Why Tennessee football fans should double-check Checker Neyland colors vs Texas
Tennessee fans accustomed to wearing the same color to Checker Neyland games should confirm whether they're assigned orange or white for Texas game.
For Tennessee football fans, the upcoming matchup between the Vols and the Texas Longhorns on September 26 at Neyland Stadium presents an important reminder: double-check their assigned gameday colors. Traditionally, fans have worn orange or white based on their seat location, but this year the color assignments are switching. To avoid any confusion and ensure they have the right outfit, fans should visit CheckerNeyland.com to confirm their assigned color.
The swap marks a departure from the color assignments during coach Josh Heupel's tenure from 2021-25, when fans could count on the same color for each Checker Neyland game. The color change adds an extra element of excitement to the highly anticipated game, as Tennessee (3-0) takes on Texas (3-0) in a highly competitive matchup.
ESPN's College Gameday will broadcast the action live from 9 a.m. to noon ET, with the iconic Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning expected to attend to see his nephew, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, on the field.
