The University of Memphis Athletics Department announced a fresh collaboration with Costco Wholesale Corporation that brings a unique ticket package to Tigers fans across the Memphis metro area.
Starting this week, shoppers at participating Costco warehouses in Tennessee can purchase a bundle that includes two lower‑level East sideline chairback tickets for a Memphis football game, together with a $30 food and beverage voucher, all for the flat price of $99.
The offer is limited to the Memphis‑area stores and will remain available while supplies last, giving families a convenient way to combine a game‑day experience with a modest dining credit.
Dr. Ed Scott, Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, said the partnership reflects the department’s commitment to expanding access to home games for the community.
“We’re excited to work with Costco to bring added value to our fans,” Scott remarked, noting that the collaboration also highlights the department’s focus on enhancing the overall game‑day atmosphere.
Alongside the ticket bundle, the athletics department revealed a series of updates to the stadium’s seating system that will take effect for the 2026 season.
Season ticket holders will retain their same physical seats, but the labeling and map design have been refreshed to improve clarity and fan navigation.
Updated seating charts and renewal instructions are being sent directly to existing ticket holders, ensuring a smooth transition as the new layout rolls out.
While the new package and seating changes are generating buzz, the department also reminded supporters that traditional season tickets for the 2026 campaign remain on sale, providing another avenue for fans to secure their preferred seats.
Looking Ahead to a Revamped Game‑Day Experience
The combined effort between the university’s athletics staff and a national retailer signals a broader trend of community‑focused partnerships in college sports, aiming to blend affordability with enhanced fan engagement as the Tigers prepare for another competitive season.
