Chattanooga Welcomes NFL Star Terrell Owens for Homecoming Celebration

Chattanooga, TN – NFL Hall of Famer and former UTC Moc Terrell Owens made waves in the Scenic City this week as he returned to his roots for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s homecoming festivities. On Friday, Owens visited a local studio for a live interview, sharing insights about the upcoming events.

Who is Involved?

Owens, a celebrated former NFL player, is not only returning to Chattanooga as a guest of honor for the university’s homecoming but also aims to engage with the local community. In his mission, he is collaborating with Hamilton County Schools to make the event accessible to students, teachers, and their families.

What is Happening?

Owens is offering 500 complimentary tickets to families associated with Hamilton County Schools, who will have the chance to attend the homecoming football game at Finley Stadium on Saturday, October 26. This initiative is a unique opportunity for local families to enjoy the game and celebrate school spirit together.

Where and When?

The festivities will culminate on game day, with complimentary tickets available for pick-up at the Hamilton County Schools – Pick-Up Tent, located opposite the Pavilion entrance. Ticket distribution will take place on Saturday from 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM. The homecoming game is expected to draw significant attendance, with Owens hoping to cheer on the Mocs to victory.

Why is This Important?

This event not only honors the university’s tradition of homecoming but also strengthens the ties between UTC and the local community. Owens expressed his hope that the team plays hard and especially noted the significance for senior players participating in their last homecoming game. It is a moment filled with nostalgia and pride for them, as they represent both their school and community.

How to Get Tickets?

For those interested in securing tickets, they are being distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Families participating are encouraged to arrive early to avoid disappointment. For specific details regarding the pick-up of tickets, attendees can contact Amy Hitchcock at 423-544-5905.
