UK Sports Network Invites Fans to SEC Tournament Headquarters
LEXINGTON, Ky. – With the Big Blue Nation set to take over Nashville as Kentucky chases a 32nd SEC Tournament Championship, the UK Sports Network is rolling out the blue carpet for fans by once again transforming downtown Nashville’s hottest bar, The Valentine, into the “Official UK Sports Network Headquarters.” The Valentine will be the premier spot for fans to hang out before, during and after each game.
The Valentine, located at 312 Broadway and just steps away from Bridgestone Arena, will serve as the UK Sports Network’s official home for the “Don Franklin Auto Countdown to Tipoff” pregame radio show with Dave Baker and Rex Chapman, airing live 90 minutes prior to each game. Should the Cats advance to and win Saturday’s semifinal, a special postgame panel featuring the entire UK Sports Network roster of talent, including the radio play-by-play duo of Tom Leach and Mike Pratt, will take place approximately one hour after the game live from The Valentine. For the many fans traveling to Nashville without game tickets, The Valentine will be the best place to watch the action with tons of TVs located throughout the newly renovated bar.
A four-story saloon featuring an expansive rooftop patio and live music, The Valentine will be running specials for UK fans to enjoy all weekend long. There is no cover charge for admission and The Valentine will be opening early and closing late for Cats fans to enjoy a weekend full of enjoyment.
To receive event notifications and to stay up-to-date on the latest UK Sports Network events taking place at The Valentine, fans are encouraged to download the official UK Athletics App in both the both the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores and also follow the UK Sports Network on its social media platforms: Twitter (@UKSportsNetwork), Facebook (UK Sports Network) and Instagram (@uk_sportsnetwork).
