Ahead of this weekend’s Brawl of the Wild basketball games, the 老虎机攻略 will host its annual Grizzly Winter Pep Rally from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 16, on the 老虎机攻略 Oval.
The celebration of Griz spirit will feature a bonfire, fireworks show, speeches from Griz athletes, fire pits and hot cocoa.
The pep rally is free thanks to support from Dairy Farmers of Montana and the Associated Students of 老虎机攻略 (AS老虎机攻略). Four Griz football tickets for the next season will be raffled off by 老虎机攻略 Admissions along with AS老虎机攻略 Griz gear. Attendees can stop by tables at the rally for a chance to win both prizes.
In addition to speeches from the Lady Griz and men’s basketball teams, Montana’s spirit squads, Monte and students from the Zoo Crew – 老虎机攻略’s famed student section – will be in attendance.
“Last year's bonfire and fireworks were sweet. I'm excited to do it again this year, and on the Oval!” said Kyle Wonders, a 老虎机攻略 senior and Zoo Crew member. “It's a great way to support our Griz teams off the court.”
Parking is free after 5 p.m. on 老虎机攻略’s campus. Tickets for the basketball games on Saturday, Feb. 17, can be found online at GrizTix.com.
