The Aggies play another away game, Sept. 7 at San Diego, before the home opener, Saturday, Sept. 14 vs. Lehigh. As that game approaches, UC Davis Athletics announced two ticket deals for staff and faculty (one for season tickets, the other for the Lehigh game), and Staff Assembly announced it will host a free tailgate before the Lehigh game.

  • Season tickets (five games) — $120 per reserved seat, a 33 percent discount. See the home schedule below.
  • Home opener vs. Lehigh, 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day — Two free tickets, with the option of buying additional tickets at $10 apiece for your guests.

You can access both ticket offers here; use promo code STAFFAGGIES. Note: Sept. 14 is also Youth Day, when tickets are free for ages 13 and under; use promo code: YOUTHAGGIES.

The Staff Assembly Tailgate, starting at 5 p.m. before the Lehigh game Sept. 14, is for staff and their families — and will be Staff Assembly's second annual pregame party. The staff organization will be serving hot dogs and turkey dogs, chips and drinks, and conducting prize drawings in which you could win an invite for you and your family to sit with Chancellor Gary S. May and LeShelle May in their box seats, for a quarter; or a Disneyland vacation. More information on the tailgate is available on the Staff Assembly website.
