Tennessee announced on Wednesday that the annual Orange and White game will be played on April 13th at 1pm in front of a limited number of fans. 

Due to construction taken place in the south concourse, west side and upper north end, capacity for the game will be limited to just 10,000 fans. 

The game will air on SEC Network plus. 

As for tickets, they will go on sale on Wednesday, Feb. 21. Admission to the game is $10 for non-premium seats and $15 for the Lower West Club. All proceeds will count as a contribution to the My All Campaign.

Tickets will be sold in donor rank order beginning with season ticket holders. Season ticket holders will receive more information on how to purchase tickets, as well as parking availability, from the Tennessee Fund and UT Athletic Ticket Office beginning the week of Feb. 19.

There will also be big screens in Lot 9 and at the amphitheater outside Gate 21 for fans to watch the the spring game as well as Vol baseball that evening against LSU. 

Tennessee is coming off a bowl game win over Iowa which was led by freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava and the Vols are an early pre-season top 20 team by most every media outlet doing a poll.
