I love bringing on so many preferred walk ons. And if history has taught us anything, a couple of these guys will be starters and/or solid contributors in the coming years.

Usually between 2000-3000 in attendance. Seating is all on the East side. Highlight is the QB Club Tailgate outside the Northeast corner of the stadium. $15 for all you can eat BBQ and beer and wine. The game is run as a situational scrimmage. At the end the 2016 Captains are announced, and the John Stewart Winter Warrior award is presented to the guy who has shown the most during offseason workouts and lifting.

Nice weather could bring out 2-3000 fans.

The QB club has a function at the north end of the stadium. The charge has been $15 per person for beer, drinks, burgers & dogs.

You are welcome to attend

Sounds great .! We are all huge tailgate supporters! My brother will bring the cannolis!!!

This is always a great time. John Stewart usually does an hour comedy routine and incorporates the winner of the Winter Warrior into his act. You don't want to miss that.
