re: Neyland Stadium Entertainment District

A college football stadium hosts 20 events a year, maybe? Max?

that area host a lot more than 20 events a year. Where they are talking about building this is along the river they have built up over the years. Also Thompson-Boling Arena is less than half mile, and this will be beneficial during baseball season as well. Just between, Baseball, Football, MBB, and WBB there were 81 home games alone. The Atlanta Braves have 80 games at home this year, not including playoffs. Truist Park holds 41,084. Neyland Stadium holds 101,915, TBA holds 21,678 Lindsey Nelson holds about 5,000 now, but it’s expanding next season to around 8500-10,000 people when expansions are completed. Now add the concerts and other events that are held in Neyland and TBA. This place will make a tone of money during Football and Basketball season. Right now only place near Neyland and TBA to eat on the River is Calhouns on the river. Don’t even try to get in at Calhouns on game day unless you plan on waiting for 2 hours or you get there right when they open. There is a lot of opportunity, but only issue is going to be parking. It looks like this project will take out the G2 parking garage. Parking is already limited i. this area already and this will not help it at all.
