There will now be two “Cat Walks,” instead of one, prior to the start of every Kentucky home game this season, according to Kentucky Sports Radio.
The “Cat Walk” serves as an important pregame ritual for Wildcats football fans.
From the report:
There will now be TWO Cat Walks, the first taking place when the team buses pull onto campus from the hotel. It will still take place in front of Gate 1 two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff, but the team will proceed past Gate 1 down the path between the stadium and the Nutter Field House to their new locker room at the football training center:
… A SECOND Cat Walk will take place 75 minute before kickoff when the team makes its way from the locker room at the football training center through the plaza and into the stadium in Gate 12. The team will leave the football training center in groups and the entire process is expected to take about 30 minutes. Fans are encouraged to line the path and cheer players on as they enter the stadium.
In addition, UK has announced that it will offer some new dining options within the stadium this year:
Some new dining options are added in stadium including bourbon ice cream, hot brown nachos, pork chop sandwiches, pulled pork nachos.
