The Kennesaw State football team opened its season Saturday, Aug. 31, and fans were not disappointed. A whopping 2,621 students were in attendance for the 59-0 win over Point University.
Students who attended the football games in years past were familiar with the lack of turnout in the student section at Fifth-Third Bank Stadium.
“[It was] great to see the student involvement from start to finish and see them stay engaged throughout the game,” Assistant Athletic Director for Communications David Beall said.
Fifth-Third Bank Stadium was packed not only with fans of the football team, but also with fans of the Marching Owls, the KSU marching band. This season opener served as Band Parent Day for the Marching Owls. Family and friends of band members filled the stadium, not only to cheer on the Owls, but also to enjoy the first halftime performance of the season.
Fans and students alike were not disappointed with the Owl’s performance this past game day. The crowd roared as KSU scored their first touchdown only 41 seconds into the game. The Owls would go on to score three more times in the first quarter alone, giving fans a taste of what to expect throughout the rest of the 2019 season.
Student tickets and parking passes are free for all home games during the regular football season. For more information on how to attend, visit ksuowls.com.
