RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University athletics has announced its gameday timeline for Saturday's home football game against West Georgia at CG Bank Field at Roy Kidd Stadium.
 
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:02 p.m. ET as EKU celebrates Hall of Fame Weekend and honors its 2026 EKU Athletics Hall of Fame class.
 
With the remnants of Hurricane Isaias expected to affect the area this weekend, Saturday's pregame schedule has been adjusted. Colonel-Val activities in the Colonel Courtyard have been canceled, and other scheduled events remain subject to change.
 
Parking lots are scheduled to open at noon, with student tailgate lots expected to open at 12:30 p.m.
 
EKU's Colonel Walk will begin at 3:45 p.m. outside the Moberly Building and Olympic Sports Training Facility before concluding at the RV lot. Gates to Roy Kidd Stadium will open at 4:30 p.m.
 
The Marching Colonels are scheduled to take the field at 5:44 p.m. for their pregame performance.
 
At 5:56 p.m., the Colonels will gather atop the hill next to the Olympic Sports Training Facility for one of Roy Kidd Stadium's signature gameday traditions.
 
Following the intro video and music, EKU will run down the hill, debuting a new entrance path that brings the Colonels onto the field closest to the main grandstand.
 
At halftime, EKU athletics will recognize members of its 2026 Hall of Fame class.
