Sept. 3, 2004
A new pregame "Tiger Town" fanfest, a "5th Quarter" dedicated to Princeton fans and ticket promotions for area youth football players and cheerleaders, public service heroes and the Boy and Girl Scouts of America highlight an expanded promotional calendar for Princeton Football in 2004. As part of this season's "Football. Family. Fun...(for) $5" campaign, all these elements and more are available to Princeton fans starting with the home opener against Lafayette at beautiful Princeton Stadium Sat., Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. Fans of all ages are invited to attend the new "Tiger Town" free of charge with their game ticket. This interactive fanfest will include bounce houses, face painters, a chance to take a picture with the Princeton Tiger as well as live performances by the Princeton band and cheerleaders. Located on the Southeast concourse of Princeton Stadium, Tiger Town will be open from one hour prior to kickoff until halftime of every home football game and will also feature "Meet the Tigers" autograph sessions when fans can meet their favorite Princeton athletes in person. The first "Meet the Tigers" will feature student-athletes from both the men's and women's basketball teams. The "5th Quarter" is a new post-game fan event sure to please fans of all ages. Soon after the conclusion of each game, 15 minutes will be placed on the game clock. Fans will then be invited onto the field to get a "final quarter" feel by reliving their favorite football moments or impersonating their favorite Tiger on the Princeton Stadium turf. A series of ticket promotions kick off Sept. 18 when Princeton Athletics invites local area youth football players and cheerleaders to attend the home opener against Lafayette for only $2 for a general admission ticket (advanced sale only). The Lafayette game will also be "Schedule Magnet Night," with the first 5,000 fans in attendance receiving a free 2004 Princeton Football magnet. Princeton Athletics has designated the Oct. 16 game against Brown as Heroes Day. All public servants - from police officers and firefighters to members of the military - will be offered $2 general admission tickets (based on advanced sale). In addition, local area public servants will be on hand to greet kids and display their vehicles, including a police car, a fire truck and an emergency medical unit. The Oct. 23 game against Harvard will feature a halftime "Kick for Cash" contest, presented by Citizen Watch Company. One lucky fan will have a chance to kick a field goal and win $25,000, courtesy of Citizen Watch. In addition, the Harvard game will feature the popular halftime on-field "Parade of Champions" presentation, which will recognize Princeton championship teams from the 2003-04 season. Boy and Girl Scouts of America will be the featured guests Nov. 6 when the Tigers line up against archrival Penn. Scouts will be offered $2 general admission tickets for this game (advanced sale only) and participants in the popular "Reading With the Tigers" community summer reading program will be honored on the field at halftime. The season finale, a Nov. 20 game against Dartmouth, will be Team Jersey Day, presented by Wegman's. All youth football players and cheerleaders who attend this game in their jerseys will receive free admission with an accompanying adult, compliments of Wegman's. This game will also feature the always exciting Amtrak "Punt, Pass & Kick" competition, when a lucky fan will have a chance to win a free Acela Express ticket by using his or her skills to advance the ball up the field and through the goal posts.
