Reminder: Saturday is Heroes Day at Kroger Field

Saturday will be an important day for Mark Stoops and his family as Kentucky hosts his hometown Youngstown State Penguins just one week after Stoops broke Bear Bryant’s all-time wins record. It’s also Heroes Day at Kroger Field. Active duty military, police, fire, and first responders and frontline healthcare workers can receive one complimentary ticket to the game in addition to specially priced guest tickets at UKathletics.com/GovX, while supplies last. Kentucky will recognize members of Heroes Day groups throughout the game.

Some other gameday reminders if you’re planning to be at Kroger Field on Saturday…

• All tickets are mobile – As in years past, every ticket to Kroger Field must be accessed through your phone. You can manage tickets through TicketMaster, the UK Athletics app or by visiting UKathletics.com/MyUKAccount. Download the tickets to your iPhone’s wallet before you go to avoid any WiFi delays. If you are desperate for WiFi, there are WiFi Help Zones outside the UK ticket office and at gates 1, 4, 9 and 12.
• Clear Bag Policy in effect
• KSBar will open early – Due to the early kickoff, KSBar will open at 10 a.m. Come on by to get some breakfast before heading to the game.
• The Lextran Gameday Shuttle WILL stop by KSBar – The smartest play of the day is catching the Lextran Gameday Shuttle at KSBar. The shuttle starts two hours before kickoff and ends one hour after the game. It costs $1 each way.
• Cat Walk at 9:45 a.m. – Gather near Talbott Todd Way and Gate 1 to cheer the Cats on as they arrive approximately 2:15 before kickoff.
