Kentucky basketball fans hoping to grab one of 3,000 “Coach Cal” bobbleheads at the Lexington Legends game on Saturday will have to get to the ballpark a little earlier than normal.
The Legends are opening the gates at 4 p.m. Saturday, more than two hours ahead of the 6:35 p.m. game time and 95 minutes earlier than their normal window for letting fans into the park.
The first 3,000 fans will receive the first of the three bobbleheads of Kentucky men’s basketball head coach John Calipari. Saturday’s bobblehead features Calipari in his trademark sideline scream stance.
Fans who purchased a special seven-game Coach Cal package are guaranteed a bobblehead regardless of when they enter.
