History of Luttrell

The Golden Sunsphere RoadyGoat

Knoxville's skyline is crowned by a giant gold ball on a stick, and locals wouldn't have it any other way. The Sunsphere is a 266-foot steel tower topped with a five-story golden globe, built as the symbol of the 1982 World's Fair, officially the Knoxville International Energy Exposition, themed 'Energy Turns the World.' The fair drew more than 11 million visitors to a 70-acre site between downtown and the University of Tennessee. Those gleaming panes really are gilded: each window holds a film of 24-karat gold dust. When the fair ended, almost everything was torn down, but the Sunsphere and the amphitheater stayed, and the grounds became World's Fair Park. Today you can ride up to the observation deck for a 360-degree view of the Tennessee River, the UT campus, and the Smokies beyond. One bold gold globe outlived the whole world's fair around it.
