College football is coming to Anderson University.
And Trojan Athletics wants your help celebrating the inaugural season.
On Saturday, August 24, AU is dedicating Spero Financial Field at Melvin and Dollie Younts Stadium and the Trojan Football Fieldhouse, both located at 341 Williamston Road in Anderson. The grand opening festivities, which are free to the public, begin at 10:30 a.m.
With seating for about 5,000 fans, there is ample space for a capacity crowd to witness the dedication ceremony. Immediately following the event, Trojan Football coaches and players will be on hand to meet and greet visitors as part of the inaugural Trojan Football Fan Day. Guests may also tour the Trojan Football Facility.
The dedication ceremony comes as the campus community prepares for the first college football game in Anderson University’s 113-year history. In addition, Trojan Athletics is hosting a community pep rally on Tuesday, September 3, at 7 p.m. at Wren Park in downtown Anderson. The Trojans play their first game on Saturday, September 7 at Younts Stadium. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.
