HAMMOND, La.  – Southeastern Louisiana celebrates Super Lion Saturday to highlight this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
Saturday's action opens with a 12 p.m. softball doubleheader at North Oak Park, as SLU (22-15, 10-5 Southland) hosts Southland Conference rival Lamar. The Southeastern football team closes spring practice with the 2 p.m. Spring Game at Strawberry Stadium.
 
Following the football intra-squad scrimmage, the Party Barn will host an Easter egg hunt for young Lion fans ages 2-12 on the Strawberry Stadium turf. A 4 p.m. LionUp Tailgate party located in the area between the Dugas Center for Athletics and the Alumni Field parking lot will be held ­until the baseball team's 6 p.m. game with league foe Northwestern State.
 
Northshore Broadcasting will provide the music for the tailgate party and will air a live remote of the spring game and the tailgate party from 2-6 p.m. on Kajun 107.1 FM, The Highway 104.7 FM and The Boss 103.7 FM/1400 AM.
 
Tangi Tourism will provide "Pass-Sport" cards for the day's activities. Fans can get their cards stamped at the 12 and 2 p.m. softball games, the 2 p.m. football spring game and the 6 p.m. baseball game. Any fan with at least three stamps on their card will be entered into a drawing to win a movie prize pack valued over $100 courtesy of Tangi Tourism. The drawing will be held and the winner announced at that night's SLU-NSU baseball game.
 
Gates open at 11 a.m. at North Oak Park for the softball doubleheader and at 5 p.m. for the baseball game. Admission to the Spring Game is free, but Super Lion Saturday will open availability for 2019 football season ticket renewals, so the Southeastern Athletics Ticket Office will open at 1 p.m. for fans to renew their season tickets. At the baseball, softball and football games, Coaches Club t-shirts will be given out to current members and those who purchase new memberships.
 
The tailgate party will feature games provided by the Pennington Center, as well as an inflatable obstacle course provided by TNT Inflatables. Food and drinks will be available for purchase and will be free for S Club members. The SGA will collect food for the Southeastern Food Pantry outside of the football spring game.  
 
In conjunction with the baseball game, all Lion baseball alumni are invited to the Alumni Reunion, located down the left field line at Alumni Field. All former SLU baseball alumni in attendance will be recognized prior to first pitch between Southeastern and Northwestern State.

Non-Southeastern students can purchase two tickets for $14 to Tuesday's contest. All fans will be able to enjoy fireworks throughout the game.
 
Tuesday will also feature a Cane's Challenge. If the Lions score five or more runs, fans will be able to redeem their game ticket or student coupons to their local participating Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers to receive a free combo with the purchase of another of equal or greater value.
