[NU Sports] NUMB Pregame Concert?

[Jonathan Hodges]

The NUMB pregame concert is 1 hour before kickoff (10AM this Saturday)
outside in Wildcat Alley, which is on the baseball field just beyond
Welsh-Ryan Arena.  There are always other festivities going on in
Wildcat Alley as well, which adds to a great pregame atmosphere.
