Game Services
Game notes will be supplied at all home games to accredited media representatives in the press box (men's and women's soccer, softball, baseball) or in the media room (volleyball, wrestling, men's and women's basketball). Access to the press box, the media room, or press row is reserved for media personnel with proper credentials.
During basketball games, stats are provided (if requested) to broadcasters during media time-outs. Media sitting at press row will be provided with stats at halftime and with a final stats packet after the game in the media room. Refreshments will be provided prior to each basketball game in the media room. During all soccer games, halftime and final stats are available in the press box. At baseball and softball games, final stats are available in the press box.
Interviews
The best way to reach any SIUE coach or student-athlete is through the athletic communications office. Please contact the staff member that is responsible for that sport. Please allow at least one day to arrange interviews with players or coaches as we must take classroom and practice schedules into account.
SIUE coaches are available for post-game interviews. For basketball, both home and visiting coaches will be available in the media room adjacent to the gym. Coaches will be escorted to the media room after the game. Players may be brought to the media room upon request. For all other sports, please contact the assigned SIUE athletic communications staff member to arrange post-game interviews at the site. Post-game requests for visitors will vary at the teams' discretion.
Credentials
Requests for working press and photography credentials for all home games must be made prior to game day with the SIUE athletic communications office. Please complete the form below and the staff member assigned to the specific sport will be in contact shortly. Passes will be held for pick-up at the appropriate venue.
