The University of Central Missouri Mules Football team will host its 2025 home opener against the No. 13-ranked Colorado State Pueblo Thunderwolves at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 11, at Walton Stadium/Kennedy Field in Warrensburg.

Several special areas and events are planned for fans attending the game. The Cardinal and Black Fund Tent will be set up across Washington Street, just west of Walton Stadium near the Mule statue. This area is open to Cardinal and Black Fund members at the All-Region level, which requires a $500 minimum contribution. The tent opens three hours before kickoff, with food served approximately two hours prior to the start of the game. All-Region level members receive complimentary food and drink. Fans interested in joining or increasing their giving level can do so at the door. During UCM Homecoming on October 26, this tent will be located at the "Party in the Park."

The Yuengling Flight Deck will be located on the field north of the north end zone inside Walton Stadium and can be accessed via stairs next to the home grandstand. Access is also limited to Cardinal and Black Fund members at the All-Region level ($500 and above). The Flight Deck opens 30 minutes before kickoff at 6:30 p.m., offering drinks for purchase that may be taken back to regular seats but not out of the stadium. Concession items from elsewhere in the stadium can also be brought into this area. Fans can join or upgrade their membership status at the entrance.

The Mule Fan Zone Presented by GoZark is typically found in lot S41 across Washington Street west of Walton Stadium, but for this week’s game it will be relocated east of Walton Stadium as part of "Get the Red Out." The fan zone will move again during UCM Homecoming on October 25 to "Party in the Park." Admission is free for all fans, who can enjoy live music, games for children, local vendors, and other activities.
