…thanks all!

Tyson Junior High School is by far the best option.

It's an office building now, not a school anymore. Reasonable price(like $20-25) with a free shuttle, and also not the worst walk if you need to.

Also, your car will be safe. A lot of the restaurants closer to campus that charge $40-50 will stuff in as many cars as humanly possible, and some will make you leave keys because they block people in.

You make a reservation somehow? I'm interested also.

ParkWhiz app. As a location, type in Neyland Stadium, pick the Aggie game on 10/14, and pick the Riverview Garage on Main.

Hope this helps!

Ironically, I went to the Farmer's Market this past Saturday at Knoxville's Market Square. UT played UTSA later that day. While parking in the adjacent garage is tight, we got a spot. It's a bit of a walk, but parking is free.

Not to derail, but how harsh is parking at jerryworld with a parking pass?

Was fairly reasonable through the 12th Man link, but now that it's SeatGeek, it's pretty steep.

Look on SeatGeek. I booked two spots on there. One for the tailgate and one to actually in.

$30 for 24 hour valet at the Hyatt via Spot Hero-- not staying there. 20 minute walk to the stadium.

Booked 24 hours in the event we win, we go out to celebrate, and not in the state to drive back to Nashville.
