Promotions Announced for Home Football Games

carson-newman sports logoThe Carson-Newman Athletic Promotions staff has set promotions for all of C-N football’s home games.

The season opener against Edinboro on Sept. 4 has been designated Eagle Pride Day. Carson-Newman students are encouraged to wear their craziest outfits.  Students can win prizes for being the “best” dressed – up to 25 dollars. 

In partnership with the NCAA, the Mars Hill game has been designated Take a Kid to the Game Day.  Entering its 19th year with NCAA Football, the Take A Kid to the Game (TAKG) program provides NCAA member institutions with an opportunity for community outreach as it introduces area youth to its athletics programs.  Children can enjoy a variety of activities in conjunction with the game.

Homecoming hits on October 25 when North Greenville comes to town for a 3 p.m. kick with the Eagles.  That game will also mark the 50-year reunion of Carson-Newman’s 1965 national championship baseball team. 

When defending national runner-up Lenoir-Rhyne comes to town, the Eagles will honor the Baptist Builders for their efforts. 

Carson-Newman closes out the season on Nov. 15 against Wingate.  The game will mark Senior Day, Parents’ Day and Military Appreciation Day. 

For tickets to C-N football games this year, call 865-471-3396.
