MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Year two of the Brad Smiley Era of Southern Arkansas Football kickoffs in forty-three days with the first of five home games scheduled for the Muleriders in the 2023 season. Tickets are now on sale for all five of the games that will be contested inside Wilkins Stadium at Rip Powell Field this season. Tickets for Mid-October's Murphy USA Classic, which will see SAU once again serve as the home team, will be made available at a later date.
 
"Our goal has always been to offer our great fans affordable ticket packages for all of our sports each and every year," noted SAU Director of Athletics Steve Browning. "We understand that at any given sporting event on our campus, a majority of our crowd are people from our community and we are deeply grateful for their unwavering support. Because of that support, we want to make attending an SAU athletic event safe, fun, family-friendly, and affordable! We look forward to seeing our fans back out supporting our Muleriders this upcoming athletic year!"
 
Season tickets (Mulerider Football, M/W Basketball, Baseball, Softball) along with General Admission tickets for 2023-2024 Mulerider Athletic events will be sold online as a result of the department's on-going digital ticketing partnership with Hometown Ticketing which was announced on December 10, 2020.
 
Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at the link provided (www.muleriderathletics.com/tickets) to avoid extended wait times at the ticket gates on game days. Cash will not be accepted as a form of payment when purchasing tickets at the gate on game days; credit/debit card transactions only.
 
Current SAU students and faculty/staff members will continue to receive free admission, but will only be admitted by requesting tickets through Hometown Ticketing per the policy put in place by the department beginning with the 2021-22 season.
