Game Week Is Here; PVAMU Panthers Prep For Rice Owls

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- Game week has arrived for Prairie View A&M University football as the Panthers get set for Saturday's 6 p.m. kickoff at Rice.

Coverage of Panthers Training Camp on pvpanthers.com is sponsored by Texas Farm Bureau Insurance. Texas Farm Bureau Members can receive free tickets to Panther home athletics contests by showing proof of membership at the PVAMU Ticket Office. Panther Nation can visit the local Texas Farm Bureau Agent in Waller to become a member today.

Tickets for Saturday's game are available online at pvpanthers.com/ricegame for only $25 for the game at Rice Stadium. Tickets can also be purchased in person at Wolf's Department Store.

The PVAMU Marching Storm, which high-stepped down Broadway and dazzled a global audience in the 2017 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, will be in the house at Rice Stadium in the season opener for both teams.

The game will be video streamed online on ESPN+, the new online portal of ESPN, at the cost of $4.99 per month. The subscription comes with a free seven day trial. The monthly subscription renews every 30 days, and would also be good to watch the Panthers – Sam Houston game on Sept. 8.

All radio broadcasts of Panthers football will be available online at pvpanthers.com/sportsnetwork with a 30 minute pregame show before each contest.

PVAMU Football officially opened game week with a light practice Sunday evening before a Monday practice at Panther Stadium.

"Practice has gone really well this week," said Panthers head coach Eric Dooley. "They have a focus that lets you know it's game week. We've come out and put a lot of focus on the mental aspect and the players have done a great job."
