JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - In advance of the first North Florida men's basketball home game this Saturday, UNF Athletics announces a series of game day reminders, updates and enhancements that spectators can expect to experience this season.

"We are so excited to unveil the UNF Arena renovations," Director of Athletics Nick Morrow said. "The fan experience has been significantly upgraded and we encourage all of Jacksonville to be a part of the game day atmosphere. We want to create an energy in the building that our student-athletes can feel, which then positively impacts their experience and performance. There will be plenty of opportunities to witness the basketball programs compete on the CSI Companies Court. I look forward to seeing all the Osprey fans this season!"
