  "account": "The Tennessee football athletic department has decided to extend its half-priced early concessions promotion for the remainder of the season. Originally initiated to encourage fans to arrive early for President Donald Trump's visit on September 26, the \"Happy Hour at Neyland Stadium\" promotion will continue through the final four home games. Athletic director Danny White announced the indefinite extension of the promotion, noting that gates at Neyland Stadium will open three hours prior to kickoff, with all concessions, including alcohol, being half-priced for the first hour. White described the response to the original promotion as \"incredible\" and expressed the possibility of making it a permanent fixture. The promotion will cover the teams of Auburn on October 3, Alabama on October 17, Kentucky on November 7, and LSU on November 21. The idea was inspired by the enthusiasm fans showed during the unique circumstances surrounding the Texas game, where early access to the stadium was crucial due to traffic, crowd size, and heightened security measures for Trump's attendance.",
