With Arizona Football coming off its bye week and the University of Arizona hosting its annual Homecoming celebrations, this weekend is a perfect time to join us at Arizona Stadium.

We've seen terrific crowds all season at Arizona Stadium, including our sellout crowd on hand for Oregon on Family Weekend. Coach Fisch and our student-athletes have spoken glowingly about the impact our crowd can have on the atmosphere of our home games. There's a dynamic energy that fills the stadium when the Wildcat Family is loud and proud in the stands. I look forward to seeing all our tremendous alumni, fans and supporters on Saturday afternoon! Bear Down and Go Cats!
