The UTC football home opener is upon us and there is a lot going on leading up to the Mocs big game against UT Martin on Saturday.  Below is a timeline of activities, along with links to tons of general information about game day at Finley Stadium.

Two of the biggest items of note during pregame are the  http://www.gomocs.com/news/2017/9/4/football-mocs-block-tailgate-concert-series.aspxMocs Block Tailgate Concert, powered by EPB Fiber Optics and presented by iHeart Media, and the opening of the Stadium Plaza before the game.  Walker Hayes is playing this week's concert, which takes place on Chestnut Street on the east side of the stadium by the scoreboard. 

The Stadium Plaza is the area inside the stadium above the locker rooms.  Fans can enjoy pregame beer, beverages and food from Bud Light, Pucketts, Rolling J's, Bones and 2 Sons.  This area opens at 1:00 p.m. and is a great spot to watch the Moc Walk as the team goes under the pedestrian bridge to the locker room.   

There are a lot of new food options inside the stadium.  Check out this article in Chattanooga Magazine that showcases what is new with concession at Finley Stadium. 
Check out the timeline and helpful links below as you get ready for Saturday's showdown with the Skyhawks.  Bring all of your friends and come cheer on the Mocs at Finley Stadium.
