Washington-Grizzly Stadium is once again set to host The Great Griz Encounter and family movie night on Friday, August 23, with the traditional preseason Griz football pep rally highlighting a full evening of activity for fans.
The Great Griz Encounter gives fans the chance to meet both the Montana football and volleyball teams, have this year’s team posters autographed, let the kids run wild with a bouncy house and games area, and take in a movie on the big screen.
Bring your blankets or lawn chairs for the second-ever movie night in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Following the autograph session, the evening will finish under the bright lights of the Griz Vision jumbotron with the showing of Captain Marvel.
Fans can also pick up the latest Griz gear from officially licensed apparel vendors and enjoy a wide selection of local food and beverages while taking in the atmosphere at one of the best college football settings in the nation.
