ARLINGTON – While fans are not permitted at the College Park Center to begin this year, you can still be present – in cardboard form!
 
UT Arlington Athletics is encouraging fans to join The Blaze Brigade – a cardboard cutout support group which will be present in the CPC for Maverick games to help fill the seats and create a better-looking environment for our student-athletes.
 
All UTA home games this year will be broadcast live on ESPN+ and available on demand to allow for fans to be on the lookout for their cutout.
 
Proceeds from the cutouts will directly benefit UTA's 220+ student-athletes through the Maverick Club, helping to offset the cost of scholarships, tutoring, nutrition and additional expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Price Levels
$50 option includes:
– Personal cutout (signed by the UTA head coach of your choice)
 
$30 option includes:
– Personal cutout
 
Additionally, a special UTA student price to join The Blaze Brigade will be available shortly, with additional information to be released later this month.
 
UTA Athletics has created a Photo Submission Guide to provide fans with the proper guidelines to ensure your cardboard cutout will look great in the CPC. Fans are strongly encouraged to read the guide prior to submitting their photo.
