Season 73 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) formally opened before a mammoth crowd of 18,000 at the Araneta Coliseum featuring the theme Heroes to make the highly anticipated event meaningful and to echo De La Salle University's pre-centennial celebrations. The event also pays tribute to the athletes and students not just of the host school but all the UAAP member schools. Present during the opening program were Br. Bernie Oca FSC, DLSU Vice Chancellor for Lasallian Mission and External Relations, popular artists and Lasallians Gary Valenciano and Ogie Alcasid, who performed song numbers, including rendition of One La Salle Prayer, backed by various Lasallian choral groups, La Salle Green Hills' Kundirana, and the Animo chorale.
