Admission to the game is free to the public, and doors will open 15 minutes after the football game ends. Fans will have the option to purchase exclusive access to a one-item autograph session with the team following the game for $150.

Football parking rules will be in effect for the Blue-White game. Fans who do not have a football parking permit are encouraged to use the Tar Heel Express park-and-ride bus service.

UNC will not play another public game at the Smith Center until an exhibition against Winston-Salem State on Wednesday, October 29. A tip-off time has yet to be announced. Tickets to the game will go on sale in early October, according to UNC.
