Just saw this on twitter from the alum association.

We are introducing the Huskie 4-Paw Pack this fall for home football games! The pack includes four 4 game tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas or waters, and 1 parking pass* (Convocation Center lot) for only $50!

Come join us on September 21 to watch NIU take on Eastern Illinois. Kickoff is 6:00 p.m. Be sure to wear white and help us "white out" Huskie Stadium.

*Parking pass will be included in your confirmation email. Tickets and concession voucher will be available for pick up at Huskie Stadium will call.

Whether it works or not, I like that they are trying harder to get people to show up.

That is dirt cheap. That is way too affordable!

Home scheduling problems aside, if you are not at 95% capacity in Huskie Stadium for the first home game after an Orange Bowl with a 2-0 team, I echo another comment I saw on here in that I give up on our fans.

It's not as good of a deal as the Huskieland package ($10 per game and you get $10 in concessions).

Steal.....

White Out? I actually don't have any white NIU gear...that's a legit excuse to buy some more Huskie Gear right?

They are almost paying you to go.

So it seems like our most expensive tickets are season tickets.

Both are incredible values compared to the $42 per ticket that I paid for Purdue NIU tickets. Don't even ask me what it would cost my wife and I to watch her alma mater in Cols. Ohio

I'm wearing red. Gotta go with the shirts that have us at 2-0.

White makes no sense. Our school colors are red and black. Those are the colors of our home uniforms. Those are the colors that should be worn by NIU fans. Let the EIU fans wear white. I believe it's one of their colors, anyway.

If the school is going to do a white out, do it right. White unis for the team and a white tshirt for every person in the stadium. Passing out 3,000 white tshirts won't make it a white out.

Sounds like a great value, hopefully it fills the stadium. I still have strange dreams where we can get as many fans to a game as the SEC schools get to a per season open practice. Here's hoping...

Another stupid good value.

Huh? They pass out only a few thousand shirts for the red out and black out games, if even that, and they look great. LOTS of schools are doing white outs these days. It's becoming very popular.

I still say I expect a surprise uniform this week with white pants and white helmets.

If it's a white out white on white uniforms would be pretty cool.

also, it will be in the 50s that evening, I don't have a white hoodie---sorry, I am wearing red and black

i like WMUs helmets sans the oars. A similar helmet with a big huskie head in black outline one a white helmet would be interesting. but it won't happen.

I don't care what color the fans are supposed to wear as long as its a good crowd
