JONESBORO (9/7/11) - The Arkansas State football team will hold its first official "Red Wolf Walk" under head coach Hugh Freeze this Saturday at 4:00 p.m., when fans will have the opportunity to join members of the ASU band, cheerleading squad, A-Team and Howl to cheer on the Red Wolves as they make their way to the locker room prior to their home opener against Memphis.

A-State will also hold its "Red Wolf Walk" prior the UCA game, which is scheduled for Sept. 24 at ASU Stadium.  The team will walk from the Convocation Center's blue entrance to the ASU Football Facility, utilizing the sidewalk that runs behind the Cooper Alumni Center and between the practice fields and the ASU Pavilion lake.  The team's path will turn toward the end zone facility at Tailgate City for the final stretch to the locker room.

Fans are encouraged to form a tunnel prior to the start of the 4:00 p.m. walk along the pathway down to the locker room to greet the team.  Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.  For more information, contact the ASU Athletics Marketing Department at 870-972-3880.

"We are extremely excited about the 'Red Wolf Walk', and we think this will be a great way for our fans to interact with the team prior to kickoff for the Memphis and UCA games," said ASU Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions.  "We are hopeful that Red Wolves' fans will embrace the walk and help make it a great event."
