thanks for posting this article.

At Old Dominion, the pregame festival lasts 2 1/2 hours long and wraps up with the Monarch March, which allows golf carts of fans to follow the team on a walk through campus.

But nothing is better then when they come out of the tunnel.

That is one of my favorite pictures when they are about to run out of the tunnel and are led by Wilder.
I don't know why they don't do more actually to introduce the team onto the field like the inflatable they use at basketball games and the fog machine.

By the way did anybody else read in that article when GSU is doing? Sounds like a great idea.

Re: FCS programs try to maximize fan interest
Is this true?
"Georgia State has been in contact with the 'Guinness Book of World Records' to try to organize such halftime or postgame events as the 'World's Largest Dodgeball Game' or 'World's Largest Flip-Flop Race.'"
That and the chili cook-off sound...obviously necessary for football entertainment.
Much admiration to Montana State all any other programs that Military Appreciation events. The April Fools Day gimmick is pretty inventive.

The Bobcat Prowl at MSU is pretty cool. They shut down the block of street that the stadium is on for the game and the teams walk together with the band from the fieldhouse to the stadium where the fans like the path.

Re: FCS programs try to maximize fan interest
Don't give two shits about the walk up to the stadium. I could do that shit in a wheelchair.
All that matters is game time.
