The start of a new Arizona football season marks the return of Wildcat Fridays beginning Friday, Sept. 4. Fans can join in by wearing red and blue on the Fridays before Arizona football games in this campus tradition that unites faculty, staff and students in a show of spirit and Wildcat pride. The connection to Wildcat spirit is amplified this year as we celebrate 100 years of Bear Down.

On Wildcat Fridays before home games (see dates below), university employees can take advantage of a 25% discount on all University of Arizona logo clothing and gifts. The discounts are available online and in person at the Campus Store's Student Union location and the A-Store at McKale Memorial Center.
