Fans wanting an early taste of the atmosphere for Saturday’s Tennessee vs. Alabama football game in Knoxville will get the opportunity Friday in the Scenic City.

The University of Alabama’s Million Dollar Band will perform at noon at Finely Stadium. The band’s appearance is part of a tradition that dates to 1992, with the visiting team’s band stopping in Chattanooga to play en route to the game.

Admission is free, and the performance is open to the public. The St. Elmo Gate will open at 11 a.m. and be the lone entrance. Concessions available for purchase will include Max Grilleworks, serving grilled all-beef hot dogs, burgers, fries, draft beer and Coca-Cola products.

Regular parking rates will apply.

The Million Dollar Band will perform its halftime show, pep tunes and other traditional songs.
