Come to Pregame Showcase

Even before you get to Neyland Stadium, fall Saturdays are special in Knoxville. One of the traditional activities is Pregame Showcase, entertaining and informative 45-minute presentations by members of the faculty of the UT Knoxville College of Arts and Sciences.

The talks begin two hours before kickoff in the University Center ballroom (Room 213). They’re free, and anyone can attend. Light refreshments are provided.

The College of Arts and Sciences sponsors the presentations with support from the UT Knoxville Office of Alumni Affairs, WUOT 91.9 FM, and UT Athletics. More information is available by calling 865-974-5332 or visiting pregameshowcase.utk.edu.
