KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The University of Tennessee will begin selling alcohol at football games for the 2019-2020 season.

"The game day experience at Neyland Stadium is historic and unrivaled, and I'm confident these new concessions options will aid our continued efforts to enhance that experience for Tennessee fans and visitors throughout the stadium.
