2025 GAME CREDENTIALS 
Those looking to request game credentials for the Bobcats home games at Frank Solich Field at Peden Stadium can do so by filling out THIS FORM.

Season passes will be granted only if you can guarantee you will attend all six home games. If you cannot guarantee your attendance at all home games, please request on a game-by-game basis. Credential requests must be submitted by 5 p.m. EST five days before gameday. 

Season credential applications for the 2025 season will close on Monday, Sept. 1. In anticipation of a high volume of requests for Sept. 6, applications for that game will close once all press box spots are filled.  

You MUST be working for an actual media institution in order to be granted a credential. Freelance photographers and unconfirmed institutions will have their requests denied.
