The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team heads to Miller Plaza on Friday, Sept. 9, at 12:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) for a Pep Rally hosted by the River City Company. The UTC Marching Band, Cheerleaders, Sugar Mocs and Scrappy will all join head coach Russ Huesman and selected members of the team to get fans ready for Saturday's home-opener against No. 10 Jacksonville State.
Miller Plaza is located on the corner of Market Street and MLK Blvd. in Downtown Chattanooga.
The Mocs host the 10th-ranked Gamecocks on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. in Finley Stadium. With Chattanooga listed at No. 23 in this week's top-25, this will be the first regular season game between two ranked teams in Finley Stadium history.
A huge crowd is expected and fans are encouraged to buy tickets early. The Chattanooga Coca-Cola Bottling Company is offering $8 print at home tickets on GoMocs.com to help avoid the long lines on game day. Just use the 'restore' code when purchasing single game tickets.
The box office at the St. Elmo gate at Finley Stadium will also be open on Friday from Noon to 5:00 p.m. for fans wanting easy access to purchase tickets.
Season tickets are still on sale on GoMocs.com, or by calling the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266-MOCS (6627). Chattanooga is less than 20 season tickets away from breaking last year's all-time sales record of 2,676. Season tickets start at $32 for youth, alumni, faculty and staff.
