1) Flood Relief: Eagle Nation is encouraged to bring a little extra cash to each of the next two games to donate to the Louisiana Flood Relief Fund. Donations will be accepted at each of the next two home games (Sept. 17 and Oct. 27) and a check will be presented to UL Lafayette officials at that Thursday night game to be donated to the relief fund to help out all those who were affected by the flooding in Louisiana. Donations will also be taken at every home volleyball and soccer match between now and Nov. 10.

2) Big Night of Recognition: It's Hall of Fame Weekend, GATA Club Reunion and the Night of Champions! Over 300 former student-athletes are scheduled to be in town to be recognized by the department. In addition, the seven new inductees to the Athletic Hall of Fame will be introduced at halftime.

3) Programs: This year, the FLIGHT game programs will be given away at no cost! Be sure to pick up this commemorative souvenir in both book stores, the two information tents and by students walking the around stadium. 

4) LOUD NOISES: Fans should be aware that fireworks are used during the game. Fireworks produce loud concussion booms and flashes of light. Fans should be cautious during the game of the fireworks and loud booms. Please bring earmuffs for younger patrons if you feel they need them.

5) New Student Entrance: Student gates for football games are now 1 and 15. Gate 15 is new and is located off Malecki Drive. Gate 13 is no longer a student entrance and Gate 2 is a public entrance. REMEMBER STUDENTS, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR EAGLE ID TO RECEIVE FREE ENTRY TO THE GAME!!!! 

6) Handicap Parking: The handicap parking lot by the Cowart Ticket Building is for handicap Eagle Fund members who have paid for a spot in that lot. These are the only handicap parking spots in the assigned areas around Paulson Stadium. Others who need handicap parking may park in handicap spots around campus with their valid handicap hangtag or credentials in plain view. All shuttle buses are handicap accessible and are free to ride. Buses begin transportation 2 1/2 hours before kickoff and go an hour after the game ends. 

7) Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.: The Eagle Walk is at 4:15 p.m. and gates open 90 minutes before. Get there early to see Freedom's Flight, the team take the field and the opening kickoff. YOU can make Paulson Stadium an intimidating environment for UL Monroe, so get there early and BE LOUD!! The ticket office can sell tickets online and at the bookstore the day of the game, so it's never too late to get a ticket and come out!

8) Once You're In, You're In: There is no re-entry to Paulson Stadium without an unused game ticket. Once you leave the stadium, you can not come back in.
