The Making of a Special Spectators Game Day Event: The Game Experience

Fourth in a series on the Special Spectators game day events


This is what every kid and family member waits for...THE GAME!



The game experience is the most exciting part of the day for the children. From kickoff to the final whistle, the atmosphere is filled with excitement.


On-Field Introduction:


At many of our events, the Special Spectators are invited onto the field for an introduction to the crowd. The on-field introduction is the most powerful and memorable of all the activities. At some universities, as many as 107,000 fans have given these children a standing ovation for the courage they show from day-to-day.

Here you see several different photographs taken of the halftime or in-game introduction. Some of the more memorable on-field moments have occurred at the University of Tennessee, where 107,000 fans gave the Special Spectators a standing ovation. Others include the University of Colorado and the University of Oklahoma among others.
