The first 500 fans at the First Tennessee Pavilion on the corner of Carter and 20th Streets will receive a free lunch courtesy of Longhorn Steakhouse consisting of hot dogs, chili and chips with beverages provided by Coca-Cola. The lunch will be available around 11:30 a.m. and will coincide with a Mocs football player autograph session.

The lunch and autograph session will be preceded by a Mocs football situational practice, which will take place at 10 a.m. at Finley Stadium. The practice is free and open to the public and will include the UTC Marching Mocs marching band, cheerleaders and the Sugar Mocs dance team.

Following practice, the football squad will move to the Pavilion for the autograph session, and free team photo posters will be available for all in attendance. Inflatable games for the youngsters and televisions for viewing will also be in the Pavilion, which is the tailgating headquarters for all Mocs’ games. Information will also be available about the new UTC Mocs Club, the official fundraising arm of Chattanooga Athletics.

The Mocs open the season Aug. 30 at No. 4 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. Season tickets and single-game tickets are available by visiting GoMocs.com or by calling the box office at 423-266-6627.
