The Sacramento Mountain Lions, the United Football League team that relocated to the capital from the Bay Area, will play their first home game at Hornet Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 25 against the Florida Tuskers.

The Mountain Lions kick off their season on the road Sept. 18 on the East Coast at the Hartford Colonials.

The football team plays four games at home at California State University Sacramento’s Hornet Stadium. The last three home dates are Oct. 15 against the Las Vegas Locos, Oct. 30 against the Hartford Colonials and Nov. 13 in a matchup with Omaha, a new franchise that doesn’t yet have a team name.

Four-game packages range from $60 to $140. Tickets are available from the league’s website at ufl-football.com and from Tickets.com.
