The University stated, “due to various commitments, we will not hold the traditional fan engagement opportunity with the men’s and women’s basketball teams that takes place during the summer.”
Do not fret, Dayton will hold a Fan Festival Cookout with both teams on Oct. 14 before a 1 p.m. football game against Campbell University at Welcome Stadium. Players will sign autographs and meet fans. More information on this event will be released soon.
As of late July, the renovation has been on schedule to be complete by the men’s exhibition game against Ohio Dominican on Nov. 4.
