ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot is back for its 35^th season, kicking off the 2021 campaign in Atlanta for the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff on Saturday, August 28 (9 a.m. - noon ET). As we prepare for what will be another momentous season, we are also happy to share that we are welcoming fans back to our shows each and every Saturday.
 
As part of our Week 0 show, we’d like to extend the invitation for college football fans, including those from NC Central and Alcorn State, to come out to Center Parc Stadium. In being a part of the GameDay experience, fans will:

• Have the opportunity to rep their school/sorority/fraternity/favorite sports team in front of a live television audience
• Secure free swag through various sponsor giveaways
• Create and show their signs –the best signs will be shown on-air!

The first 1,000 fans that arrive at College GameDay will also get a free ticket to attend the game later that evening. It is recommended that fans arrive prior to 9 a.m. for the chance to obtain a free game ticket. A wristband will need to be picked up at the ESPN Events tent within the College GameDay footprint. The wristband can then be brought to any ticket gate after 12:30 p.m. for exchange of a game ticket.
