Baylor's football team will hold its annual "Meet the Bears" day Saturday, Aug. 19, at 4 p.m. at Floyd Casey Stadium. The event is free and will include a team autograph session, Select-a-Seat for season tickets and will conclude with a team practice.

The autograph session will begin at 4 p.m. in the locker room and will conclude at 5:30 p.m. Fans can enter the locker room through the north end zone entrance located by the Floyd Casey Stadium ticket office. Schedule posters and schedule cards will be available, but fans will be limited to two autographed items per player.

Fans will be able to "Select-a-Seat" throughout the autograph session and team scrimmage. Seats available for season tickets will be marked and the tags can be taken to the ticket office for purchase of that seat. The ticket office will be open until 6:30 p.m. to process ticket orders.

The Bears open their season Sunday Sept. 3 when they host TCU at 4:30 p.m. The game will be televised live on Fox Sports Net.
