“This is a day we look forward to every year,” Groh said. “It is one of the fun days where we get to spend some time with the fans who are so passionate about the Virginia program. It is a day to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones. It is a terrific experience for our players.”

Fans will be able to pick up copies of the 2009 Cavalier Football schedule poster, schedule magnet and schedule cards. Tours of the locker room will take place and fans will have the opportunity to purchase the latest 2009 officially licensed sideline apparel from Nike as well as the 2009 football fan t-shirt.
