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).

Even though I've lived in Knoxville my entire life, had yet to make it to the Ula Love Doughty…read moreCarousel Theatre until recently. I have been missing out. The set up, the acoustics, the ability to perform in a unique way. The theatre itself is in-the-round, which I'd only seen at a concert. It was great! The performers were coming in and out of performing up and down the aisles. It added an extra element of surprise, not knowing if they'd enter right by you, or you could see them entering across the theatre, before others knew it. The in-the-round also provided an interesting take on the acoustics. The sound was not just coming directly at you the entire time, but it was able to ebb and flow. Made me wonder if some theatre directors plan for that, and coach their actors to utilize that option. Looking at the line up of shows, there's a wide variety of performances. From contemporary, historic, and local shows, the space appeals to any and all!
