MEMPHIS, TENN. - The Tiger football team will conclude its spring session with the Blue-Gray Game on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The pre-game awards ceremony will begin at approximately 12:45 p.m., with the scrimmage to follow.

The interior stadium parking lot will be reserved for UM staff and coaches, and will require a pass for admittance. Fans can park in the lot closest to the Mid-South Coliseum and on the north side of the stadium in the Armory lot. Gates 1 and 4 will be open at 11 a.m. to enter the stadium. Concession stands will not be open on Saturday, but fans are allowed to bring in coolers with beverages and food.

From 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., Tiger fans will be able to pick their seats and purchase season tickets for the upcoming 2008 season. Anyone interested in purchasing tickets can visit the tent that will be located at the front office of the Liberty Bowl off Hollywood. Cheerleaders and members of the Tiger Scholarship Fund staff will escort fans to the seats around the stadium and tickets can be purchased from the Ticket Office staff inside the main office. No cash will be accepted on site but fans are welcome to pay with Visa, Mastercard, Discover and checks.

There are two Early Bird specials again this season to encourage fans to purchase season tickets by May 30th. All fans who order or renew their football season tickets from April 15 - May 30 will receive a free Tiger tailgate stool. Only one stool will be given per season ticket account. In addition, in that same timeframe, anyone who orders or renews their tickets online will receive a complimentary copy of the 2008 Football Media Guide. Fans are eligible for both offers.
