How Danny White plans to make Tennessee Vols the height of entertainment

University of Tennessee plans to build a hotel, restaurants,
retail stores and more in what it calls the Neyland Entertainment
District.


Entertainment districts have become popular for pro sports teams
like the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Cubs and
Green Bay Packers. But, UT will be among the first to build one
on a college campus.


The development will connect Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling
Arena in an innovative way that UT hopes will enhance fans'
experience on game days. But there's more to it than that.


On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John
Adams assess Tennessee's plans for the entertainment district and
what the timeline might look like. They dub the project a savvy,
forward-thinking idea that embraces modern sports as more than a
game – more than ever, it's about the fan experience.
