GuestAssist service now available: UK is offering a new fan service at Kentucky football games. “GuestAssist” is a communications service that enables one-to-one text messaging between Commonwealth Stadium guests and stadium operations personnel.
Fans can ask questions about game-day information and/or report concerns regarding behavior through the convenience of their cell phones. Stadium operations personnel will monitor and respond to guest’ game-day inquiries on a real-time basis and if needed, dispatch support, security, etc. to the guests’ location. Fans wishing to utilize the service should text, “CATS, your message and your seat location” to 78247 (CATS must be the first four characters in the message body. Standard text message rates apply).
“GuestAssist” is not intended for emergency use. In the event of an emergency, guests should contact the nearest stadium event staff and/or dial 911.United Way Day: The United Way of the Bluegrass is the official charity of the University of Kentucky. UK’s annual fundraising campaign is underway and Wildcat football fans will be asked to participate during the Eastern Kentucky game.
During the first half of the game, UWBG volunteers will pass donation buckets through the stands. Fans are invited to give money to the cause.
UWBG is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life – a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
