Big Orange Tailgate Tour

Click here for the latest Big Orange Tailgate Tour News »

The Big Orange Tailgate Tour, hosted by the UT Alumni Association is THE place to be before all Tennessee Vols away football games, SEC championships and tournaments and NCAA tournaments! Every stop will have food, fun, and Rocky Top!  Anyone in orange is welcome to join us in the pre-game festivities -- alumni, fans, and friends of The University of Tennessee.

Come join your fellow orange-clad friends, and enjoy the UT Pep Band, Smokey, door prizes, games, Vol trivia, tailgate style food, a DJ spinning tunes, and much more. What better place to be before a Vol Victory than with fans just like yourself. We welcome (and encourage) pre-registrants and will also have some space available for walk-ups at the events the day of the game. The Big Orange Tailgate Tour is open to all whether a meal is purchased or just drop by to hear the Pep Band.

“My wife and I have always had fun at the tailgate parties, and they are the highlight of our travel to away games.” -- Stephen Prinz

“You can not beat the value, enthusiasm and comradarie of a BOTT!  I’ve been to BOTT for both football and Lady Vols, and both are exceptional.”  -- Ginger Groce

“Whenever we travel with the Vols, we attend the BOTT.  It’s the best way to start a Big Orange road trip; more fans, more spirit, and more orange.  What more could a fan ask for?”  -- Gordon Karns
