Neyland Stadium, one of the largest and most iconic college football stadiums in the U.S., is undergoing a significant renovation project with an estimated budget now set at $337 million, aimed for completion by 2026. The University of Tennessee's Board of Trustees has approved several budget increases since the project's inception in 2016. Concurrently, UT Athletics has entered a 20-year branding partnership with Knoxville-based Pilot Corporation, which will provide substantial financial support for the renovations. Despite this agreement, the historic names of Neyland Stadium and Shields-Watkins Field will remain unchanged, with Pilot’s branding integrated throughout the stadium. This deal is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in new revenue, which will aid in modernizing the fan experience while preserving the stadium's storied legacy.
