Historical Football Parking
In the past, the Tennessee Fund assigned football parking passes in the following manner. First, your total football priority fund contribution level directly determined your lot priority level. Second, your Tennessee Fund donor rank within that priority level, based on availability, determined if you will be allocated a pass in that lot. Members had to purchase football season tickets to be eligible. Premium parking was allocated separately.
Historical Parking Pass Quantities
The number of football parking passes you were eligible for was determined by your Tennessee Fund priority level. The cost of premium parking for Tennessee Terrace, Lower West Club, East Club, West Club, North Upper Deck and Skybox seat holders was included in the annual licensing fee. Motorhome/RV parking may cost extra, depending on preferences.
