This is the second (of three) home games that Tennessee has sold out this season. The season opener against Utah State was also sold out.
The Vols will be looking to break a nine game losing streak to the Gators.
Tennessee hasn’t beat Florida since 2004 when James Wilhoit kicked the Vols to victory.
Checker Neyland, an initiative created by a couple of Vol fans, is expected to be on full display.
The University of Tennessee (And Butch Jones) are fully behind the idea.
JONES: To have a fan initiative like Checkerboard Neyland is incredible. Saturday at noon should be the best environment in the country

If Vol fans are able to pull this off, it will be one of the more impressive things you’ll see at a college football game this season.
