The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletic department is holding an "Under the Weather" promotion today for new football season tickets.
The weather was in the 80s on Thursday, with the low in the 60s. The athletic department will post the "official" temperatures this morning on its Twitter and Facebook accounts. Whatever the official high temperature is will be the price of a reserved season ticket, while the low temperature will be the price of a general-admission season ticket.
UTC Mocs logoThe special pricing is only for today.
Normally, general admission costs $75 for a season, while reserved chairback season tickets are priced at $125, so there could be a considerable price slash today.
The Mocs, ranked No. 8 in the nation, have a five-game home schedule, starting with a game against No. 7 Jacksonville State.
