Greensboro, NC to Knoxville, TN: ~4.5 Hours

[shadow]

Since the men play on Friday at 2:10 PM and the women play on Saturday at a time TBD, I google mapped the drive.

Looks like it's about 4.5 hours for those interested.

Go spend the night in Asheville. That is a neat town.

That may be a tough trip in the dark I suspect you might be going up and down a ton of mountains but someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

The drive through Asheville on 40 is not terrible. This is a multi-lane interstate the whole way. If you are unsure at all, stay in Asheville and enjoy that city. Great food and beer then drive over the mountains in the morning. Would recommend this for route if you want to experience Asheville.

Do not try to take the route through Boone in the dark. Those are mountain roads and not fun to drive in the dark.

The route through Virginia is the easiest drive as far as traffic and driveability. Typically less truck traffic in general. This is our preferred route when going to Tennessee.

Just drove through Ashville on 40 heading to Hilton Head. Really slow around Ashville due to bridge construction. Added nearly an hour to our trip.

That stretch of interstate is one of the worst if it's dark w rain or snow. E of abq can also be a challenge. Never tried Donner pass though.

I don't know what day anything is.

This is good advice. I drove to Boone late one night about two years ago. It was terrible. Very dark, few street lights, few road markings, few signs, tons of road curves. I was really glad a few days later to be able to drive out in the daylight for a lovely scenic view.

Ashville is experiencing tremendous growth. Avoid rush hour . I would drive 40 in daytime. Lots of construction

How many people do you think would have interest in a bus from Greensboro to Knoxville for the game Saturday morning since I'm assuming most are flying out.

40 passenger bus is about $85-$90 each

You are the best. I love the way you mobilize the fan base. And I mean "mobilize the fanbase!"

P.S. I would definitely be interested if I weren't going to India tomorrow. What was my boss thinking?

I just looked at rental cars, the mileage and gas costs and figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask a few questions of a bus company and then see where it goes from there.
