Get ready, BaseVols fans! The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is hosting Big Orange Watch Parties for the College World Series for you to cheer on the team as it takes on Texas A&M in Omaha.

Games will be shown live on a big screen at Vol Village across from Circle Park on campus. There will be tailgating games, kids activities, food trucks and a mobile VolShop onsite. Fans are allowed to bring chairs, blankets and coolers with drinks, including alcohol if consumed responsibly.

The event is free for all fans.

Fans can arrive arrive at Vol Village at 6:30 p.m. June 22 for the first game and at 1 p.m. June 23 for the second game. Plans for a third and concluding game, if necessary, will be announced later.

To park, UT encourages fans to travel north on Lake Loudoun Boulevard, then turn into the G-16 garage on Johnny Majors Drive to avoid road construction on campus. Fans can view the latest campus map at maps.utks.edu.

UT will cancel the event in the case of rain or inclement weather in Knoxville. You can find updates at UTsports.com or @Vol_Sports on social media.

The No. 1 Vols (58-12) and No. 3 Aggies (52-13) play in the best-of-three CWS final series. It is the third time in the past four seasons that two SEC teams will play for the national championship. The matchup means an SEC team will be the champion for a fifth straight year.
