The University of Kentucky welcomed a good-sized crowd for its annual football Fan Day activities on Saturday morning at Commonwealth Stadium.

Fans were invited to meet the coaches and players and get autographs at Nutter Field House. An open-to-the-public practice followed.

The Wildcats open the 2016 season Sept. 3 at home against Southern Mississippi.
