All My Exes Live in Texas turns The 808 into a classic-country dance hall Saturday night
Doors open at seven, right as the Alabama game ends across the river, for a night of old country on Sevier Avenue. It is the venue's first non-touring night, and the first one built for dancing.

All My Exes Live in Texas: Classic Country Night is how The 808's schedule lists Saturday, doors at seven and the show at eight, eighteen and up. After an opening fortnight of touring acts, this is the room doing a theme night of its own, the old songs played for a dance floor. The venue's earlier announcement promised dance lessons with it, so nobody has to already know a two-step.
The game ends first
Alabama kicks off at Neyland at 3:30 Saturday, which puts the final whistle somewhere around seven, the same minute the doors open on Sevier Avenue. The bridge traffic will be heavy at exactly that hour; walking over from a game-day room in Old Sevier is faster than driving anything. Average Wieners is on the patio, and the parking map in the story below says where the car goes; the Parking row above links to it.
