Yeah, go to the Bama game.
Don't buy tickets for the visitors sections, just to be with other Tiger fans. Not worth it. Seats were 6the inches wide.
Cross the river to get nice pics of the stadium .
Check out the boats, if that floats yours.
If you stop and tailgate from your vehicle, be prepared to hear every possible version of Rocky Top blared from other peoples PA systems. All Day.

I am unsure how large of a person you are, but no matter, I would suggest losing 35-40 pounds before getting to the game so you "might" be able to fit in a seat

Going for the first time also. Would love to get some serious answers but not expecting much.

First. Tennessee is doing a " orange out" so bring sunglasses...Now on to seriousness. It depends on if you want to stay in knoxville all day or not. Ive suggested to many people on here it would be better to stay is Gatlinburg, spend time there. Then go to the game. But im not sure you would have time for that if you didnt stay in gatlinburg then drive to the game.

Neyland is the most disappointing stadium in sec, def golf crowd but def one of the most scenic and beautiful backdrops

Tennessee has been my favorite road trip so far. If I weren't going to Dallas, I'd definitely be heading to Tennessee.
Calhouns by the River will likely be packed with purple and gold all day Saturday.

yea, starve yourself starting now until after the game. Also practice sitting at an angle at your desk or home hunched over and for good measure have a co-worker or family member come sit behind you for an hour at a time or so with their knees in your back. Worst stadium in America. Its 106,000 seats crammed into a 72,000 seat stadium.

Trying to stay in Gatlinburg and drive to the game would be a freaking nightmare. If you have time you may want to go to Gatlinburg and drive through Cades Cove or play some Hillbilly Golf. If you are wanting to chill around Knoxville go to the Old City and have some drinks. Also check out Fort Sanders Yacht Club LINK / How old are you and what do you like to do ? If you are young and want to stay wasted stay on the Cumberland AVE Strip. If you want a good steak go to Ye Olde Steakhouse. For a pretty good pizza go to Tomato Head. Make sure you go down to the Candy Factory and get some stuff. That is pretty much on campus. Barley's in the Old City is a pretty cool place.

Don't remember much about the trip in 2001, I was drunk for a majority of the trip. ENJOY!

The most uncomfortable place to watch a game in America. They literally shove 35 people on a row that should seat 25. It's a nice trip for the natural scenery in the area. As far as the game day experience and atmosphere.....average.
