Anyone aware is the date is already set for fan fest this year?
Suggestion: open football wing for viewing? I have yet to get in there.
Practice starts on August 4th with the first week of closed practices, next week at Fort Drum, so Friday of the following week--August 22--would be my best guesstimate. But then again, with only 25 days from the start of practice until the 'Nova game plus the IPF construction going on by the practice fields, maybe they will roll FanFest into the Fort Drum scrimmage. Or maybe cancel it all together this year.
How's that for a definitive answer?
This is my thought also. It's always on the Friday of the first week. And I believe the first day in full pads? The 22nd is only one week til kickoff, so I imagined earlier than that.C Bomb said:If the pattern of the last few years hold true, then look for friday the 8th for fan fest. My family's annual summer trek to the homeland has been in the first few weeks of August and has coincided nicely with the past few. If they do it like last year, then they will be heading up to Drum that weekend for their week of practice up there, with the scrimmage being held on the 15th. That would then give the team two weeks to prepare for the opening game on the 29th. I write this in North Carolina. I have no connection to the program. I only go off of the past few instances.

Has anyone heard anything?
Of public interest, there will be one opportunity for fans to watch practice, and that will be at the annual Fan Fest held Aug. 9. Fan Fest will run from 3-7 p.m., with practice overlapping from 4:45-6:40 p.m.

Of course, they don't mention where the Fan Fest will be ... Dome? Manley? Parking Lot?
Great Idea.Fan Fest will be in the SU Soccer Stadium guys. Makes the most sense to me. Big field, stands, a lot of open area for the kids on the other side of the field. And there's a video board on that field.
Yes. Saturday August 9th at the Soccer Stadium from 3-7PM.
I'd like to say I'll see you all there but I'll be in NYC for a Yankees game! See you all August 29TH!
Hey DB ... Last year season ticket holders were able to pick up their ticket books at Fanfest. Will they be available next week, or do we have to wait for them to be mailed out?
