Dear colleagues,
We are gearing up for the season 15 of the Student Life Game Day Partners (GDPs) program, a vital initiative that supports our students and adds to the energetic atmosphere of our home games. Many of our Student Life staff participated last year, contributing to a tremendous success. We aim to continue this momentum and maintain a strong presence in Bryant-Denny Stadium during UA home games.
The Game Day Partners program identifies staff willing to engage and interact with our students in the stadium’s student section and at the student ticket gate. In doing so, we are not asking you to police the students; we are asking you to be present in the student section as students locate their seats before kickoff. GDPs will be assigned a partner and serve as a resource during the game by responding to general questions and concerns.
GDPs working in the student section will arrive at the stadium 110 minutes before kickoff and stay until the end of the game. GDPs will receive a stadium section assignment. GDP working ticket access at the student gate will arrive at the stadium three hours before kickoff and stay until the first quarter begins. All GDPs will receive a lower bowl student ticket to sit in the Student Section, a Student Life golf polo (short sleeve and long sleeve) and supplemental pay of $100 per game.
All additional information about Game Day Partners will be provided in a brief, mandatory training session at Bryant Denny Stadium on August 20, 2024, time to be announced at a later date.
If you’re interested in being a Game Day Partner, you can choose the games you want to work throughout the season. This flexibility allows you to balance your work and personal commitments. The deadline to sign up for Game Day Partners is Monday, August 12, 2024.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at dhargrea@ua.edu.
I appreciate your consideration, and Roll Tide!
Darrell Hargreaves
