On Monday, November 28, OU will host Tennessee in the first nationally-televised game inside the O'rena. This also marks the first time ESPN will be on campus to broadcast a game. The game begins at 9 p.m. but you’ll want to arrive by 7 p.m. for the pre-game pep rally and tailgate-style dinner in the Pioneer Room inside the Recreation Center (adjacent to the O’rena). Jeff Tungate, associate head coach, will also stop by to provide the “inside scoop” prior to the game. 
Packages for the OU v. Tennessee game - including admission to the pre-game dinner, game ticket, and OU spirit item - are $30 per person. Fans who already purchased their game tickets may attend the reception at a reduced rate of $15 per person. Space is limited, so register now at OUAA Events. Pending ticket availability, the registration deadline for the OU v. Tennessee pre-game event is Friday, November 18.
Next, on Saturday, December 10, OU will host Michigan at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Game time is still yet to be determined, but will be scheduled sometime between 1 and 4 p.m. that afternoon. Two hours prior to tip-off, plan to join other Grizzly fans and friends at a lunch event inside the 25,000-square-foot Pistons VIP Club. In addition to a lunch buffet, the event will also feature photo opportunities with the OU mascot, The Grizz.
Packages for the OU v. Michigan game at the Palace are available for $40 per person and include a game ticket, admission to the pre-game lunch, and OU spirit item. Fans who already have their game tickets may attend the reception at a reduced rate of $20 per person. Registration is available at OUAA Events. The deadline to register is Friday, December 2.
