UA coach Lute Olson holds up the net for the fans after Arizona beat Kentucky 84-79 in overtime to win the 1997 national championship.

Fans are now being offered free space-available seating to catch the premiere of the Lute Olson documentary at Centennial Hall on Friday evening.

General admission tickets are being sold for $30 plus Ticketmaster fees (VIP tickets are $500), but organizers say fans can also take open seats that are not sold in the 2,500-seat venue without cost.

The showing of "Lute" is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m, and end after a panel discussion at 6:25 p.m., presumably allowing fans enough time to catch the Red-Blue Game across campus at McKale Center at 7:30 p.m.

Before the movie, there will also be a VIP ticket reception starting at 4:30 p.m. that will feature former UA players and filmmakers.
