STILLWATER – Oklahoma State hosts Academy Sports and Outdoors Fan Day from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The day provides OSU fans with an opportunity to interact directly with players and coaches and get autographs.
Fans can get autographs from the Cowboy football and Cowgirl soccer teams from 2-4 p.m. on the concourse level of the arena, but there will be much more to do, as Pistol Pete and the OSU cheer squad – fresh off winning its fourth straight national championship – will be on hand as well. Additionally, there will be a magician, a face-painter, balloon artists and more.
Some logistical information:
Time of the event
The doors to Gallagher-Iba Arena will open at 1 p.m. The football and soccer teams will be in place for autographs from 2-4 p.m.
Parking
The best place to park is the south lot of Boone Pickens Stadium, but lots will be open all over campus.
Entering the arena
Fans can enter the arena from any of the standard basketball gameday entry points and proceed up to the concourse.

Fans can pick up an OSU football poster or schedule card upon entry into the arena and may also bring in helmets, jerseys or other items to be signed. Players and coaches will have Sharpies and will sign one item per fan.
Photos
Photos with the players and coaches are not permitted in order to keep the lines moving and provide as many fans direct access to as many members of the team as possible.
