Overview

• Cal announced an exclusive south end zone section called The Black Bear for the 2025 season in collaboration with the Black Hole fan group.
• Seats are reserved for buyers who use the group’s ticket link on CalBears.com, according to the program’s official post.
• The section debuts at Saturday’s home opener against Texas Southern at 6 p.m. ET, with a Black Hole pregame tailgate tent outside the stadium.
• Coverage frames the initiative as an effort to engage Bay Area Raiders supporters and lift turnout after recent averages near 39,000 in a 63,000-seat venue.
• The concept nods to the Black Hole’s Oakland Coliseum roots and its continued presence in Las Vegas following co-founder Rob Rivera’s 2021 death.
