BYUtv to broadcast a special edition of BYU Sports Nation live from Arizona Fan Fest
Coaches and athletes from BYU sports teams will be in Arizona on Saturday, May 5, for a BYU Fan Fest being conducted at Pioneer Park in Mesa.
Fans are encouraged to attend the free event that takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. MST at Pioneer Park (located at 526 E Main St, Mesa, AZ 85203). Fans will have the chance to interact with the coaches and student-athletes, including getting autographs and taking photos, while also enjoying other games and festivities such as a balloon artist, free face painting, inflatables, team posters and other BYU prizes.
Sponsored by America First Credit Union and Quick Quack Car Wash, the Fan Fest will feature members of the BYU football, men’s basketball, women's basketball, women’s volleyball, women's soccer and women’s gymnastics teams. Cosmo and the BYU cheer squad will also be on hand to meet and greet fans.
More than a dozen members of the BYU football team will be participating in the Fan Fest, including head coach Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes. The football team will come to Arizona again in September to open the 2018 season against the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson on Sept. 1.
BYUtv will also be in Arizona on Saturday to bring all of Cougar Nation a live look at the atmosphere and festivities of the Fan Fest in a special two-hour BYU Sports Nation broadcast on BYUtv and BYU Radio/Sirius XM 143. The special broadcast will feature interviews by Jarom Jordan and Spencer Linton with BYU coaches and athletes. The two-hour broadcast begins at 11 a.m. MST/PDT (noon MDT, 1 p.m. CDT, 2 p.m. EDT).
BYU Store fan merchandise and BYU food concessions, including Cougar Tails and BYU Creamery ice cream, will also be available.
This is the sixth-straight season BYU has traveled to conduct Fan Fest events at various locations. BYU Fan Fests provide fans the opportunity to meet BYU coaches and athletes in similar fashion to the annual August Cougar Kickoff held each year in Provo for local fans.
