Knoxville is in Knox County, Tennessee. It is the third-largest city in the state. It is the site of the 1982 Worlds Fair.

The scruffy little city called Knoxville sits nestled on the Tennessee River about an hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One can still see remnants of the 1982 Worlds Fair in the Sunsphere, a rising structure topped with a gold sphere which dots Knoxvilles skyline.

Knoxville is also home to the Womens Basketball Hall of Fame. The basketball teams play in the 21,000+ seat Thompson Boling Arena, and the nationally recognized football team plays in Neyland Stadium, one of the largest on-campus stadiums in the world at 103,000+ seating capacity.

The city is also the home or birthplace of a number of cultural figures, such as authors Cormac McCarthy, James Agee, and Alex Haley, and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who mentions the city in all of his films Less culturally, actor and daredevil Johnny Knoxville is from the city.
