Season ticket sales for the Chattanooga Mocs 2011 football home schedule topped the 2,000 mark for the third year in a row today. With one month left before the season-opener at Nebraska, the University is pushing toward its school record of 2,676 sold in 2010.
This is the fifth time in school history over 2,000 season tickets have been purchased, including 2,300 in 1997 and 2003 in 1998. The earliest Chattanooga has hit the 2,000 mark came last year on July 29. In 2009, the first year under Head Coach Russ Huesman, the Mocs hit 2,000 on Aug. 18 and finished with a then school benchmark of 2,527.
After opening the year at home in each of the last two seasons, the Mocs will have an additional week of sales before the first home game against preseason top-10 Jacksonville State. Kickoff against the Gamecocks is set for 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 10.
Season tickets start at $32 for youth, alumni and UTC faculty and staff. Fans can order online on GoMocs.com, at the UTC Ticket Office in McKenzie Arena or by calling (423) 266-MOCS (6627).
