One of the most notable off-field highlights from 2012-13 was the opening of the luxury suites atop Bear Hall, providing Bear fans a long-awaited premium viewing experience with first-class amenities. The suites offer indoor seating with closed-circuit television along with outdoor club seating, a common lounge area and catering services.

The Bears put on a quite a spectacle in the grand opening of the suites, beating Bacone College 70-3 in the 2012 home opener on Sept. 15.

In addition to enhancing the game day experience, the suites area is also utilized throughout the year as a meeting area for many athletics events – including the always-popular watch parties for NCAA postseason selection specials.
