Visiting the stadium in Knoxville

Linda and I headed down to Knoxville in search of a corn maze on the 100 Places list. Instead, we found the home of the Panthers. The top of the stadium is at street level with the field sunk down several feet. Along the east and west sides, there are deep stone shelves for fans to be seated. We couldn't tell if it was common to bring lawn chairs but there appears to be room. I have to think it would be an interesting place to play or view a game. Unfortunately, we saw Save Our Stadium signs around town and have since learned that a new field is being prepared. I hope there's an opportunity next year to see a game in this distinctive setting.
