Chamber hosts pregame UWF tailgate party

Posted on August 29, 2016

The Greater Pensacola Chamber is teaming up with Pensacola Sports to kick off University of West Florida (UWF) football’s inaugural season with a tailgate prior to the first home game at Blue Wahoos Stadium.

Beginning at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, Argonaut fans will have the opportunity to mingle with UWF Athletic Director Dave Scott and enjoy tailgate food, sodas, beer, yard games and outdoor shade and seating. The tailgate wraps up at 5:30 p.m. prior to kickoff at 6 p.m. against Missouri University Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), a member of the NCAA II Great Lakes Valley Conference.

“As a former collegiate football player, I am ecstatic to welcome football to Pensacola,” said Clay Ingram, Greater Pensacola Chamber President & CEO. “UWF is a strong driver of our community and football will bring more than games – income for local businesses, visitors to the area and an overall positive impact on the economy. I am excited to root for the UWF football team this season and for many seasons to come. Go Argos!”

The tailgate is open to the public but registration is required. The cost for Chamber and Pensacola Sports members is $20 and $25 for non-members and the general public. Register online at PensacolaChamber.com/Events. Walk-ins are welcome.
