Know Before You Go

Why it matters

Food City Center, historically Thompson-Boling Arena, is Knoxville's full-scale concert and sports building on the University of Tennessee campus. Its large capacity brings arena tours to East Tennessee without routing through Nashville or Atlanta.

Getting there

The arena is on Phillip Fulmer Way beside Neyland Stadium. University parking rules and event lots change by date, so use the venue's directions and arrive before campus traffic peaks.

Bag policy

One clear bag up to 12 x 6 x 12 in or a one-gallon clear resealable bag is allowed, plus one small clutch up to 4.5 x 6.5 in. Other bags are prohibited.

Local tips

Searches and older tickets may still use Thompson-Boling Arena. Match the address, check university events and follow the concert-specific parking map.
