ENHANCED GAME DAY OPPORTUNITIES

UTSA Athletics recently announced new enhanced game day experience opportunities - Early Bird Experience, Videoboard Messages and Sideline Passes (for Season Ticket Holders) - to allow fans to get closer to the action. Learn more about these opportunities and purchase yours here.

Additionally, fans are encouraged to direct their attention to the video boards immediately after each UTSA touchdown for the "NIL Flash Give" QR code that will be displayed. The linked Runners Go Bold page will allow UTSA fans to select from three NIL collectives - 210 Inspired, City Fans 210 and Runners Rising Project - through which they can support the program's student-athletes.

UTSA also has introduced the Concessions Round Up program, in partnership with Savor and the Alamodome, to directly support student-athletes for football games this season. UTSA fans can round up their total to the nearest dollar amount to support UTSA student-athletes at participating Alamodome concession stands.

ROWDY'S REWARDING GOOD GRADES

Through UTSA Athletics' initiative to engage with local schools and reward elementary school students for their hard work in the classroom, kindergarten through fifth-grade students at participating San Antonio-area schools who have made the honor roll will receive one complimentary UTSA football ticket to remaining home games. Students will also receive a certificate of academic achievement in section 143 at the game. Family members will have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets.

San Antonio-area elementary schools interested in participating should fill out the survey for Rowdy's Rewarding Good Grades program, indicating the number of tickets they would like to request for their top scholars.
