Vols Big Orange Caravan to Bypass Chattanooga This Spring
(utsports.com) Tennessee Athletics’ “Big Orange Caravan” presented by Pilot rolls across the state of Tennessee from April 29 – May 1 with Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Danny White, men’s basketball coach Rick Barnes, women’s basketball coach Kim Caldwell, head football coach Josh Heupel and new “Voice of the Vols” Mike Keith.
A collaborative fan appreciation tour hosted by Tennessee Athletics and the UT Knoxville Office of Alumni Affairs, “Big Orange Caravan” will make stops in Memphis (April 29), Nashville (April 30) and the Tri-Cities (May 1).
Tickets for each tour stop cost $30 (plus taxes and fees) and include light food options. As part of this cost, a total of $5 of every ticket sold will benefit the local UT Alumni chapter’s scholarship endowment, and $10 will benefit the My All Campaign.
Doors to each event open at 5 p.m. local time followed by a meet and greet with the headliners from 5:30 p.m.-6:15 p.m. A cash bar, as well as light food and appetizers, will be available. Each program begins at 6:15 p.m. The UT Spirit Squads will be in attendance.
Hosted by Keith, the program will feature fun stories, insight and a Q & A with UT guests. Keith returns to Rocky Top after spending the past 27 seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Keith will be the lead play-by-play announcer for Tennessee’s football and men’s basketball games beginning in the fall.
A “Big Orange Caravan” appearance is also being planned for Knoxville in the fall. Additional information, including guests and a date, will be forthcoming. Future caravans will alternate Memphis and Chattanooga every year with the latter set for the spring of 2026.
