Hotels for Tennessee vs. Texas still available if you're willing to spend $2,000
Hotels for the Tennessee vs. Texas game on Sept. 26 began selling out months ago. A limited number are still available but will cost fans thousands.
The Tennessee Volunteers and Texas Longhorns are set to clash in a highly anticipated college football showdown on September 26, kicking off their rivalry as SEC conference opponents. Amidst the excitement, hotel accommodations for attendees have become scarce and expensive. As of Sept. 22, most downtown Knoxville hotels, including the Graduate Hotel by Hilton, Knoxville Graduate, Tennessean, and Marriott, are either sold out or priced well beyond $2,000 per night.
Airbnb rentals have also surged in cost, with some options reaching $10,000. For those seeking more affordable alternatives, hotels in West Knoxville and Cedar Bluff remain slightly less pricey, but still significantly more expensive than usual. The Checker Neyland event, a pregame show hosted by College GameDay, has further fueled the frenzy, with fans encouraged to wear orange or white in designated sections to create a checkerboard pattern.
