RV parking at Neyland Stadium: questions
Is there public RV parking at Neyland Stadium?
Not on campus. The university keeps campus RV parking for donors holding a permit, and its gameday page says the City of Knoxville's RV parking options are sold out for the football season. utsports.com
How do donors get an RV spot?
Eligible season-ticket holders request RV or motorhome parking instead of a regular car pass. Requests are filled in Tennessee Fund donor-rank order, and the department warns that demand can outrun the spaces. utsports.com
What does it take to be eligible?
Anyone asking for parking needs at least $100 in Football Priority Fund contributions or a $100 My All donation, and for 2026 the donor rank used in selection was locked on May 1. utsports.com
Can you tailgate overnight?
No. Tailgating is allowed in designated campus areas before, during and after home games, but it stops for the night. utsports.com
What does the university suggest without a parking pass?
Every lot around the stadium is for pass holders on game day, so fans without one are pointed away from the campus corridor, toward the downtown area or the KAT shuttle options. utsports.com
What happens to a rig parked in the wrong place?
It is towed at the owner's expense; towed vehicles are claimed by calling Parking & Transportation Services at 865-974-3588 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or until kickoff if that comes first, to book a pickup time. utsports.com
