Knoxville's live calendar runs through Thompson-Boling Arena (the University of Tennessee's 21,678-seat home court that doubles as the city's primary touring concert venue), Neyland Stadium (Tennessee Volunteers football, one of the most storied stadiums in college football with capacity north of 101,000), and the Tennessee Theatre (a 1928 restored movie palace running theatrical and concert programming year-round). Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum and the Bijou Theatre round out the mid-sized rooms. Country tours route Knoxville heavily — the city sits two hours from Nashville and serves as a primary East Tennessee country tour stop. SEC football Saturdays at Neyland Stadium drive the state's biggest single-day attendance and economic spikes; the Vol Walk (the team's pre-game procession through campus) is a fan ritual that fills downtown hotels every home weekend. The Old City entertainment district keeps the deep nightlife club scene running through the week.
