Amorous couple uses Neyland Stadium press box for tryst

KNOXVILLE – College students sneaking into football stadiums is not all that new. But an adventurous couple spiced things up apparently on Valentine's Day at Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee.

A photo that appears to show two people having sex in the stadium's press box was posted to Snapchat, a popular picture messaging app, on Saturday. The image was distributed to followers of an account called "Volnationsnaps," unaffiliated with the university, which shows students partying.

A screenshot of the Snapchat photo was later posted to Instagram by user "puppygotink." The Snapchat photo was given a Vols-themed caption: "Happy volentine from neylend (sic) stadium."

The Tennessean is not publishing the photo in any form because it’s unclear if the woman pictured is aware that the photo was taken. The photo was deleted Monday morning from Instagram.

It's unclear how the couple was able to access the press box, although a lunch was held Saturday in the stadium's west club as part of the university's Winter Family Weekend.

A spokesman for the University of Tennessee Police Department said his department did not receive any reports from Neyland Stadium over the weekend. A spokesman for the Tennessee athletics department did not immediately return a call requesting comment.
