Summary

Neyland Stadium is the home of the University of Tennessee Volunteers and the nation’s third largest college football stadium. In a 2001 poll conducted by The Sporting News, Neyland was ranked the nation’s No.1 stadium. Although Bell was not involved in the stadium’s original construction, it has helped with a number of expansion projects. In 1996, Bell added 10,000 seats to the north end zone, as well as a new upper deck, scoreboard with animated graphics, rooftop and sound system. Next, a 42-by-132-foot Jumbotron was installed in the upper deck of the south end zone. In 2000, 78 luxury skybox suites were added. The suites feature a state-of-the-art glazing system on glass imported from Germany and France.
