Aggie Football Family Fun Day Set For Saturday, August 21

 Utah State’s fifth-annual Aggie Football Family Fun Day, sponsored by Macey’s Foods, will be held Saturday, August 21 at Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium in conjunction with the USU football scrimmage.  The event provides fans a chance to meet USU football players and coaches, participate in games and activities as well as pickup season tickets.

Two Wasatch Front Football League (WFFL) youth games start the day’s action, kicking off at 8 a.m.  Games and activities will get started on the South Concourse of Romney Stadium at 12:30 p.m., while USU football’s scrimmage gets underway at 1 p.m. 

Following the scrimmage, fans can get their favorite Aggie autographs and play catch with a USU player on the field.  There is no cost to attend the event and everyone is welcome to meet the Aggies, head coach Gary Andersen and the Utah State coaching staff that afternoon.

Season tickets as well as two-game packages will be available for purchase at the Romney Stadium Box Office, which is located on the South end of Romney Stadium.  Season tickets will also be available for pickup for fans that ordered reserved west or east side season tickets prior to July 20, as well as anyone who purchased general admission, Junior Aggie, or family plan tickets.  Fans that ordered reserved west or east side season tickets after July 20 will need to pick up their tickets from the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum Ticket Office the week of the first home game beginning Tuesday, Sept. 7. 

DownEast Home & Clothing will also be at Aggie Football Family Fun Day with a big $5 tent sale set up on the south concourse.
