Gates will open at 3:30 p.m. for the “Varsity Bears High School Takeover,” which includes activities for the family as well as a Bears practice session. Practice is scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to about 7:45 p.m. The evening wraps up with fireworks at 8:15 p.m.
Entry is free but attendees need to reserve a mobile ticket in advance, and availability is limited. Tickets are delivered via cell phone mobile device only and must be presented on your cell phone/mobile device for entry.
Seating is first-come, first-served, and there are a limited number of bleacher seats, but lawn chairs will be allowed in designated areas.
