University of Maryland Athletics

This season, Maryland Athletics will release limited edition Terrapin Cutouts available for purchase for the 2021 seasons for wrestling, gymnastics, volleyball, field hockey, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's lacrosse, baseball, and softball. For $55, you can send us an image of yourself, your friend, relative, or even a pet showing their Maryland pride, and be a part of gameday!

By purchasing a Terrapin Cutout, you will help offset some of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Proceeds from Terrapin Cutouts will help to fund increased operational expenses, including regular COVID-19 testing and other special health services like ECGs and cardiac MRIs, mental health services, technology support for virtual classes and tutoring, and enhanced safety measures implemented for strength and conditioning.

Terrapin Cutouts will be periodically installed as each sport's season begins. Use the link below to order your Terrapin Cutout - you will be able to specify your intended sport when uploading your photo(s).

Frequently Asked Questions

Maryland Athletics wants to ensure a seamless experience with the Terrapin Cutouts program for all of our fans. Prior to reading through the FAQ, please make sure to read and review the Terrapin Cutouts photo submission guidelines (PDF) as well as the steps listed above this section. If you still have questions after reviewing the photo submission guidelines and the FAQ, please reach out to mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu.

Are there different tiers of Terrapin Cutouts?

No - there is only one tier for our Olympic Sport Terrapin Cutouts. All cutouts will be signed by the head coach you choose at the end of the season.

How do I select which sport I want to purchase a cutout for?

Fans must first purchase a general Olympic Sport Terrapin Cutout through the link above. When you receive the photo submission email, within 24 hours of purchasing, you will be able to indicate which sport your cutout should be displayed at.

I’m a Terrapin Club donor - do I receive a discount on my cutout?

Yes! All Terrapin Club donors will receive an email with a special link for discounted Terrapin Cutouts. Please purchase your cutout through that link to receive the discounted rate. If you have any issues, please email mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu.

I just purchased my Terrapin Cutout. When should I expect to receive the email with the link to submit my photo?

Fans will first receive a confirmation email directly after purchase, and then they will receive a separate email at noon ET the day after purchase with a link to the photo submission form. If you do not receive the email the following day, please check your spam folder as well as all pre-categorized folders (Gmail users, please make sure to check the “Promotions” folder). If your email is still not there after 24 hours, please reach out to mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu, and we will be happy to help you out.

Can I place more than one order for a Terrapin Cutout?

Yes! You may place more than one order for a Terrapin Cutout. If you would like to order multiple cutouts, Maryland Athletics recommends that you order them at the same time. However, you can place as many separate orders as you’d like.

How many cutouts can I purchase in one single transaction?

You may purchase up to four cutouts per transaction. After that, you will need to place an additional, separate order.

Does my purchase cover the whole season or one game?

Terrapin Cutouts will remain in the stands for the entire season of whichever sport you choose.

Are there any restrictions to the photo I upload?

Yes. Photos must be Maryland-related, in good taste and not of a commercial nature. Fans may not submit photos of celebrities or other public figures. Maryland Athletics reserves the right to reject any photo that does not abide by the photo submission guidelines, at its sole discretion. Fans will be notified if their photo is rejected and given an opportunity to resubmit if there is appropriate time prior to the deadline, but Maryland Athletics will not be obligated to provide the purchaser a refund if a submitted photo is rejected for any reason.

Can two people be in one photo?

Only 1 person per photo. Photos with multiple people will be rejected.

I uploaded the wrong photo, can I upload a new one?

No; please ensure that the photo you upload not only meets all of our guidelines, but that it is also the photo you will be happy with all season long. The only instance that you will be able to resubmit a photo is if Maryland Athletics reaches out to you directly due to issues with your initial submission.

Will I be refunded if my photo is not approved?

We will do our best to ensure you are given the opportunity to submit a new photo if your initial submission is rejected, but we cannot guarantee you will receive a refund should your photo be rejected.

Will I know where my cutout is placed?

Yes! All fans will be given access to a photo album that contains photos of all cutouts in the stands for that specified sport. We cannot accommodate specific seat requests.

If I purchase more than one cutout will they be placed next to each other?

While we cannot guarantee exact locations, we will do our best to seat multiple submissions together.

Can I have my cutout at the end of the season?

Yes! You will have an option to receive your cutout after the season has concluded. Please note, we cannot guarantee the condition of your cutout particularly for outdoor sports. You will be contacted at the email address provided when uploading your photo. Cutouts will only be available for pickup; no cutouts will be mailed or delivered. At that time, further details for pickup and specific instructions will be communicated to fans who purchased cutouts.

If I purchased a Maryland Football or Basketball Terrapin Cutout, can I transfer my cutout to another sport?

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate this request. All Maryland Football and Basketball Cutouts will be available for pickup at the conclusion of their respective seasons.

What if the season gets canceled?

All payments made to purchase cutouts are final and such payments shall not be refunded for any reason, including, but not limited to, the delay, suspension, cancellation, or early termination of the 2021 season.
