New entertainment district and 24-story tower planned next to Neyland Stadium along the Tennessee River
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Smokies.LIVE GameDay Center) — A new destination is taking shape next to Neyland Stadium that aims to extend the energy of Tennessee Athletics beyond game day.
865 Neyland is a planned entertainment district and 24-story hotel and residential tower along the Tennessee River adjacent to the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium.
The development is designed to combine Tennessee Athletics traditions with dining, hospitality, live entertainment and residential experiences, creating a gathering place intended to operate year-round.
Plans call for approximately 100,000 square feet of entertainment space, along with:
- 186 hotel rooms
- 51 luxury residences
- 30 condo/hotel units
- A 24-story tower
The project takes its name from East Tennessee’s iconic 865 area code and Neyland Stadium, one of college football’s most recognizable venues.
Rather than serving solely as a game-day destination, 865 Neyland is being designed as a year-round gathering place for Volunteers fans, residents, students and visitors.
The development will sit along the Tennessee River, adding another destination to the area surrounding Neyland Stadium and the University of Tennessee campus.
For Volunteer Nation, the project represents a vision for bringing the traditions and excitement surrounding Tennessee Athletics into a new entertainment and hospitality district — 365 days a year.
865 Neyland is coming soon to Rocky Top.
