Memorable Experiences Await Cal Fans At FTX Field At California Memorial Stadium
BERKELEY - Cal football fans will have plenty of exciting reasons to be in attendance at California Memorial Stadium in 2022. The long list is highlighted by special giveaways, including a Cameron Jordan Bobblehead and Replica Axe for the first 10,000 fans through the gates at each of the Golden Bears' final two home contests against Stanford and UCLA.
Special ticket offers for healthcare workers, scouts and teachers will be available, respectively, for the first three contests (UC Davis, UNLV, Arizona), while another one will be available to youth sports organizations for the regular-season finale against the Bruins.Â
The home schedule also includes traditional events including Homecoming (Arizona), the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame Game (Washington), and the Joe Roth Game/Senior Day (UCLA).
In addition, the Bears will celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Play and the 125th Big Game against Stanford as well "Joe Starkey Day" against UCLA - honoring longtime radio broadcaster Joe Starkey, who will retire at the end of the season after 48 years calling Cal games.
