KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — For those not able to make the trip to Omaha, fret not! The University of Tennessee will be organizing their "Big Orange Watch Party" this Sunday at the Lindsey Nelson Stadium during the team's opening game against Virginia.
Admission will be free for all attendees. The stadium's front gate will open at 1 p.m., and the first pitch is set for 2 p.m. Free parking will be available in the G16 garage and all other lots near the stadium.
