Akron Gameday Info

Hey Bearcats Fans,

There are several special actitives, presented by Cincinnati Bell Yellow Pages, we have scheduled for this Saturday as your Cincinnati Bearcats battle the Akron Zips at 3:30pm. Due to our Hometown Heroes promotion there are a handful of new pre-game activities to check out prior to the game. There will be a helicopter landing at Gettler Stadium and you can get an up close and personal look for yourself. Also at Gettler Stadium will be a rock climbing wall brought to you by the Army ROTC.

The Bearcats Family Zone will be opening at 1:00pm which will provide a great opportunity for families to participate in the Future Bearcats Field where kids can dress up and practice like the Bearcats, play on the inflatable obstacle courses, and visit our tattoo and face painting stations.

Check out the new on-campus walk-up tailgate area, The GRID, located on Campus Green. One hundred of Cincinnati's best tailgate groups bring their parties right on campus and there's a huge section, free of charge, just for students. Bring chairs, bring cornhole, bring a cooler and enjoy the Catwalk as the team rolls right through the student section two and a half prior to the game. For more information on the GRID click here.

Get fired up before all home games (beginning three hours prior) at Mick & Mack’s Pre-Game Grill-Outs, (Mick & Mack’s patio in between TUC & McMicken Commons and close proximity to Nippert). A la carte menu will include our charcoal-grilled burgers, Italian sausages, and hickory smoked chicken wings, as well as domestic and import beers, wine, and soft drinks.
