Washington-Grizzly Stadium is once again set to host The Great Griz Encounter and family movie night on Friday, August 23, with the traditional preseason Griz football pep rally highlighting a full evening of activity for fans.
Â
The Great Griz Encounter gives fans the chance to meet both the Montana football and volleyball teams, have this year's team posters autographed, let the kids run wild with a bouncy house and games area, and take in a movie on the big screen.
Â
Bring your blankets or lawn chairs for the second-ever movie night in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Following the autograph session, the evening will finish under the bright lights of the Griz Vision jumbotron with the showing of Captain Marvel.
Â
Fans can also pick up the latest Griz gear from officially licensed apparel vendors and enjoy a wide selection of local food and beverages while taking in the atmosphere at one of the best college football settings in the nation.
Â
The fun begins at 5 p.m. when gates to the stadium open, followed by the introduction of the football and volleyball teams at 5:30.
Â
The two teams will sign autographs from 5:45-7 p.m. and the Captain Marvel will start at 7:30.
Prior to the start of the Great Griz Encounter, fans are encouraged to make it a full day on campus by attending the volleyball's team's exhibition match vs. North Dakota (noon in the West Auxiliary Gym). Following the match, the team will hold a free youth clinic, leading into the Great Griz Encounter that evening. The exhibition match and youth clinic are also free.
