Vols,

All of you reflect on great memories and bring out some equally great points.

It has definitely been a true landmark.

Now, the greatest storm will be the traffic situation in that area once it all starts to be demolished and new construction takes place. My old favorite parking places all along Volunteer Blvd, often right in the block beside Stokely..........have been non existent the last several years. Once they demolished the old music bldg across the street, that whole area was a no parking situation, even more puzzling was on football Saturdays...........with no construction going on, still.........no parking allowed.

Remember when you could double park on Volunteer Blvd, with only one lane of traffic moving toward the stadium? Were you there for the game when the helicopter crashed near Stokely? Also, parking down by the river on Neyland Drive? A house of horrors is parking for a football game anywhere near the stadium !

All memories. Also, look at the area down at the U T Center............the landmark bridge.......gone. More construction !
