    Neyland Stadium Parking, Rules for Morgan Wallen Concert in Knoxville

    Country music superstar Morgan Wallen has two huge shows in Knoxville, with tickets priced equally high for prime seats at Neyland Stadium. So if you shelled out big bucks to see the hometown artist on Sept. 20 or 22, you don’t want to risk getting turned away for not coming prepared.

    The University of Tennessee at Knoxville expects about 80,000 fans to attend each of the shows. The shows were added to Wallen’s “One Night At A Time” tour in July, a month after Tennessee baseball won the College World Series.

    Classes will continue on the day of the first concert on Friday, and the university is asking concertgoers not to arrive on campus until after 2 p.m., when parking spaces open. A parking pass is required for reserved parking spaces, and details on how to purchase one can be found below.

    Here’s everything fans attending either concert need to know before heading to Neyland Stadium.

    On-campus parking for Morgan Wallen concerts at Neyland Stadium

    Parking tickets are now on sale for both shows, ranging from $20 to $100.

    With a pass, concertgoers are allowed to park in specific parking lots on campus. Parking lots will open at 2:00 PM on September 20 and at 12:00 PM on September 22 for the second show. Overnight stays are not permitted.

    Public parking is available on campus on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Here is every concert parking lot that accepts reservations:

    • Administrative garage connected to Thompson-Boling Arena in Food City Center
    • Circle Park Drive parking lot and side lot
    • Garage G7 West Campus (only on the 5th floor)
    • G10 Neyland Garage
    • G11 Lake Avenue Garage
    • G12 White Avenue Garage
    • G13 11th Street Garage
    • G16 Volunteers Boulevard Garage
    • G17 Terrace Avenue Garage
    • Parking lot behind Tickle College of Engineering on Neyland Drive
    • Parking lot at Second Creek on Cumberland Avenue
    • Staff Parking Lot 9 Across from Neyland Stadium
    • Staff Lot 23 by Clarence Brown Theatre
    • Stephenson Drive Parking Lot at Regal Soccer Stadium
    • Parking lots on the campus of the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture

    If you park on the agricultural campus, a shuttle bus will drop off concertgoers at the Student Union, located near Gate 21 of Neyland Stadium, starting at 3:30 p.m.

    Roads closed for Morgan Wallen concerts at Neyland Stadium

    Some roads will be closed and other roads will be busy before the concert.

    Phillip Fulmer Way will be closed from Gate 21 to the G10 garage. The road will be closed to southbound traffic at Middle Drive and will not be accessible from Peyton Manning Pass.

    People parking on G10 are advised to use Neyland Drive and avoid Lake Loudoun Boulevard.

    Uber, Lyft information for Morgan Wallen concerts at Neyland Stadium

    Concertgoers using Uber or Lyft will be dropped off for the concert on Volunteer Boulevard East, in front of the Claxton Education Building. This is near the John C. Hodges Library, the Haslam College of Business, and the Student Union. Simply head east down the hill and Neyland Stadium will soon come into view.

    If you are relying on Uber or Lyft after the concert, you will need to go to Circle Drive on the Hill for pickup. Police will be controlling vehicle access to the pickup area.

    Ticket Apps for Morgan Wallen Concerts at Neyland Stadium

    General bowl ticket holders can access their digital tickets through the Ticketmaster app. Premium ticket holders can access their digital tickets through the Tennessee Athletics app, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

    Field ticket holders enter through gate 7, and pit ticket holders enter through gate 25.

    The corresponding gate for premium ticket holders is stated on the digital tickets, while general bowl ticket holders can enter through the non-premium gates.

    Gates open each evening at 4:30pm and the show starts at 6:30pm.

    Tickets still available for Morgan Wallen concerts at Neyland Stadium

    Ticketmaster still has tickets for both Wallen shows. This includes general admission, VIP packages and verified resale tickets.

    Ticket platforms StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats also have tickets for the Knoxville shows, but say they are “selling quickly.”

    Opening Acts for Morgan Wallen Concerts at Neyland Stadium

    ERNEST and HARDY will provide the opening act for Morgan Wallen on both evenings.

    Both artists, along with Wallen, collaborated on Post Malone’s new country album. Unfortunately, Post Malone is not listed as an opener for the Knoxville shows.

    Fans are allowed to buy alcohol at the Neyland Stadium for the concerts, but are not allowed to bring their own drinks.
