The Scrapped Ideas For Commonwealth’s Grand Opening

On Saturday, September 5th, Kentucky football will open its 2015 season in a brand new Commonwealth Stadium. UK announced several festivities for its grand opening of the New CWS, headlined by a Sundy Best pregame concert, with Matthew Mitchell and the Go Big Blue Band as its opening act.

Other special guests include: a choir made up of singers from all 120 Kentucky counties, performing the national anthem; game ball delivery by The Golden Knights, the United States Army Parachute Team; and Stone Cold Willow in the front of the new student section.

But before the event details were released earlier this week, there were months and months of planning the big day.
