Admission is free and the authority encourages everyone to attend and support the future Wildcat and Viking stars. 

Anyone who can’t attend can listen to the live radio broadcast on 96.1 FM and 1150 AM. And anyone around the globe can watch the games via internet livestream. The link will be available each night at vlpra.com.
