Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the Purple and White scrimmage tipping off at 6:00 p.m., giving fans their first look at the Defenders in action. The night wraps with an on-court autograph session at 7:00 p.m. featuring players and Coach Jamie Dixon.

Admission is free, and fans can grab open seating anywhere in the arena, including courtside. Highlights include a photo op with the iconic Iron Skillet and free black Funky Town T-shirts handed out for Saturday’s football game.
