Mercer Football Fan Day Scheduled for Thursday

MACON, Ga. – The Mercer University football team will be hosting Fan Day at Mercer University Stadium on Thursday, August 14, at 5:30 p.m., prior to the Bears’ final scrimmage of the 2014 fall camp.

“We would love to have people come over to the football stadium right after work this Thursday at 5:30 p.m,” said head coach Bobby Lamb. “We will have posters and a lot of things going on. You can meet your favorite player and get your picture taken and it’s just a great time for our guys to connect with the community.”

The team is scheduled to greet the crowd, give out official team posters and sign autographs outside the main entrance to the stadium at 5:30 p.m. Mercer will conclude the free event with a 7 p.m. scrimmage.

“At 7 p.m. we will kick it off for another scrimmage,” said Lamb. “We are really looking forward to that since it will be exactly two weeks before we kick it off against Reinhardt.”

The Bears open the 2014 season two weeks later on August 28, when they host Reinhardt for a 7 p.m. contest. Tickets for reserved seating are still on sale through the Mercer Ticket Office. Fans can purchase tickets online at tickets.mercer.edu or by calling the Mercer Ticket Office at (478) 301-5470.
