Downtown Knoxville has a lot to offer, but sometimes residents and visitors are left wanting more.

From tall buildings to family activities to bar and restaurant variety, we came up with some amenities that have great quality in downtown Knoxville but not great quantity — and how this could be addressed.

Rick Emmett has worked for the city more than three decades, including the past 12 years as Knoxville's downtown coordinator. In this role, he helps residents and business navigate the ins and out of government while leading some of the most notable downtown efforts.

Just the prospect of a downtown Knoxville stadium was enough for real estate investors to begin buying property left and right in the Old City and Magnolia Warehouse District.
