I think I saw a thread recently about this. I'm considering going to the Tennessee game, but probably can't walk from the orange lot to the stadium and back. Also, the guy I'm going with, just had a hip surgery and certainly can't walk that far. Is there assistance from the University (golf cart's etc.?) that can get someone to the gate?

We parked in a first come first served handicap lot for years if you have a handicap pass because of my friends dad. If you make a right on University Drive from Cooper it's right there. They have a free shuttle bus that will take them right up to the gate. You may be SOL if you can't get a handicap thing to hang from your mirror. I have no help there.
If that was an additional regular parking area it would be at least $200 per game.
I have a parking pass in the Orange Lot, but my brother and I have trouble walking that far. Neither of us are "handicapped" to the extent that we get a handicapped parking sticker. I was just asking. I would have thought there was a way for old people to get a ride in, but if not, we will deal with it. All good.
Beibg unable to walk any distance is my problem also, plus it's hard to sit in one spot for long at a time.... If they ever put in reclining chair's I might could make it... Also how close is the bath rooms?? When you get older it's hard to hold it, lol
