Clearly, Knoxville loves its football, and even though the Tennessee Titans are based in Nashville, there is still a devoted and rather enthusiastic following for the state's own football team. Whenever there's a game on, you can feel the excitement of hard-hitting sports action no matter what part of the state you may be in. NFL fever runs high every time the Titans take the field!

Knoxville had the honor of hosting the World's Fair in 1982. One of the most obvious reminders of that momentous event is the fact that the Sunsphere was built to complement the event and it still stands today as a great way for tourists to get a bird's eye view of the city. Visit the various levels and enjoy views of downtown, the University of Tennessee and the mountains in the distance. It's a truly breathtaking experience. Other attractions include The Candy Factory, a group of Victorian homes that house shops selling arts and crafts, and Fort Kid that is a playground featuring historically-themed rides and play areas. The celebration of the World's Fair clearly still echoes at this fun, family-friendly attraction in Knoxville.
