Bearcat Blitz
Before every home football game played at Nippert Stadium, the Myers Alumni Center will be open four hours prior to kickoff for pre-game festivities.
This year the Bearcat Blitz includes lots of activities on Sigma Sigma Commons next to the Myers Alumni Center.
Stop by on your way to the game to cool off or get warm. The Bearcat Blitz and all tailgating on campus ends 30 minutes prior to kickoff so that fans can move into Nippert Stadium to cheer the Bearcats as they take the field. Click here for the home game schedule.
