(KRON) -- Since taking its show on the road back in 1993, "College GameDay" has been a huge presence in the college football community by being known to travel across dozens of campuses across the country. For the first time in its 30-year history, the live ESPN show is coming to UC Berkeley, the university announced in a press release. The show will be staged in the center of campus at Memorial Glade. The popular pregame show airs from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. PT. Fans who will watch the show in person are encouraged to arrive early, the university said. "We couldn't be more excited to welcome ESPN's College GameDay to Cal," Cal Director of Athletics Jim Knowlton said in a statement. "It's a great reward for everyone associated with our football program, and I know our Cal Family will savor this incredible opportunity to have our student-athletes, University and the city of Berkeley showcased on the national stage."

Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse and Virginia are the others. The last time College GameDay was in the Golden State for a regular-season matchup was in 2021 when UCLA hosted No. 10 Oregon. Legendary college football coach Nick Saban, one of the analysts on the show, admitted the last time he was on Cal's campus was for an Aaron Rodgers workout ahead of the 2005 NFL Draft. College GameDay garners millions of viewers every Saturday morning to preview the week of action. In the first four weeks of this season, College GameDay has recorded a show-best average of 2.2 million viewers to begin the season, according to ESPN. Students and fans of these college football teams are known to go into a frenzy and line up early overnight, Even in freezing temperatures, fans lined up as early as 1 a.m. to get a good spot to watch the show ahead of last year's marquee matchup between Michigan and Ohio State.

Typically, College GameDay visits the marquee matchup of that week, usually involving an AP Top 25 ranked team. College football powerhouse Ohio State has hosted the show the most with 23 outings, according to ESPN. Although the Golden Bears (3-1) are not ranked, their opponent this Saturday, No. 7 University of Miami, is. Cal's matchup against the Hurricanes (5-0) will kick off at 7:30 p.m. PT and be televised on ESPN. Cal is coming off a 14-9 loss to Florida State on Sept. 21 in its first conference game as a member of the ACC. Miami is coming off a 38-34 home win over Virginia Tech. Perhaps Cal football fans are not as dedicated as their SEC counterparts who seemingly always pack the crowd to capacity. It is still to be determined if UC Berkeley fans will pack Memorial Glade in the early hours of gameday.
