Kentucky Football is BACK.
UK Athletics plans to open up Kroger Field to fans at full capacity when the Wildcats’ 2021 season kicks off Sept. 4 against Louisiana-Monroe. Along with a full stadium, Mitch Barnhart expects classic gameday traditions like tailgating to return as well, making the football season feel normal once again.
“Coming off three straight bowl wins and the enthusiasm for the team that Coach Stoops is putting together, we couldn’t be more eager for the upcoming season,” said Mitch Barnhart, UK Director of Athletics. “With an exciting lineup of opponents, and anticipating the return of bands, cheerleaders, tailgating and everything that goes along with college football Saturdays, we’re planning for great times at Kroger Field this fall.
