Florida Gators vs Tennessee Volunteers

Experience the excitement of SEC college football as the Florida Gators travel to Knoxville to take on conference rival Tennessee Volunteers in a pivotal division game. This bitter rivalry game is only part of the fun and you’ll also experience the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg with this special 3-night getaway that includes luxury accommodations at the exceptional Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Spa.

The University of Florida, led by first-year head coach Dan Mullen, looks to bounce back from a disappointing 4-7 season in 2017. However, one of those wins included a stirring 26-20 comeback victory over the Volunteers when redshirt freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks tossed a 63-yard “Hail Mary” touchdown pass on the game’s final play. While Tennessee has lost 12 of its last 13 games to the Gators, the Vols won the last matchup at Neyland Stadium, 38-28 in 2016.

Located adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort offers a scenic mountain views and easy access to the nation’s most visited national park. The spacious accommodations feature all the comforts of home, plus a wide variety of exquisite resort amenities ranging from hiking trails and recreational options to an award-winning on-site restaurant, a world-class spa and the year-round, Wild Bear Falls indoor water park.

In addition to the exciting SEC college football matchup, this unique getaway weekend includes a VIP welcome party, complete with dinner, open bar, an entertaining DJ and prizes, plus personal concierge service and late checkout on your final day.
