Tulsa Football Season Opener Moves to Thursday Night

TULSA, Okla. –– The 2023 Tulsa football season opener has been moved up two days to Thursday, August 31. The Golden Hurricane hosts the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on opening weekend to usher in the Kevin Wilson era at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

"We believe this change will help accommodate our students and fans who may have other plans for Labor Weekend, and now will be able to attend the game. We hope that not only TU football fans, but Tulsans in general will come out and start off the holiday weekend in cheering on Tulsa's team," said Rick Dickson, Tulsa's vice president & director of athletics.

"Again, this year we'll have great atmosphere and entertainment on Chapman Commons beforehand, and it will continue with an electric environment in Chapman Stadium. It's so important that we have a sellout crowd for this opener as we not only root for the home team but welcome Coach Wilson and his staff to Tulsa with an energetic crowd."

The game time will be announced in June.

This is the first meeting on the gridiron between Tulsa and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This will be the seventh home opener in the month of August in school history for Tulsa. The Hurricane has a 4-2 record in those games.
