The lawn surrounding Memorial Coliseum transformed into a sea of tents and UK-blue T-shirts last weekend at the Big Blue Madness Campout, returning for the first time since 2019 due to COVID.
Over 300 fans of all ages camped out for more than 24 hours in hopes of scoring free tickets to Big Blue Madness (BBM), UK basketball’s season kickoff event. BBM is a mens and womens basketball open practice, consisting of player introductions, practice drills, scrimmages and more.
Campers were able to interact with players and coaches, go to a watch party for the UK-Ole Miss football game, attend the UK-Alabama volleyball game, eat pizza, engage in a friendly cornhole competition and connect with other members of the Big Blue Nation, free of cost.
