Vol supporters should go to the Vols’ citywide celebration, which will take place after the game. However, several downtown roadways will be closed due to the festivity. According to city officials, the roadways close to the procession route—from the bridge to Wall Avenue—will be closed starting at 6 p.m. This is so that crews can get ready for what should be a busy occasion.
In reference to getting ready, on Tuesday morning, decorations began to appear in Market Square.
