Monmouth College football fans will not only get new
and improved seating when the Fighting Scots open their home season
Saturday against Lawrence University, they won’t have to pay a dime
to get into the game.
President Mauri Ditzler announced last week the college will
offer free admission to all of the Scots regular season football
games at the newly constructed April Zorn Memorial Stadium. J. Lance
Cavanaugh, vice president for development and college relations,
said the council wanted to offer the community more opportunities to
visit the campus.
"We have decided to not charge admission to the games, at least
for this season, so members of the community can bring their
families and friends to the games at no out-of-pocket expense and
enjoy being part of the excitement of Fighting Scots football," he
said. "We are very excited about the progress happening at Monmouth
College, and we want to encourage people from the Monmouth area to
come to the campus. The new stadium is a great venue. We want big
crowds at our football games – having a strong home-field advantage
will help our team and build our winning tradition."
The stadium’s expanded bleachers increased the seating capacity
to 2,600, nearly double the previous 1,400. Fans on the home side of
the field will also have the option to sit on grass terraces at
either end of the bleachers.
Kickoffs for all Monmouth College home football games this fall
are scheduled for 1 p.m.
