Tennessee football announced a new partnership with Pilot that will help fund continued renovations at Neyland Stadium.

The partnership preserves both the name Neyland Stadium and Shields-Watkins Field while also adding funding for continued renovations to the stadium.

The official slogan of the partnership is “Neyland Stadium. Home of the Vols. Proudly preserved by Pilot.” Tennessee has already added new signage to the east side press box at Neyland Stadium that says “Home of the Vols” and a Pilot logo will be added beside it and two Pilot logos will also be on the field.

“We’re constantly looking for ways to generate revenue, thread the needle between being innovative and finding ways where we can look a little bit like pro sports, but also understand the history and the pageantry of college athletics, certainly here more than anywhere else in the country and with this iconic building,” Tennessee Director of Athletics Danny White said.

White discussed a multitude of topics with the partnership including why they landed with Pilot as a partner and much more. Watch here as White discusses the partnership.
