Collegiate athletics have long played an integral role in higher education in the United States. The popularity of collegiate football in America is unprecedented. “The fan frenzy surrounding teams, games, and the sport itself, is borderline barmy. Aptly described as the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, fan emotions in college football are rampant” (Moore, B., 2010). Football programs are able to generate a great deal of revenue through gate receipts (Groza, M. D., 2010). Football game day attendance is also an excellent proxy for other revenues such apparel sales and concessions.

A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports. College football has gained the reputation for becoming the most celebrated sport. The best way to celebrate a college football game is tailgating. Tailgating and college football have become such a tradition that it is hard to see one happening

The controversy behind the mascot dates back decades, beginning in 1972 Native American leaders urged former team President Edward Bennett Williams to lose the Redskin mascot. These delegations were ineffective in changing the name. However, they were somewhat affective and resulted in the lyrics of their fight song changing from “Scalp ‘um” to “Beat ‘em” (Shapira, 2016). The controversy died down until recent years with recent up rise regarding the mascot. The consensual argument of rallying Native Americans can be summed up by one statement by a respondent regarding the term, “… a racist holdover from another day, a time when Indians were depicted as violent, ignorant and savages by whites who largely were equally violent, ignorant and

In fact, with all the Cornhuskers fans in the house, you may even prefer coming to this restaurant than going to the stadium.

Rare is it that warmth crowds wrath for the spotlight when the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Colorado Buffaloes crack helmets in their annual Big Eight showdown. Yet that was the mood this season at chilly Memorial Stadium in Lincoln as fans applauded loudly every senior playing his final home game.

Football is back in Aggie Land! Well for the Spring at least; as the North Carolina Agriculture & Technical State University football team held their annual Blue vs Gold Spring Game on last Sunday afternoon. There were some big plays, some stand out players and a hard hitting action last Sunday, so let’s hop in.

As an Iowa State student, I enjoy going to the games and supporting my school and team. The games are what I look forward to every weekend. There is a common characteristic of the love for Iowa State and Iowa State’s athletic teams in the stadium. The excitement from all the students and other Iowa State fans brings joy to my eyes. My favorite part of the football games is when all the fans in the student section are standing on the bleachers and cheering together and supporting our team. Although our football may not be very good, we still go to the all games and see our football players do the best they can and bring a win for Iowa State University. Everyone enjoys when the fight song plays and when we sing all the common cheers all together. The stadium gets so loud when there is an exciting play that happens in the game. When there is a touchdown for Iowa State the stadium gets so loud that I can’t even hear myself think and I enjoy the commotion from everyone where we all go around and high-five the people around us. With so many fans, the stadium must have a good size to hold all the cheering fans in one place. Because of so many fans, the stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference (by capacity) and the third newest in the conference. The record for most attendees to a single-game was against Kansas State with an attendance 56,800 people

For better or worse, we often don’t know until the last play of the game. Success of local bars and restaurants can hinge on a win or loss during the home game season. Our spending habits correlate with the success of the men on the field representing us as Huskers. Their name recognition helps charities and other organizations gain funding and volunteers. The essence of the red N can be seen on business signs, households, flags, bumper stickers, and even office supplies. We can feel the experience of Husker nation in most parts of our social lives. We connect easily with the ecstatic atmosphere we experience when attending games, and find comfort in products that reconnect us with that place. When our beloved team loses a game, we spend less money on recreation and business suffers. Knowing this, we have at least 7 home games a year, to promote our economy. The town of Lincoln, Nebraska, is truly a town that bleeds Husker

As the weekend begins, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s campus transforms from lethargic into a jocund atmosphere. While some look forward to parties on the weekends, others look towards Saturday, a day where, for three hours, a fan will sit in the stands and observe one of America’s most famous sports: football. Playing a major role in American culture, football has become a lifestyle for many that involves tailgating, socializing, and friendly rivalries. Today, anyone can experience the thrill, heartaches and triumphs of football just by observing. UNC Charlotte provides a first-hand experience of this popular sport for the community, alumni, students, and staff. This past game was the homecoming game against Florida International University. Fans near and far came to the Jerry Richardson Stadium to watch the Niners take on the Panthers. Through its modern design and lively ambience, the Jerry Richardson Stadium of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte provides a unique experience for all football lovers.

Inside the stadium, is where you can find the greatest time. Michigan stadium is a mecca for college football fans. But it’s not just the football fans that love this stadium. People from all over come to the stadium to have the greatest hot dog ever assembled, “The Wolverine Dog,”. The smell of these hot dogs greets every fan as they walk in. Imagine the greatest smelling food, now multiply that by one million that’s the smell of this hot dog. The grass is as green as an emerald topped off with the Michigan logo in the middle. One-hundred nine-thousand one people fills the blue bleachers that the stadium has every single weekend during

Southwestern University: F The recent success of Southwestern University’s football program is causing SWU’s president, Joel Wisner, more problems than he faced during the team’s losing era in the early 1990s. For one thing, increasing game-day attendance is squeezing the town of Stephenville, Texas and the campus. Complaints are arising over parking, seating, concession prices, and even a shortage of programs at some games. Dr. Wisner, once again, turns to his stadium manager, Hank Maddux. This time, he needs a guaranteed revenue stream to help fuel the stadium expansion. One source of income could easily be the high-profit game programs. Selling for $6 each, programs are a tricky business. Under substantial pressure from

The Nebraska football stadium, otherwise known as the Memorial Stadium, is one of the most famous stadiums ever. There have been 360 and counting consecutive sellouts in this stadium. In fact it’s a world record, beating second place by more than 100 games. As you can probably tell I get a little nerdy about this kind of stuff. With that information, on the other hand, this shows how the Nebraska Cornhuskers have the best college football fans in history. When I joyfully walked into the stadium the pregame feeling melted with the sun and I began to feel that game time feeling. This is when your mind is only set to the game in front of
