Fans who purchase tickets through the group's link on Cal's website will have the exclusive opportunity to sit in this designated section. The 'Black Bear' section aims to bring the same fervor and energy that 'The Black Hole' is renowned for to Cal Football games.

Enhanced Game Day Experience

In addition to the dedicated seating, the 'Black Bear' section will feature a tent in Oski's Village, Cal's pregame fan fest area. This will provide fans with a unique tailgating experience, further enhancing the game day atmosphere.
