Bozeman, it’s time to go gold.
Montana State Football is back at Bobcat Stadium this Saturday, September 5, and the first home game of the season is the Gold Rush game.
The Bobcats take on Butler at 6:30 PM, and Bobcat Nation has one assignment: fill the stands with gold.
Whether you’re a student heading to your first game at Bobcat Stadium, an alum coming back to Bozeman, or a lifelong fan ready for another season of Montana State football, this is one game day you’ll want to be ready for.
It’s a Gold Rush
Gold Rush is one of those Montana State game days that looks just as good as it feels.
Students, alumni, families, and fans come together in gold to create an unforgettable atmosphere inside Bobcat Stadium—and your game-day outfit is part of it.
If your closet needs a little more gold before Saturday, Barefoot has you covered.
Shop Montana State t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, accessories, and more to find your Gold Rush look before kickoff.
Go all gold or mix it into your favorite Bobcat game-day outfit. Either way, Saturday is the day to show up for MSU.
