What's Changing?

North Lot Parking.
                - $10 per car with the option for each car to purchase one additional space for $20.
                - Tailgating is still the same and fans who purchase one space are welcome to tailgate in front of      
                or behind their vehicles.
                - Blocking off extra spaces will not be an option, so large groups will need to coordinate their
                arrival or contact Brent McMillian (423-425-5723 – brent-mcmillian@utc.edu) for more   
                information on spaces in the Pavilion.
