The University of Denver has unveiled the logo for the first presidential debate, to be held at DU's Magness Arena on October 3. The university also launched a website today dedicated to the debate, which includes a countdown ticker: 226 days to go. One thing it doesn't include? Ticket information. "Tickets are not available to the public," it says. "There will be a limited number of tickets available to University of Denver students only."

The debate is the first of three to be held this fall. The second will be hosted by Hofstra University in New York on October 16, and the third will be at Lynn University in Florida on October 22. A vice presidential debate is scheduled for October 11.

The DU debate also has its own Facebook page and Twitter account.

The logo was unveiled today at a kickoff event at the on-campus Sidelines Pub.
