Fan Fest will be the first opportunity for the Tiger faithful to meet the players and staff. The event will take place on Field 1 at the Murphy Athletic Complex. There will be inflatables for the children, face-painting and giveaways throughout the afternoon. Head coach Tommy West, the entire team and all of the assistant coaches will be available for autographs and photos.

Fans are asked to bring a new board game for the Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center Bunny Room. The games will be collected at the front entrance of the Murphy Complex as well as on the field.

Champion Awards, the official merchandiser for the U of M Athletic Department, will be at Fan Fest selling Tiger gear on the main field. In addition, the Highland Hundred booster club will have a table set up for anyone interested in joining the group.

On the back patio of the building, there will be a table set up for anyone looking to join Pouncer’s Pals, an organization for children 12 and under. Pouncer’s Pals members typically are invited to do a pre-game walk-through with the band and cheerleaders prior to one home football game.

Inside the Murphy Complex, the Ticket Office, Marketing Staff, M Club and Tiger Scholarship Fund will all be set up with information. The Ticket Office staff will be selling football media guides as well as taking orders for football tickets.
