| July 1999 Close encounters They're big, hairy and ferocious - and they want to meet you! At the Great Griz Encounter IV, the Montana Grizzlies will shake hands, autograph posters and pose for photographs. Younger fans will have the opportunity to catch passes thrown by Griz quarterbacks.
The encounter will kick off the 1999 football season on Sunday, Aug. 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. It takes place on Griz home turf, in the tailgate area north of Washington-Grizzly Stadium, and is free to the public. All UM players will be available to pose with fans for photographs and to sign posters, which are available at no charge from all vendor tables at the event. The posters bear this year's game schedule and the likenesses of 12 top Griz seniors. Grizzly cheerleaders also will be on hand, doing face-painting and passing out free tickets for a raffle of Griz merchandise. Meanwhile, individual and season tickets for the general public are on sale. The 1999 Grizzly football season kicks off Sept. 4 with a home game against South Dakota. Other home games will be: Sept. 11, Cal State Sacramento; Sept. 25, Weber State; Oct. 9, Cal State Northridge (Homecoming); Oct. 23, Eastern Washington; and Nov. 13, Idaho. For tickets or a complete football schedule and stadium seating chart, call (406) 243-4051 or (888) MONTANA. The information also can be found at http://www.umt.edu/sports/football/football.htm. |
