Tennessee Football extends Neyland Stadium sellout streak to 26 games

Tennessee Football’s sellout streak at Neyland Stadium will reach 26 games, at least. Athletic director Danny White announced on social media on Monday that that Vols have sold out three of their remaining four home games, against Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico State.

Limited tickets remain for the regular-season finale against Vanderbilt on November 29.

Tennessee announced in April that the season ticket allotment of 70,500 is sold out for a third straight year. UT at the time reported another 23,755 fans were currently on a season-ticket waiting list and that the Vols also produced an athletic department record 97.8% season-ticket renewal rate. 

Danny White: The Neyland Effect will be in full force

“Vol Nation continues to lead the way as the best fan base in all of sports,” Tennessee athletic director Danny White said in a press release. “In this era of college athletics, it is almost unheard of to sell out over 70,000 season tickets for three consecutive seasons. The Neyland Effect will be in full force on Rocky Top this fall!”

Tennessee’s ‘Rise Glorious’ plan initially set a goal of 70,000 season tickets sold by 2026-27. The Vols hit that mark in May 2023, though, and have now repeated it three times. It’s only the fourth time in program history that season tickets have been sold out, with the 2016 season being the first. 

Neyland Stadium has been sold out for 23 straight games, dating back to a 63-6 win over Akron on September 17, 2022. All seven home games of the 2023 season were sold out and the final six home games of the 2022 season were capacity crowds.

Last season Tennessee averaged a sold-out crowd of 101,915 fans over seven home games, going a perfect 7-0 in front of a total of 713,405 fans. Both totals ranked sixth nationally.

Tennessee is 26-5 at home during the Josh Heupel era. The Vols are 22-2 at home since the start of the 2022 season.

What’s left on Tennessee Football’s schedule

Tennessee (3-1) goes to Mississippi State (4-0) on Saturday (4:15 p.m. Eastern Time, SEC Network) at Davis Wade Stadium in the first true road game of the season.
