Join Haven sports fans on Saturday, August 31st, for an afternoon of college football! Haven is buying a block of seats at the Cal home opener against the UC Davis Aggies. Kickoff is at 3:30 pm (come early for the Cal Band pregame show!) Be sure to wear blue and gold - no red allowed. :)
Tickets are $15 and will be distributed before the game, once purchased through Eventbrite. Once you purchase your ticket through eventbrite, please email Kim so she can arrange to get the ticket itself to you.
If you are interested in the Free Cal Band Pep Rally (and maybe skipping the football game), come see our son, Josh, play the tuba in the Cal Band. The Band has a free pep rally in Sproul Plaza at ~1:30 pm. After the rally, the Cal Band and fans march up to Memorial Stadium with various sections enacting their traditions of weirdness. You are welcome to join the DeWitt family as we enjoy the pep rally and Josh struts his stuff as a tuba player (we'll likely be left of the band on the grass). The approximate walking distance for the march up to the stadium is 0.5 miles and is mostly uphill. No need to go to the game after the rally if you’re not interested, or if you like, you can enter the stadium with the DeWitts at this time.
If you are attending the game, kick off is at 3:30 pm! As discussed above, the DeWitt family will be following the band and be in their seats by 3 pm for the band's pregame show inside the stadium. The best gate to enter for our ticket block is Gate 1. The stadium has a clear bag policy (linked here); backpacks and non-clear bags are not allowed. Food and drinks are available for sale inside the stadium. The weather will be warm on Saturday, so don’t forget sunscreen/hats and a light layer for the evening. As a reminder, red is a forbidden color in Memorial Stadium as the rivalry between Cal and Stanford is intense (ask previous attendees about the ramifications of representing the wrong team/color on their social lives).
Ask Kim if you have questions or for more information.
