All KCS employees will receive free admission to the 2 p.m. game on Sunday, August 24, by showing their KCS ID at the gate. Families and friends are encouraged to join; additional tickets may be purchased at the box office to ensure groups can sit together. Children ages four and up will need a ticket.

This event is made possible through a partnership between Knox County Schools and the UTK Bailey Graduate College of Education.
