Badgett Field is located in North Knoxville off Western Avenue near Victor Ashe Park. The complex even has a sand volleyball pit. Out door seating and a service kitchen, Dog8 Grill and Snack bar. The Dog8 Grill and Snack bar has an alternating menu offering gourmet food and beers by the can. The fields are decently maintained and the staff is friendly and easy to work with. The restrooms are decent and clean (considering it's a out door sports complex).

So many events take place in this older, but huge arena. Last night, my family went to a Lady Vols…read morebasketball game (where they whomped UT Chattanooga!). We wandered around for about 30 minutes prior to the game trying to find a ticket booth that was open. Once we found our way inside, the space was clean and easy to navigate with many friendly staff. Likely due to the holidays and many student workers being out of town, the usual experience was greatly pared down with no band, dance team, halftime show, etc. We still had an amazing time! The music consisted of all of my 90's/early 00's jams and lots of fan interaction with the MC and Smokey the mascot. There are suites available and the seats in the "normal humans" sections are padded and comfy, all with pretty decent views. There are areas to purchase UT gear and an abundance of concessions to be nom'd (Papa John's, Petro's, snocones, pretzels, etc. You can use credit cards and prices seem pretty typical. They event have $1 large popcorn which was great, but a bottle of water was $4. ha! Don't forget to bring approved, clear bags when you go to the arena (or any of the large university venues/events).

Knox County Sportspark is the cleanest park and outdoor fun area on the planet…read more I love going to the park with my two son's each week. Because I have pet allergies, I can't go to every park that has dogs and pets. There is only one park on this planet, where I can go without having to take allergy shots and an overdose of allergy medication. I love walking the amazing clean and safe walking track and trail. Northwest Sports Complex is like a golf course without the golf with a playground and pavilion area. This is the most beautiful and pet free park in the world, and I love this place!

Great Haunted House Fun!…read more This is a really great haunted house! We like it so much we drive 2 hours each way to go a few times in a night. We actually made it 7 times through the attraction last night! FYI: Get season passes you so you can go more than once AND enjoy the Christmas haunted house and other holiday haunted houses. I think it's 5-6 times a year! We opted for fast passes too since we like to go more than once! This crew does a really good job with some great actors putting in good effort and taking time outside for photo ops while you are waiting. Screw Hand: This "HOSTEL" movie style leather outfit with mask and screw arm found the right actor to wear it. He has a tattooed snake from arms across back. He is very interactive with everyone. Pickles: the scary guy with a shovel wins for creepiest creature outside in the lines he even has theatrical scary eyes and speaking shovel or shoes. He is pretty interactive stalking around and sneaking up to people in crowds. Carrot Fingers was cool outside walking around taking pictures. This creature stealthily roams the lines and doing photo ops. Pumpkin Girl: My son absolutely loves the pumpkin girl, she took the time to take multiple pictures with my son as he was so excited each time she came by. This creature really makes her rounds all over even at time dancing around. Outdoor Staff: everyone was great. People are friendly and fun. They really have a good crew of people who seem to be having fun. The Attorney: He is funny and gives you a funny intro liability waiver speech. Door Characters: Friendly and good story intros. They get you primed for your tour. Dr. Blinken: he is your entry point and does a great job being a mono toned robot like humanoid who brings you into the factory and decontaminates you. Red Eyes: He is one of the first characters. Red eyes and a hawk mask with a violin bow screeching on a metal thing. Girl in black on the bed with metallic ball fingers: She did a great job and our first time here she was the one who got me the best as I didn't see her at all until she burst out so fast. I laughed really good since I'm hard to scare! Good job! Caged Zombies: They are a cool section with 4-5 actors doing different noises and reaching through the bars. This was a favorite section for sure. NOT to miss mentioning the wild screaming girl right before who jumps out from behind a curtain. She is just before the zombies. That girl has a great scream! I don't know how she can do that great of a scream all night! I like the animatronics, the electrocuted man is a good one, zombie from the ceiling is also a good gotcha moment. The werewolves are cool, could be louder for a bigger fright but cool. The dollhouse pop out is a really good one. The pumpkin king is huge with a surprise animatronic also. The dragon is the scariest according to my son, he somehow thought it was real each time! There is a T-Rex style dinosaur too that's cool and surpassing! The sliding knees guy: this guy really gets you every time. He runs down the hall and slides on his knees when you turn the corner. That really takes some effort and a younger persons knees! The blonde cult leader girl: She was a cool and friendly section with funny comments. She was engaging and fun. The necromancer girl: She had a fun story and zombie she brings to life. She sends you on your way to be sacrificed. She was very interactive. The chainsaw guys: at the end are a great finale. We loved seeing how terrified people would get and cringe up as they searched for a way out of the foggy smoke. The insane asylum crazy person really does a realistic job. The bone sticking out of head guy: He got us good on one trip through. If I forgot to mention any others it's because I'm still tired and there is so much to remember! This is around a 30 minute tour or so. All in all a great job. It stinks some people made bad reviews about stuff that doesn't make sense. So I made a good review with real details. Hopefully some more people make some good and honest reviews since these guys deserve it.

My hubby and I are into real paranormal so we love a good fun haunted house to get our scare on too. We got there about 7:35 and we didn't get in till 8:25 so it was a long, LONG wait outside in the cold. Especially because each group of 2 or 4 was 5 minutes apart. I'd suggest that they add some heaters next year. But it was so worth the wait. I think we were inside for over 20 minutes. The decorations were superb and the actors were great. For $20 a person we really had a great date night. We'll definitely be back next year. It was awesome.

Year built: 1991 Architect(s): Dan Maples…read moreGreens: Bent Grass Fairways: Bermuda Grass Season: Year round There are three different tee combinations on the (red/white/blue 9 hole courses). Each is challenging and has quite a bit of slope. I'd check the website for details. Carts, and clubs can be rented. We had our own clubs and did rent carts. Come to the club house for water break or snacks. There is a driving range and practice tee. Metal spikes are not allowed. The original 18 holes, designed by Dan Maples, meanders its way through valleys, hills, and woodlands. Then, in 1991, nine more holes were added with the same characteristics of the original design, becoming the area's (Jefferson County's) first 27-hole golf complex. If the course itself doesn't offer enough scenic beauty, you will often find yourself pausing to admire the views of the Great Smokey Mountains and Douglas Lake. Dandridge offers the same lush Bermuda fairways and Bentgrass green as it's sister course (Patriot Hills). All combinations are par-72 and measure approximately 6,100 yards from the back tees, 5,800 yards from the regular tees, and 4,900 yards from the forward tees. Dandridge Golf & Country Club is conveniently located just 25 minutes from Knoxville and 35 minutes from Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. We had a nice round but only playing once a year, my concentration faded quickly in the back half of the course with temperatures rising. My more seasoned companions would say it was a perfect day for golf and I can't disagree.
