Checked out Cumberland Ave and stopped at some Mushroom place and got some good food. Construction wasn't to bad but frick is this area hilly as hell.
Checked out the campus and that is hilly as hell and I'm young... Looked nice but lacked any defined architecture to make it standout (think LSU campus or Stanford). Neyland Stadium was a site to see and you could feel the history walking around the stadium. Looks massive from the outside but you could tell the side by the river and other areas needed renovations for the rust and such. Not the Horseshoe but it's a kick arse stadium worth watching a game it. Sucks that UT has been in a slump so long for a stadium that massive and passionate student body/fan base. I didn't understand the guy with flaming torch in hand either....
Missed a few places but will hit them up on my return trip home. Wish I had more time to see the city than just a quite drive by...

The side next to the river is gonna be renovated in the next phase of renovations.
The campus buildings are kind of a patchwork because the University was occupied by both the Confederate and Union armies during The Civil War. Many of the original buildings were deemed uninhabitable or destroyed during the Battle at Fort Sanders.
I recommend you go to Market Square on your way back through. Lots of restaurants/bars.
And that guy is The Torchbearer
