UTRGV Athletics has released its first-ever GoUTRGV app to enhance the fan experience.
The GoUTRGV app was released at the start of the new year and is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play.
Sarah Hernandez, UTRGV assistant athletic director for marketing, said the app was made to better inform fans about future games and keep up to date with UTRGV Athletics’ social media.
“You can find out everything that you need to know about our games, whether it’s a stat, the schedule or even the Twitter feed, social media, pictures, everything that you’re able to find on the website plus many other things,” Hernandez said. “You can do it on the app, so, really just enhancing the game-day experience for our students and fans.”
Students and fans can purchase tickets and merchandise directly from the mobile app.
Communication graduate student Andi Rubalcava is interested in the app and its features.
“I mean, I watch NFL on my phone so that would be pretty cool to be able to watch all the different sporting events that we have on campus here,” Rubalcava said.
The GoUTRGV app also offers fans and students a reward point system to redeem prizes when attending all home games, according to a Jan. 2 Athletics news release.
Asked what the ultimate goal for the app is, Hernandez replied, “Really just enhance the fan experience, whether you are in our venue or you’re listening on the radio or you’re watching on the WAC Digital Network or you’re just at home and there’s no game going on but you still want to interact with us. Then there’s all sorts of information.”
Hernandez invites UTRGV students to download and explore the app.
