We all have our routines. If you’re going out in Knoxville, it’s probably to a tailgate and a football game, or maybe to a party in the Fort or a bar on the strip. Maybe you prefer the clubs in the Old City or have a favorite spot out West. Young or old, it’s important to supplement our routines with something new. Go to a concert put on by an artist you’ve never seen before. Check out a UT athletic event that isn’t a football game or maybe go to a play or check out some stand up comedy. If any of that sounds appealing, then read on for some ideas on how to mix it up in Knoxville.
The UT Men’s Basketball team has been a major player in the SEC since head coach Bruce Pearl took over four years ago.
