Majors changes could be coming to Tennessee’s campus.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Tennessee could explore the possibility of building an entertainment district on campus that connects Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling Arena.
“Think an LA Live type set up for college, which is believed to the first on a college campus,” Thamel said.
Judging by the reactions on Twitter, the sports world wants to see this plan come to fruition.
