BUTTE -- Montana Tech Athletics and Metals Sports Bar & Grill are teaming up to kick off a special rivalry weekend with a unique fan event this Wednesday, November 26 from 6-7:30 p.m.

This free, family-friendly event gives Oredigger fans an exclusive chance to meet all 11 first-team all-conference football players from the undefeated 11-0 Frontier Conference champions, along with players from the four-time defending conference champion men's basketball team and nationally ranked women's basketball team. Fans can take photos, get autographs, and meet some of the top student-athletes in the NAIA as we build excitement for a huge weekend on campus.

All fans who attend will receive one free ticket to Friday night's men's and women's basketball conference home-openers versus Montana Western (sponsored by Metals Sports Bar & Grill) along with $5 off a general admission ticket to Saturday's home football playoff game vs. Carroll College at 1 p.m. and chances to win Oredigger athletics apparel and memorabilia, including game-worn uniforms, autographed footballs and basketballs, and Oredigger gear and prizes. Winners will be drawn throughout Friday night's conference basketball doubleheader.

This is your chance to celebrate our historic undefeated football season, support two nationally ranked basketball programs, bring the kids for autographs and pictures, get special ticket deals for the biggest weekend of the year, and win exclusive Montana Tech Athletics gear.

Let's pack Metals on Wednesday, Valley Bank Arena on Friday, and Alumni Coliseum on Saturday as we kick off the most exciting rivalry weekend in Oredigger history.
