Official Black Out T-shirt now available for season opener
7/30/2024 12:41:00 PM | Football
After debuting in 2023, Griz football is excited to bring back a Black Out game in 2024, which will be Montana's season opener vs. Missouri State on Aug. 31 (7 p.m. kickoff).
Â
Fans are encouraged to match the team and wear black for the night game. Once again, Griz Athletics has teamed up with Universal Athletic to design the officially licensed T-shirt for the Black Out.
Â
The shirt can be purchased online or at select Missoula retailers (The M Store, SCHEELS and Universal Athletic). A portion of each sale will benefit the Grizzly Scholarship Association, which provides scholarships to Griz student-athletes.
Â
In addition to the design on the front, which features Mount Sentinel overlooking Washington-Grizzly Stadium, the back of the shirt showcases the traditional Griz script outlined in reflective print, which will stand out prominently in the night under the stadium lights.
Â
Last year's first-ever stadium-wide Black Out became an immediate fan favorite, with a pregame visit from UFC champion Suga Sean O'Malley and a postgame fireworks show. A then-record 26,978 fans watched as Montana snapped Ferris State's 28-game road winning streak.
Â
The Grizzlies wore their black uniforms twice more in 2023, but this will be the first stadium-wide Black Out since the game vs. Ferris State last September.
Â
Single-game tickets are now available for the season opener vs. Missouri State, as well as Montana's six other home games. Fans are encouraged to get their tickets now.
Â
In 2023, for only the second time in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history, all six regular-season home games reached capacity, in addition to the first-ever postseason sellout (semifinals vs. North Dakota State). Dating back to 2022, fans have sold out 10 consecutive regular-season games inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium, just one sellout shy of matching the record of 11, set from 2008-10.
Â
In addition to single-game tickets, 3-game mini plan options are currently available, as well as season tickets, which offer the best rate and guarantee access to home playoff games. Montana had a 95-percent season-ticket renewal rate and is once again pushing toward a record number of season tickets (18,761 in 2023). Coming off of a Big Sky Conference title and appearance in the FCS national championship game, Montana was picked to repeat as Big Sky champions in 2024.
