HOURS
The parking lots at Finley Stadium open six hours prior to kickoff on game days (unless otherwise noted).

TAILGATING
The First Horizon Pavilion is the headquarters for all tailgating at UTC football games. However, fans are encouraged to tailgate in any lot around the stadium. If you are interested in purchasing a space inside the First Horizon Pavilion, click here. Otherwise, enjoy tailgating where ever you park around Finley Stadium.

Remember, just because you don't have a space in the First Horizon Pavilion, doesn't mean you can't come join the fun. There are bounce houses, games for the kids, big screen TVs and lots of great activities for fans of all ages in and around the First Horizon Pavilion.

Be sure to be there for the 'Moc Walk' that takes place two-and-a-half hours prior to kickoff. Head Coach Rusty Wright leads the team through the First Horizon Pavilion and down to the field. Be there to get the team fired up for the game.

Also, join the Marching Mocs and Spirit Teams inside the pavilion and on Reggie White Blvd. between the stadium and pavilion, approximately 45 minutes prior to kick-off as they host the Spirit Parade and 'Mocs Rock' concert!
