TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona Athletics and Arizona Football today announced a jam-packed promotional schedule for the upcoming 2021 season, the inaugural campaign for head coach Jedd Fisch.

Arizona will play six home games at Arizona Stadium in 2021, including visits from Pac-12 foes UCLA, Washington, California, and Utah. Tickets for all home games are available for purchase now and can be secured by clicking HERE.

Highlights of the 2021 promotional schedule include a pregame concert for the home opener on Sept. 11, Family Weekend on Oct. 9 versus UCLA, Homecoming on Nov. 6 versus California, and Senior Day on Nov. 13 versus Utah.

Critically-acclaimed country music artist Phil Vassar will perform as part of the pregame festivities for Arizona Football's home opener versus San Diego State on Saturday, Sept. 11. Vassar will perform on the University of Arizona Mall and perform from his catalogue of signature songs that features 10 number one singles and 26 top-40 hits, including "Carlene", "Just Another Day in Paradise", "Sick-Pack Summer," and "When I Love You" among others.

Making a return in 2021 is the fan-favorite Cat Cruiser, a Phoenix to Tucson shuttle service. Simplify your gameday travel from Phoenix to Tucson and ride the convenient Cat Cruiser. We'll take care of the driving, drop you close to the stadium, and navigate post-game for you. You can focus on having fun when you ride with us on a private air-conditioned motor-coach that will shuttle you to and from Phoenix in style. Two bus routes — each route with two convenient pick-up locations. The cost is $25 per person, per game. Take advantage of the Bundle Pack for $120 that serves as a season pass for all 6 Arizona home games and save $30. Fans can begin booking their reservations on the Cat Cruiser on Monday, Aug. 16.
