School Name Goes Here

OMAHA, Neb. – UNO athletics will bring some of the newest members of “Omaha’s Team” into the community as part of the Maverick Road Show beginning Wednesday, July 15 in Fremont, Neb.  It’s the first of seven stops in advance of the Mavericks’ season-opening football game against East Central University on Thursday, Aug. 27 at Caniglia Field.

“The Maverick Road Show gives us an opportunity to tell the story of UNO athletics to people who might not be familiar with the accomplishments of our student athletes and coaches,” said Trev Alberts, UNO’s Director of Athletics.  “We think that once they hear that story, they’ll want to support the Mavericks during the upcoming athletic season and beyond.”

Each stop of the Maverick Road Show will feature appearances by Alberts, UNO coaches and staff members.  The inaugural stop in Fremont will be held at the 23rd Street branch of Fremont National Bank beginning one half hour earlier at 4 p.m.
