Neyland Stadium pregame flyover to honor veterans

The University of Tennessee is honoring veterans and the military with a special flyover before today's football game against Arkansas.

Kickoff for today's game against the Razorbacks is 12:30 p.m. In honor of Veterans Day on Sunday, there will be a military flyover of five OH-58D armed reconnaissance helicopters from the 1/230th Air Cavalry Squadron of the Tennessee Army National Guard based in nearby Louisville.

The traditional Vol Walk from Gibbs Hall to Neyland Stadium starts at 10:15 a.m., and the Pride of the Southland Marching Band leaves the music building at 10:50 a.m.

Because of traffic concerns, fans driving to the game should plan to arrive early.

The stadium gates open two hours before kickoff.

James White Parkway, which connects Interstate 40 to Neyland Drive, is now open. Before the game, fans can access James White Parkway from both eastbound and westbound Interstate 40.

After the game, fans wanting to go westbound on I-40 must use Hall of Fame Drive because there is no entrance ramp from James White Parkway.

Motorists wanting to go eastbound on I-40 may use the parkway. Only fans with permits can park on campus.

UT encourages fans to use shuttle buses from the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum and the UT Agriculture campus.

Some tickets are still available for the game. The ticket office can be reached at 865-656-1200 or 800- 332-8657.
