Spirit Park Live with Chapel Hart

Southern Miss football's 2023 season kicks off on Saturday, Sept. 2, with the return of Spirit Park Live, presented by Gulf South Productions. The 2023 debut event features country music vocal group, Chapel Hart, with the live performance at Southern Station set to begin at 3 p.m.

Natives of Poplarville, Miss., the group earned a Golden Buzzer Performance on America's Got Talent and finished fifth overall on the 17th season of the show. Chapel Hart received an invitation to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., last year.

All six Southern Miss home games will feature live music and other acts at Spirit Park Live, with the remaining dates' performers to be announced at later dates. All fans are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy Spirit Park Live throughout the 2023 season. Fans can enjoy several different food trucks from around Hattiesburg, sign up for Seymour's Sidekicks and enjoy the inflatables in Junior Eagle Fun Land, and watch games from around the country on super-sized video screens, all from the comfort of your tailgate.

Chapel Hart's performance begins three hours prior to kickoff at Southern Station and will break at 4 p.m., due to the long-standing tradition of the Eagle Walk beginning two hours prior to kickoff. The musical trio will retake the stage at 4:30 p.m. once the Eagle Walk has concluded.

Season and single-game tickets for the 2023 season are still available. Fans can contact purchase home season or single game tickets at SouthernMissTickets.com, by calling 1-800-844-TICK (8425) or visit the Pat Ferlise Ticket Office on campus weekdays during normal business hours.
