Access to Apogee on Non-Game Days?

chomp · June 30, 2017

Does anyone know if Apogee Stadium is open to the public during the week? To get some exercise, I've carved out a good 4 mile walk through campus and across the pedestrian bridge over to Apogee Stadium. Now that I'm in a bit better shape, it occurred to me that adding some stadium steps might be something else I could do if it is allowed in Apogee. Thanks!

Go into the fan shop/ticket office and ask???

If nothing else, I bet you could get access to the Fouts steps while they're still there.

walk your ass to "the swamp" and run your own stairs. :)

Fouts yes. They don't want people working out a Apogee. Take that gator to the Florida board.

Hop the fence.

Coach MaC used to talk about running stands. Of course, I guess he had a key.

Don't most schools have their stadiums open? I know the Sun Bowl at UTEP does quite often

Head down the ramp at the back where the busses go down next to the scoreboard or try the gate from the AC parking lot.

I visit Eagle Point a lot, and I always walk passed Apogee... The store staff will only let you go get water/ go to the restroom from their back door, but there has been times that whenever I pass by either the Bus/Truck ramp gate is open (There is usually staff there so its probably a no go to enter) and at times the gate next to the Athletics Center is open leading to the stairs that go down to the field. Now of course, I'm not 100% sure if people are allowed to enter, I'd go ahead and shoot an email to those in charge (i.e Athletics, Staff at Apogee) to go ahead and see if you'd be able to go and work out... Honestly I would! But go ahead and reach out!

How familiar are you with Gate 3 ?

Also, I bet nobody would care if you went and ran the stands at Fouts while it's still there.

Just bring your tetanus shot records with you...

kneel before Littrell and pledge your fealty to Spriki and I am sure they will make an exception.

In this era of terror attack concerns, I imagine fewer stadia are being left open.

You get a REALLY big drone. Nevermind, it'll never work..

Show your receipt for season tickets and your Mean Green Club contribution. That should make any confrontation with security easier.

No, not to the public. Just like Apogee, you might finds gates open here and there but if you go in and start a workout someone will approach you, ask who you are then ask you to leave.
