They’ve also achieved a remarkable 11 consecutive home wins at the Convocation Center, showcasing their dominance right where they play. Don’t miss the chance to cheer them on and add your energy to the stands!

A Community Partnership That Matters

This event is part of a broader initiative known as Salute to Hometown Heroes. It reflects the strong partnership between UTSA Athletics and UT Health San Antonio, the official healthcare partner for the Roadrunners’ athletic programs. A dedicated team of medical professionals, including team physicians and orthopaedic surgeons, are behind the scenes ensuring our athletes stay healthy and ready to perform.

Exciting Future Collaborations

But wait, there’s more! UTSA has exciting plans lined up not just for this February event but for the upcoming Homecoming football game against Florida Atlantic on October 19. UT Health San Antonio students can grab guest tickets for only $12. This October event will also be part of Family Weekend and will feature enhanced experiences for military families, sponsored by USAA, who serve as the Official Military Appreciation Partner of UTSA Athletics.

Giving Back to Our Heroes

USAA is not just about words; they’re making an impact! Their “Points for Patriots” program donates to the UTSA Center for Service Connected Students based on our athletic teams’ achievements. Active military members and veterans can enjoy a 15% discount on tickets for UTSA games through USAA, showing just how much appreciation there is for those who serve.

Celebrating Academic Achievements

In a delightful twist, a new initiative called “Rowdy’s Rewarding Good Grades” aims to inspire local elementary students to excel academically. Thanks to this program, students who achieve their goals in school will be rewarded with complimentary football tickets. Isn’t that a win-win opportunity?

Join the Fun!
