FOOTBALL: Howl-O-Ween, EYFT, Ag Day, concessions etc.
Following back-to-back road football games, we’re excited to get our Red Wolves back in front of a home crowd at Centennial Bank Stadium this Saturday, Oct. 29, when we play South Alabama. We’re excited about several promotions we have in place for this weekend’s game, which is our “Ag Day” and features a “Howl-O-Ween” theme.
Howl-O-Ween: Kids, families and fans are encouraged to join in the fun by wearing costumes and taking part in the Howl-O-Ween activities that are set to begin at 12:00 p.m. with a Trunk or Treat experience in Halsey Thrasher Harpole Tailgate City, located directly west of Centennial Bank Stadium. Along with fans and businesses that have a tent located in Tailgate City, A-State student-athletes will be passing out candy leading up to and after the Red Wolf Walk that starts at 12:45 p.m.
The Red Wolves' student-athletes passing out candy will also be signing autographs and taking photos. Led by members of our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), face painting, arts and crafts and additional photograph opportunities will be available in a tent located on the west side of Tailgate City. The Hijinx Kids Zone will be located on the north side of Tailgate City, where special trick-or-treat bags will be distributed.
Additionally, a hayride with our student-athletes and sponsored by Greenway will be running at the football practice fields (located just south of Tailgate City) from 1:00-2:30 p.m.
During the game, the Sound of the Natural State will have a Halloween-themed halftime performance. There will be a costume contest as well, and the winner will receive a party with Howl. Halloween-themed music will also be played at times throughout the game.
Ag Day: Greenway, Case IH, Farm Bureau, Ford and Farmers Union Insurance will serve as the game-day sponsors for Ag Day. In support of Ag Day, our Athletics Department is offering $10 tickets in the east stands. This special ticket promotion is currently available by clicking here or visiting AStateRedWolves.com/Tickets.
Tailgating: Our Athletics Department is also extending our tailgate package promotion for the final three home football games of the season. The tailgate package includes four tickets in the upper west stands, a tailgate plot in Halsey Thrasher Harpole Tailgate City and a parking pass for just $130.00 per game. This option is available by clicking here or visiting AStateRedWolves.com/Tickets.
Game Day Concessions Special: In partnership with Sodexo and A-State concessions, we are excited to offer a hot dog and 16 oz fountain drink game-day special for just $5 for our remaining three home football games. Fans can take advantage of this offer by visiting the concession stands located on the northwest and southeast sides of the concourses. The hot dog and fountain drink special may be purchased with cash or by credit card.
Extra Yard for Teachers: The Red Wolves' Oct. 29 game also represents a great opportunity for schools, students and the community to come support area teachers. The A-State Athletics Department has partnered with the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation and Sun Belt Conference to award grants to six area teachers in conjunction with the "Extra Yard for Teachers" (EYFT) initiative.
As part of the CFP Foundation, EYFT is the largest sports entity specifically designed to support educators. The funds from the six $1,000 awards will be used for classroom projects of the winning applicant's choice. Winners will be recognized during the game.
Premium Tickets: There are several premium ticket options still available for our Oct. 29 game as well. Premium single-game inventory is available for $375 per seat in the Woodard McAlister Family Club and $200 per seat in the North End Zone. Fans may purchase seats on the club level for the remaining home games this season at a pro-rated price of $1,000 per seat and $2,150 for a box of four seats in the North End Zone. Parking is included and these seats can renewed for next season at the normal rate.
