CHATTANOOGA---Finley Stadium sets the scene Saturday afternoon for a Southern Conference matchup between the Chattanooga Mocs and VMI Keydets. It's a battle of a team in the Mocs who are looking to keep pace at the top of the league standings at 2-0, while the Keydets are looking to keep hope alive at 0-2.
 
There's a lot of information to unpack for this weekend's game as fall break starts on campus. First and foremost for fans, there are street closures due to the Motorcar Festival also going on downtown over the weekend.
 
Riverfront Parkway is closed from MLK to West 19th Street to southbound traffic. Other potential issues come at Chestnut Street between 7th and MLK as well as Carter Street between 11th and 13th.

MOC WALK/MOC ROCK
The Moc Walk tradition continues this season with the team arriving at First Horizon Pavilion and making their way through our phenomenal tailgating area next to Finley Stadium. Fans are encouraged to social distance from the team during this time utilizing applause and "air fives" over physical contact. The Moc Walk is approximately 2:15 prior to kickoff, in this case, 11:15 a.m.
 
The Marching Mocs, 125 members strong, are having a great season in their own right. They also offer a new gameday feature, the Mocs Rock Concert. It starts 45 minutes before game time (12:45 pm this week) in conjunction with the spirit parade through the Pavilion signaling the fans' move to the stadium.
 
CLEAR BAG POLICY
There is a clear bag policy in place for all Mocs athletics events. Fans are allowed to bring in one plastic, vinyl or PVC clear bag that does not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" to home games at Finley Stadium. Check it out here.
