KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee football will culminate its spring with the 2024 Orange & White Game at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 13 in Neyland Stadium, which will be at a significantly limited capacity of approximately 10,000 fans due to construction.
Construction continues on the stadium’s south end, west side and upper north end as part of the historic Neyland Stadium renovation project.
