GAMEDAY PROMOTIONS

After a successful turnout and promotions for the season-opening game against Baylor, Texas State Athletics is, again, offering several game day attractions and promotions for Saturday's upcoming game against UIW. 
 
Once again, the Katzengarten field level experience, featuring lounge furniture, tents, photo booths, tailgate games and unique concessions will be made available to all fans in the south end zone of Bobcat Stadium.  During the game, Redfin Mobile Kitchen, an Austin food truck favorite, will hand out 2,000 free Chicken Chipotle tacos.
 
Texas State Athletics is continuing its live music series centered around game day, and Saturday's game will feature a live performance by Ben Cearley, a Texas State alum and popular country musician in the Cheatham Street, Texas community, who will play live on the Tailgate Central music stage prior to kickoff. 
 
HEROES DAY RECOGNITION

This Saturday is Heroes Day at Bobcat Stadium when Texas State Football hosts UIW at 6:00 p.m.  The Heroes Day event will include the honoring of local medical professionals and essential workers who have helped guide Texas State University and the San Marcos Community through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
 
In addition to Texas State Athletics' recognition of local heroes, Texas State University's student government, along with the Mitte School of Art and Design, are honoring university first responders for their support of students throughout the pandemic.  

"We hope our fans are fired up to welcome the Bobcats back after our victory over FIU and join us for our Heroes Day at Bobcat Stadium," said Texas State Athletics Director Don Coryell.  "We will continue to strive to give everyone who visits Bobcat Stadium the best experience we possibly can". 
 
IMPROVEMENTS FOLLOWING HOME OPENER

Saturday's game against UIW is sponsored by Coca-Cola and marks the second home game of the season for the Bobcats who hosted Baylor on September 4th, drawing a crowd of 26,573, the sixth-largest crowd in the 40-year history of Bobcat Stadium.
 
"I want to thank all of those who attended our season opener," said Coryell.  "The atmosphere that the crowd created made for an exciting football game, we are hoping to have a similar turnout this weekend for Incarnate Word."
 
More than 6,000 Texas State University students were in attendance for the Bobcats home opener against Baylor, which featured new amenities at Bobcat Stadium, including the fan friendly Katzengarten at field level in the south end zone, the return of Tailgate Central and a pregame concert.
 
"After the limitations of last year, we set out to make our season opener against Baylor the best game day atmosphere possible and show our fans how much we appreciate them being back at Bobcat Stadium," said Coryell.  
 
"All in all, I would summarize our operations as a success, but I also want to acknowledge that there were a number of problems which we will address ahead of the next home game," said Coryell.  "Our goal is to ensure that everything, from concessions, to entertainment, tailgating, and our TV broadcast is running smoothly." 
 
"We are so appreciative of our students and fans showing up, being loud, and supporting our football team at the home opener this past weekend," said Coryell.  "It was great to have our student body back on campus and at Bobcat Stadium.  However, I want to remind all our fans that support is best when it is loud and positive; it should also be good-natured and sportsmanlike.  We want to treat opposing fans and visitors to our athletic events with the utmost respect."
