The annual ‘Youth Football Night’ is scheduled for the season opener, the Rutgers football program announced on Tuesday.
The promotion is scheduled for Rutgers football’s game against Howard on Thursday, Aug. 29. Kickoff is 6:00 p.m. Fireworks will follow the game.
All teams participating in the promotion will receive a Rutgers t-shirt in addition to a helmet decal. Photos of the teams in attendance will be displayed on the in-stadium video screen throughout the game.
Regular promotions including the Rutgers Boardwalk will be available for all fans in attendance at the season opener. The Rutgers Boardwalk, which has been featured multiple times by the Big Ten Network, blends New Jersey’s famous boardwalk atmosphere with carnival games and food as well as football-related themes.
Rutgers is coming off a strong season where they finished 7-6 (3-6 Big Ten) and defeated Miami in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
