Doors open at 1 p.m. with the football and soccer teams in place from 2-4 p.m.
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State hosts Fan Appreciation Day presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The day provides OSU fans with an opportunity to interact directly with players and coaches and get autographs.
Fans will be provided with football and soccer posters and schedule cards and can get autographs from the Cowboy football team from 2-4 p.m. and from the Cowgirl soccer team from 2-3:30 p.m. on the concourse level of the arena. There will be much more to do, as Pistol Pete and the OSU cheer squad – fresh off winning its fourth straight national championship – will be on hand as well. Additionally, there will be a magician, balloon artists and more.
The concourse level will be split into four zones. Zone 1 – accessible from the northwest corner of the arena with the large statue of Pistol Pete – features the offensive line and defensive line. Zone 2 – accessible from the northeast entrance to the arena – features Mike Gundy, the safeties and the Cowgirl soccer team. Zone 3 – accessible from the southeast entrance to the arena – features the running backs, cornerbacks and linebackers – and Zone 4 – accessible from the southwest corner of the arena – features the quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends and specialists.
The official hashtag to use for social media posts is #cowboystate. Fans can tweet or post videos and photos using that hashtag to be part of the social conversation for the event.
