LITTLE ROCK – Once again, Trojan fans are invited to help kick start the 2019-20 Little Rock athletic season at the 2019 Little Rock Trojans Day, taking place Thursday, August 22 from 5-8 p.m.
"Little Rock Trojans Day has become an event we look forward to at the beginning of each new athletic season to bring our student-athletes, coaches, fans and supporters together to celebrate being Trojans," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics
Chasse Conque. "This year's event will be the first with our 'We Are One' initiative and having a block party to bring everyone together seems like a perfect way to head into the new season."
For the third-straight year, Little Rock is teaming up with the 3rd Street Sector Merchants Association with Dugan's Pub, located at the corner of Rock and 3rd Streets, serving as the host venue for the block party. The event has proved to be a great success over the last two years with a large contingent of Trojan fans joining the department downtown.
Little Rock will once again team up with 103.7 The Buzz that evening as part of the station's afternoon show Drive Time Sports, broadcasting live on site from the downtown event. Hosted by Randy Rainwater, a number of Trojan head coaches will be featured during the show from 4-7 p.m. that evening.
The Trojans will be represented by student-athletes and coaches from its athletic programs, as well as the Little Rock dance team and pep band. The event will provide opportunities for fans to take pictures and get to know their favorite Little Rock student-athletes. In addition, the downtown bridges will be lit maroon that night to help promote Little Rock's team.
Season tickets for the 2019-20 Trojan men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the 2019 volleyball season and inaugural wrestling season, are currently available by calling the Little Rock Athletic ticket office at 565-8257. The Little Rock basketball Sun Belt Conference schedules are expected to be released next week with the non-conference schedule following shortly thereafter.
