Photos: Tennessee shows off Neyland Stadium's completed Lower West Club
Tennessee football on Wednesday showed off its finished product in Neyland Stadium’s Lower West Club. The new premium seating was introduced for the 2022 season but the club under the stadium on the west side was completed during the offseason.
The club features 22-inch padded chair back seating behind the Tennessee sideline with a 13,000-square foot climate-controlled club underneath the stance, featuring private restrooms, enhanced food and beverage options, social spaces for fans and 63 TVs.
Lower West Club tickets also includes an outdoor field-level area available for standing and comes with a parking pass.
The 2022 season also included the introduction of the North End Zone Social Deck. The premium standing-room only area in the north upper deck gives fans access to a sports bar just below the new video board in the north end zone.
Stadium-wide Wi-Fi connectivity scheduled for Fall 2024
Tennessee announced in March that stadium-wide Wi-Fi connectivity is scheduled for Fall 2024, along with a stadium kitchen, commissary and loading dock, new southeast elevators vertically connecting all concourse, a new Gate 4 entry plaza, renovations and upgrade for all stadium skyboxes and initial construction for the Westside Founders Suites.
To date, 111 miles of cable have been installed at Neyland during the Wi-Fi addition. There will be between 150 and 175 miles by project’s end. There will also be 13 miles of fiber-optic cable and 20 miles of electrical conduit.
The Vols said in the press release at the time that season-ticket holders with seats in sections and rows that will be impacted by the addition of the Westside Founders Suites would get phone or email communication from the Vols with instruction and resources for the 2023 relocation process.

Fundraising has ‘accelerated’ Tennessee’s ability to make progress in renovation plans
“We introduced multiple fan amenities (for the 2022 season) that elevated the gameday experience for guests throughout Neyland Stadium,” Tennessee Deputy Athletics Director/Chief Operating Officer Ryan Alpert said in the press release. “We’re excited to steadily take our next strategic steps in the modernization of the venue while also ensuring that we honor and preserve the historic pageantry of Tennessee football gamedays.
“Vol Nation’s incredible support of the My All Campaign — coupled with the excitement surrounding our football program’s rapid ascension under Josh Heupel — have accelerated our ability to make major progress in our renovation plan.”
Tennessee’s press release in March described the final product being “highlighted by a significant expansion to main concourse 1, inclusive of additional restrooms and an improved concessions experience. Additionally, the south end of the facility will be home to the stadium’s first-ever kitchen, commissary and loading dock.”
