- Danny White apologizes to Tennessee fans for Neyland Stadium experience after Georgia game
Tennessee played its first home SEC football game of the 2025 season in Week 3. The Vols lost in overtime, 44-41, to Georgia at Neyland Stadium .
Tennessee director of athletics Danny White issued a statement Sept. 14 on social media regarding the fan experience.
"VolNation, I owe so many of you an apology," White wrote . "The experience getting into Neyland yesterday was not acceptable. The expanded south concourse and gate 9/Truly Plaza are intended to make ingress much better, and they will, but our plan was obviously not effective. It wasn't for lack of effort, our staff and campus partners have been working hard on this all offseason. It is proven to be difficult to predict traffic flow with new gates given our tight footprint. That's not an excuse, we missed the mark. That's on me.

"I want you all to know that we are immediately looking at adjustments to our plan. Just as importantly, we will communicate with y'all this week about your best path into the stadium depending on your seat location. Thank you to those that have made me aware of the situation on this platform. I did see it myself at Gate 20. It gutted me to see our loyal fans so frustrated. I'm very sorry. We will fix it."
Tennessee will return to Neyland Stadium on Sept. 20 in Week 4. The Vols will host UAB; kickoff is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. EDT (SEC Network).
