Tennessee isn’t just an everything school. It’s a sell everything school, too, including a handful of items from the ongoing Neyland Stadium renovations.
The athletic department’s Tennessee Fund has launched the Neyland Stadium Collectibles Campaign that is auctioning off items that include farm tables made from bathroom doors, pieces of the Neyland Stadium foundation, as well as rings filled with pieces of the stadium’s foundation.
“What would you do with one of Neyland Stadium’s century-plus old bathroom doors?” the Vols wrote on the auction website. “Transform it into an iconic farm table that will not only be a gathering spot for friends and family, but also a buzz-worthy showpiece to ‘wow’ Vols fans.
“This nearly 8-foot long farm table was touched up and created by Knoxville’s very own The Hand Made Table. Painstaking touch-ups and historic preservation best practices gave this one-of-a-kind table the TLC it so richly deserves. Your item will come with an official certificate of authenticity, signed by the Tennessee Fund’s Alicia Longworth.”
The bid on Tuesday afternoon for the farm table bathroom door was $2,500. The black-and-white photos start at $2,250. The black rings filled with foundation are listed at $320 and the foundation pieces were $150.

Neyland Stadium undergoing multi-phase renovation
Neyland Stadium is currently undergoing a multi-phase renovation that is scheduled to be finished next year. The Vols completed an overhaul of the south end of the stadium ahead of the 2025 season.
In recent years Tennessee has added the social deck and video board to the north end zone upper deck, replaced the video board above the south end zone and added club seats and lower-west club.
The Vols have also added fully functional Wifi, a loading dock, commissary and kitchen as well as brining back the ‘VOLS’ letters in the southeast and southwest corners of the stadium.
This summer Tennessee finished new concessions and bathrooms in the expanded concourse in the south end, along with an expanded Gate 9 plaza.
