Go Catawba!! Get your tailgating gear ready; football season is right around the corner. The team has been practicing and is eager to get the season underway. However, the players are not the only reason that football season is so exciting. No football game is complete without the fans there to cheer the team on.
This season, Catawba has a new plan to fill Shuford Stadium for home games. The Catawba Chiefs Club has decided that for each home game a different organization or group will be offered free admission into the stadium. These “themed game days” are an attempt to expose more people in the local community to Catawba football. Each person that receives free admission also gets free admission for three guests.
Below is a list of the themes for each home football game:
September 4th, Catawba vs. St. Augustine- Police Officers, Firefighters, and Emergency Responders
September 18th, Catawba vs. Shaw University- Youth Sports: any youth 14 and younger who wears their team shirt
October 16th, Catawba vs. Carson-Newman- employees of Rowan Regional Hospital and Veterans Administration Hospital: employees must show ID at the gate
November 6th, Catawba vs. Tusculum- Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts will be admitted by wearing their uniforms
Catawba hopes that each themed game day will bring more spectators to the games. We want to fill up that stadium. Let’s pack the stands!!
