Request for credentials to athletic events should be made at least 48 hours in advance of the event and directed to the sports information office. Spouses, dates, children and non-working media will not be given a pass or assigned a seat on press row. Concordia does not provide parking passes to the media.
Gameday services
Concordia's sports information office produces gameday programs, which include rosters, schedules and statistical leaders when available detailed statistics and game notes. Opponents are asked to supply Concordia -- either via fax, email or with a link to availability on the web -- with detailed rosters, up-to-date statistics and season scores, for use in our gameday program no later than a day before the event.
Following a home event, Concordia will supply all results to both home and visiting media. Concordia always contacts the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World Herald with scores and statistics (where applicable). Scores area also called into local TV and sports/news radio stations.
Concordia will also phone scores or fax/email results and statistics to opponent media. Please contact the sports information office at least a day in advance of a game with media phone and fax numbers. Opposing teams are also free to use phone and fax machines in the athletic office or sports information office. Please ask the sports information director or an athletic staff member for assistance.
Statistical services
Concordia uses the Stat Crew/Automated Scorebook statistics programs for football, volleyball, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball. Visiting teams that also use Stat Crew are asked to supply Concordia's sports information office with Stat Crew roster files at least a day in advance of a game.
Concordia uses the "in-game" functions of the Stat Crew programs for football, basketball, baseball and softball, and will supply visiting teams and media with complete statistics, including written play-by-play, immediately following the game.
During games, Concordia provides quarterly "quick" statistics in the press box for football and halftime statistics for basketball. Between-game statistics are provided during baseball/softball (doubleheaders).
Postgame, Concordia will e-mail Stat Crew game files to opposing SIDs, and will also send game files to the GPAC office for conference statistics. If coaches or opposing SIDs would like Stat Crew files immediately after the game, please have a jump drive available and we will gladly take care of it.
All Concordia season and game statistics are kept up-to-date and posted on Concordia's athletic website at www.cune.edu/athletics. Concordia follows NAIA and NCAA statistics guidelines, including guidelines for changing official statistics in case of an appeal or error.
