Arizona Football training camp is officially underway, the anticipation is already in the air, and the excitement is developing to September 5th when the Wildcats will “Let The Games Begin” at Arizona Stadium.
The countdown to the 2009 season has begun and The University of Arizona’s season advertising campaign has kicked off. “Let the Games Start” is this year’s advertising slogan, which plays to the growing anticipation that Arizona players, coaches and all fans share as the Wildcats appear to back up their 2008 Las Vegas Bowl victory season.
Arizona fans can get an exclusive initial look at this year’s football television commercial on ArizonaWildcats.com, the official athletics web site for Arizona Athletics. Featured in the video is a quartet of UA’s best returning players, including offensive standouts Nic Grigsby (five) and Rob Gronkowski (48) along with defensive stalwarts Cam Nelson (20) and Xavier Kelley (15).
This year, for the initial time, a totally free downloadable official ringtone is being created available for a extremely limited time. This is offered exclusively through net banners posted on quite a few web sites.
The Wildcats open a six-game house slate on September five against Central Michigan, a program that has appeared in three consecutive bowl games. UA will welcome the Lumberjacks from Northern Arizona a week later on September 12, and host four Pac-ten teams – Stanford, UCLA, Washington State and Oregon – later in the season.
Arizona has posted a 7-two mark in its last nine home games, with the two losses coming by a combined nine points to No. 6 USC and No. 21 Oregon State in 2008. In the course of the nine-game span that dates back to the end of the 2007 season, Arizona has outscored opponents 327-155 in Arizona Stadium, or by an average score of 36-17. Additionally, Arizona won five property games in a season (’08) for the very first time since 1998. Since 1950, the Cats have won 5 games at home 15 occasions. Arizona was ideal at house twice in that span, 6- in 1961 and 6- in 1993.
Fans can acquire 2009 season tickets by means of the McKale Ticket Office, by telephone at (520) 621-CATS, or on the internet at ArizonaWildcats.com. For Wildcat fans who cannot make it to all six residence games in the 2009 football season, Arizona Athletics is offering up the Arizona Football Flex Pack. Individual game tickets are also on sale now.
