OXFORD – As summer fades and the anticipation for a big fall sports season builds, Ole Miss fans should make their plans for 2015 Meet the Rebels Day, presented By Cannon Motors, set for Saturday, August 15 at the Manning Center on campus.
Doors will open to Rebel Kids’ Club Members (with up to two parents or guardians) at 12:30 p.m., at the east entrance of the facility, by the Grill at 1810. The general public may enter at 1 p.m. through the south entrance, which faces the track & field complex. All fans should park in the Coliseum lot or the new parking garage adjacent to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

As the Manning Center opens, the Rebel soccer, volleyball, rifle and spirit squads will be greeting fans and signing autographs. Chick-fil-A will be providing concessions, and the Rebel Shop will be selling apparel, media guides and other merchandise.
The Ole Miss Athletics Ticket Office will be selling single-game tickets to the UT Martin, Fresno State, Vanderbilt and New Mexico State games, as well as Rebel 4-Pack and Rebel Pick 3-Pack options. A one-day $10 discount will be offered for tickets to the Sept. 5 season opener vs. UT Martin if they are purchased at Meet the Rebels Day.
Football coaches and players will be signing autographs and visiting with fans from 1 until 3 p.m., when the event comes to a close. In order to quicken the lines and accommodate as many people as possible, fans are limited to one autograph item per individual player or coach, and photos or videos with football coaches and players will not be permitted.
New team posters will be handed out to fans, and a kids zone will be set up with inflatables and other games.
SuperTalk Mississippi, which will air locally on 93.7 and 105.5 FM, will broadcast live from the stage beginning at noon with an on-air team led by the “Voice of the Rebels” David Kellum.
Several Ole Miss coaches and administrators will be interviewed, including head football coach Hugh Freeze and athletics director Ross Bjork.
