Huntsville, it’s time to wear orange.
Sam Houston Football is coming home this Saturday, September 12, and the Bearkats are kicking off their home schedule with an Orange Out at Bowers Stadium.
Sam Houston takes on Tulsa at 6 PM, and Bearkat Nation has one assignment:
Wear orange.
Whether you’re heading to your first game as a student, coming back to Huntsville as an alum, or you’ve been cheering on the Kats for years, it’s time to find your orange and get game-day ready.
It’s an Orange Out in Huntsville
There’s no better way to welcome the Bearkats home than with a stadium full of orange.
Students, alumni, families, and fans are encouraged to wear orange and help fill Bowers Stadium with Bearkat pride for the first home game of the season.
If your game-day closet needs a little more orange before Saturday, Barefoot has you covered.
Shop orange Sam Houston tees, sweatshirts, game-day tops, and more to find your Orange Out look before kickoff.
Go all orange or mix it into your favorite Bearkat outfit. Either way, Saturday is the day to show up for SHSU.
Football Is Back at Bowers Stadium
Football Saturdays are officially back in Huntsville.
The tailgates. The orange. The Bearkat pride. And a full evening of football at Bowers Stadium.
With Saturday marking Sam Houston’s first home game of the 2026 season, there’s even more reason to get your friends together and show up for the Kats.
Make your tailgate plans, find your game-day crew, and get ready for a 6 PM kickoff.
