Zoo Crew is not only the name of Montana's student section, but it's an exclusive membership that is only available to current UM students. We want our loudest and proudest students to show their Griz pride by being part of this membership!
By becoming a member, you will have access to opportunities that aren't available to students not involved in Zoo Crew.
Memberships for the 2026-27 year are now open for purchase, and are good from the date of purchase through June 30, 2027.
Be sure to follow us on Instagram – @MontanaZooCrew and @UMGRIZZLIES – to stay up to date on all things Zoo Crew and Griz Athletics!
As a reminder, UM students get free tickets to all regular-season Griz Athletics events!
