\"March<\/a>When Baylor football played at Notre Dame<\/a> a decade or so ago, some friends and I roadtripped it up to South Bend for the game. Even as an opposing fan, there was a lot to appreciate in the Fighting Irish traditions — starting well before gametime with their team’s arrival at the stadium as the players walk to the locker room through a line of fans cheering them on.<\/p>\n

Beginning with Baylor’s home opener Sept. 4 against Sam Houston State, Bear fans will have a chance to support our football student-athletes in a similar manner. Two and a half hours before the kickoff of each home game, the team will arrive at Floyd Casey Stadium, being dropped off at the Baylor Sports Network tent (more on that in a second) near Touchdown Alley. The “March of the Bears” will then continue through the tailgating area on the way to pregame warm-ups.<\/p>\n

Before and\/or after the team’s arrival, stop by the Baylor Sports Network tent (marked on the map at right; click for bigger version<\/a>) for free hot dogs and drinks and to meet with fellow alumni and friends, including Walter Abercrombie and other Baylor football greats. Then join the Sports Network<\/a> for other events throughout the year, including pre-game events on the road at TCU<\/a> and at Rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n
