ESPN's Face of the Program for the Tennessee Volunteers? The Neyland Experience.

100,000+, a stadium on the banks of the Tennessee River with the picturesque Great Smoky Mountains defining the horizon, the orange and white checkerboard end zones, the Vol Navy, the Pride of the Southland Marching Band half-stepping the Power T, the Vol Walk, the players running through the T, and Rocky Top and Rocky Top after Rocky Top?

After Rocky Top? Ad infinitum?

Yeah, I can see that.

But what else have you got? Why?

The Fans

What else have you got? The Fans, there is something about Tennessee Fans. They come from all over the state of Tennessee, and they fill Neyland Stadium every home game. Making it the 4th largest city in Tennessee every Saturday. The place rocks and the Fans shout, and even if Tennessee loses the Fans are back the next home game to support the Vols. Yes we got the Fans who love Tennessee no matter what. I love Tennessee !!! GO VOLS !!!!

OLD SMOKEY

I'll echo my comments from the Fanshots

I’ll buy the Neyland Experience but if I were to choose an actual human face I’d go with General Neyland himself. He is the true definition of a Volunteer and really laid the foundation for a lot of the traditions we have, from his Maxims to the very stadium we play in.
