Tennessee Athletics Announces Fourth Annual Salute to Service Week

For the fourth consecutive year, Tennessee Athletics is proud to announce a full Salute to Service Week of activities for Nov. 7-12.

This year's week-long celebration of Tennessee's ultimate Volunteers includes special recognitions, ceremonies, celebrations and opportunities for veteran and military families to attend a football, men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball game free of charge (additional details provided below).

Since the introduction of the week-long recognition in 2018, Tennessee Athletics has welcomed thousands of military and veterans from across the southeast to numerous athletics events as part of Salute to Service Week.

Football
Local and state veteran, military and first-responder organizations that Tennessee Athletics has identified as longstanding partners will be invited to attend the Tennessee vs. Missouri football game on Saturday, Nov. 12 (noon ET).

The Pride of the Southland Marching Band will perform a special halftime show dedicated to Veterans. Plans for a pregame flyover performed by two A-10s from the 122^nd Fighter Wing, are in the works, but are dependent on weather conditions and other factors.

At halftime, a contracting and re-enlistment swearing-in ceremony will take place for 100 members from UT's ROTC Air Force and Army Programs.

The Vol Walk also will be led by representation from each of the five military branches.

Fans interested in purchasing tickets to the Salute to Service game are encouraged to visit AllVols.com. The only original inventory remaining for the Missouri game are tickets to the new north social deck. The safest and most secure method to access secondary-market tickets to Tennessee Athletics events is to select tickets labeled "verified resale tickets" via Ticketmaster through AllVols.com.

Men's and Women's Basketball
During Salute to Service Week, current military members, veterans and first responders may present a military ID, DD 214, license certification, state-issued ID, badge or other employer-issued identification at ticket locations outside of Thompson-Boling Arena for complimentary admission to the designated men's basketball and/or women's basketball games for you and your immediate family (limit of 4 to 6, based on availability).

This year's Salute to Service basketball games are the men's season-opener vs. Tennessee Tech on Monday, Nov. 7 (7 p.m. ET), and the women's home-opener against UMass on Thursday, Nov. 10 (6:30 p.m. ET).

In addition to complimentary admission for active military and veterans, free parking and shuttle service is available for Vol and Lady Vol basketball games from UT's Ag Campus.
