Liberty Athletics will hold its fourth annual Flames Fan Fest event on Saturday, August 22 in conjunction with the football program's only open practice during preseason training camp.
Williams Stadium gates will open at 6 p.m. for the event and the team will scrimmage from 7 to 8 p.m. The event is free of charge and open to the general public. Many of Liberty's traditional game day activities will be available to fans, including the Kid Zone play areas. Fans are also encouraged to participate in tailgating prior to the event.
Following the scrimmage, Liberty Athletics will hold an autograph and photo session on the concourse level of Williams Stadium. Head Coach Turner Gill and his staff will be available for autographs and photos directly following the scrimmage, followed shortly thereafter by the student-athletes. The meet-and-greet session will run for approximately an hour.
In addition, the Liberty Flames Sports Network will be doing a two hour radio show around the event, starting at 7 p.m. The 88.3 Journey FM broadcast will cover the scrimmage, plus provide post-practice interviews with head coach Turner Gill and players. Affiliate stations in Virginia and North Carolina can be found at www.liberty.edu/thejourney/wherecanilisten/. Alan York will host the show along with former Flames offensive lineman Matt Camire and Jamie Hall.
