Hartland Hotel Group will help guide this aspect of the project. The group developed the Hotel Figueroa, located next to LA Live, among others. <\/p>\n<p>The project is scheduled to begin in summer of 2026 with the removal of the G-10 Parking Garage which will impact gameday activities during the 2026 Volunteer football season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust like our teams when we are renovating their facilities, we\u2019ll have to deal with a little bit of dust for this upcoming season,\u201d noted White.  \u201cWe are asking fans to pardon our dust, we are going to find parking, we are going to figure it out for one season and I think people will be really pleased with the finished product.  It\u2019s going to be really cool.<\/p>\n<p>The new garage is expected to be operational by the fall of 2027 with the entertainment district finished by fall of 2028 and the hotel and condos one year later.<\/p>\n<p>White hopes the development spurs additional projects along the river.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really want to see more development of our waterfront and we think this project can be the impudence of that,\u201d added White.  \u201cLooking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source tricitiessports.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neyland Entertainment District Project Approved, Awarded to 865 Neyland Project Team The Tennessee State Building Commission on Thursday approved a major University of Tennessee endeavor around Neyland Stadium that includes a development of an entertainment district along with a condo-hotel and rebuilt G-10 parking garage.
