The Big Orange Caravan will visit three corners of Tennessee and the capital this spring.

Football coach Josh Heupel, men's basketball coach Rick Barnes, Lady Vols basketball coach Kellie Harper and athletics director Danny White will visit Nashville (April 30), Chattanooga (May 1), Memphis (May 2) and the Tri-Cities (May 8).

Bob Kesling, the "Voice of the Vols," will host the event. And UT spirit squads will be on hand.

Tickets for each tour stop cost $20 and include light food options. Within that cost, $5 of every ticket sold will benefit the local UT Alumni chapter's scholarship endowment and $5 will benefit the My All Campaign.

Doors to each event will open at 5 p.m. local time followed by a meet and greet from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. A cash bar, as well as light food and appetizers, will be available. Each program begins at 6:15 p.m.
