2023 MARSHALL FOOTBALL TICKETS | 2023 Single-Game Parking Passes
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Athletics is announcing an enhanced Fan Fest and Thunder Walk prior to 2023 Marshall Football games as a continuing part of its "Fans First" initiative.
"Engaging our fans is our No. 1 priority and these two events are a great opportunity to showcase that," said Ryan Crisp, Associated Athletic Director of Annual Giving, Ticket Sales and Fan Engagement.
One of the biggest highlights of the enhanced 2023 pre-game festivities will be the Golden Ticket at the Thunder Walk, which will take place 2 hours, 30 minutes prior to every home game.
During the Thunder Walk, Marshall cheerleaders will pass out envelopes to the first 100 kids in attendance. One envelope will contain the Golden Ticket, which gives the ticketholder the opportunity to run out on the field and grab the kicking tee following the first Marshall kickoff.
Once the Thunder Walk is complete, Fan Fest will serve as the ultimate place for family fun prior to each home game during the 2023 season.
Located on the sidewalk between the Marshall Rec Center and the Physical Plant, Fan Fest offers a Live DJ, inflatables, food trucks, snow cones, face painting, a balloon artist and much more.
Fan Fest will begin 2 hours, 15 minutes prior to game-time and run until there are 15 minutes left before kickoff, building excitement and energy for the game while leaving fans ample time to get to their seats to cheer on the Thundering Herd.
"Please come out and support us as we look to make your experience the best we can," Crisp said.
Fan Fest is open to all fans and free to attend. Food and drinks are not included.
Fans are encouraged to park in the Third Avenue Parking Garage located across from the Cam Henderson Center where they can walk directly across the street to Fan Fest. Fans can pre-purchase their parking passes for the garage by clicking HERE.
