The Sunsphere

I was the symbol of the 1982 World's Fair and remain an enduring yet sassy emblem of the city of Knoxville. Reflectin' the rays and livin' the dream.

Little known fact: my tower structure contains a piece of the goalpost from the 1982 Tennessee-Alabama game, where UT broke the 11-game losing streak on Bear Bryant’s last game in Knoxville. The goal section was painted blue and hidden one night after Fair hours. Still there? Hm

[The Sunsphere @TheSunsphere]

Big deal. We saw this every night at the World’s Fair rolling around playing techno music with kids following it wearing deely bobbers…
