Ahead of the Sky Bet League One fixture with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.
A variety of different food options will be available for supporters of both sides from 12noon. Sausage Grill, Curry Jacks, Love Coffee, the Yellowbelly Sausage Company and the Barbell Burger Co will all be present supplying their locally-sourced delights.
Saturday's game is dedicated to Level Playing Field, with the players wearing special shirts to mark the occasion during the warm-up. There is also support for the EFL's Women's Football Weekend with the Imps featuring in videos for the EFL and Sky Sports.
St Barnabas Hospice will be holding a bucket collection to raise funds to continue their important work.
There is a food court outside the Selenity Stand which is also available at half-time. Hot drinks are available.
Lincoln City Foundation will be running free Premier League kicks sessions on the 3G pitch from 1pm-2.30pm (trainers or moulded studs required, no metal studs). To sign up simply head to the entrance to the 3G pitch where Foundation staff will sign you up.
The Foundation will have activities including an inflatable football challenge in operation before the match in the University of Lincoln Fan Village.
Inside the stadium we will once again invite a young fan from the Family Area to help matchday announcer Alan Long in reading out the teams, while we'll also pick out a supporter to watch the warm-up from close range and meet some of their heroes as part of our regular matchday Moment of Magic.
