Media
Members of the media planning to cover Lion athletics should contact Adam Williams. Working space at the press box / scorer's table is limited, so please contact us ahead of time. Wireless Internet access is available at all home basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse and volleyball events. Members of the media will be provided with game notes, programs, statistics, and any other relevant materials. Box scores will be available at certain intervals throughout the game, including play-by-play printouts if requested.

Interviews
All requests for player and coach interviews must be made through Adam Williams. Players and coaches will be available following a 10-minute "cooling off" period after each home contest. Postgame interviews of visiting players and coaches will be available upon request.

Radio
All requests for radio and Internet broadcasts must be made through Adam Williams at least one week in advance. Wireless internet is available for visiting broadcasts at all home baseball, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse and volleyball events; cell phone lines or other means must be used for softball and baseball, but these means must be provided by the visiting broadcaster.
