Traveling Photographer needs some help

by pHalfacre on Nov 16, 2011 3:56 PM EST

Hey Tennessee Nation! I will be visiting Neyland Stadium Saturday to take pictures of the Volunteers and Commodores game. I was hoping I could post my pictures up on this site to get even more feedback. Also, it's a chance to see a future SEC rival as I am a Mizzou graduate. Any advice of who I should take pictures of? Anything that makes Neyland Stadium special? Is there some special traditions that the Volunteers do at games or on gameday that the fans do?
If you would like to see some of my pictures I've already taken my website is;

Vol Walk (ending at Gate 21) at 5 PM

the Vol Navy is pretty special. We’re one of only two college stadia that are accessible by boat, so there are always plenty of tailgaters on the Tennessee river.

And my favorite tradition, the running through the T to close the pregame.

Heel for school, Vol for life!

Bolts, Preds, Canes (childhood team, home state team, hometown team). Canes mini-STH. Southern hockey solidarity!

Like He Said...

The Vol Walk is a very important tradition at Tennessee. Also, a good idea would be the salute to the hill. Probably best to be as close to the intersection of Andy Holt and Phillip Fulmer for good pictures of that.

As far as who to take pictures of, Tyler Bray will be playing for the first time in a minute, so he will be good to get pictures of. Coach Derek Dooley and his perfect hair is also a good bet. It’s senior day so Tauren Poole, Art Evans, maybe Matt Simms if you can see him, Ben Martin and Austin Johnson are good bets.

As for Neyland Stadium, the sheer mass of the stadium is something to try and capture. Hopefully it will be a semi-crowded (95,000+) game. Running through the T, spelling VOLS through the band, and Smokey are all good ideas as well. The band is stellar.

Hope this helps
