Florida Atlantic University is set to debut a new pre‑game concert series that will turn the moments before kickoff into a mini‑festival for fans. The initiative, called Owls Pregame Live, aims to blend entertainment with athletics, giving supporters a reason to arrive early and soak up a lively atmosphere before the action on the field.
Owls Pregame Live Takes the Field
The series will feature 90‑minute performances by local musicians and tribute acts, beginning three hours before each football game at Flagler Credit Union Stadium. The first concert is scheduled for September 12, when the Owls host Navy, and will showcase a Zac Brown tribute band delivering the country‑rock sound that has become a staple of game‑day excitement.
More Than Music: Food, Games, and Family Fun
These concerts will be held in the Publix Paradise Plaza, a dedicated area that will also host food vendors, interactive games and activities designed for fans of all ages. The plaza transforms the stadium’s surrounding space into a community gathering spot where families can enjoy snacks, play games and experience a festive environment before the game begins.
Season Ticket Packages Start at $75
Fans who purchase season tickets, available from $75, will gain entry to all home games, including matchups against Navy, FIU and South Florida, and will enjoy the pre‑game concerts as part of the package. The pricing strategy reflects the university’s effort to make the full experience accessible while still offering premium amenities.
A Community‑Centric Experience
University officials say the initiative aims to deepen community ties, showcase local talent and provide a vibrant atmosphere that extends beyond the gridiron. By integrating music, food and family‑friendly activities, the program hopes to create a recurring tradition that fans look forward to each season, reinforcing Florida Atlantic’s role as a cultural hub in Boca Raton.
