Fans attending Saturday afternoon's game between Missouri State and No. 1 Northern Iowa can expect a few treats in addition to the action on the field.
Stewart Davis, Assistant Director of Corporate Relations and Marketing for State Farm, said the University is planning to make fans a part of the atmosphere.
For starters, State Farm is providing Missouri State fans with thunder sticks to make some noise for the home team. There will be around 5,000 of them in total, which means there needs to be 2,500 fans to hold them.
They'll be handed out on the east side as students enter the game.
It is also Greek Day, which brings along with it some door prizes given out over the course of the game to fans. Finally, Davis says the University will also host a Greek and RA challenge where the highest number of participants from each organization will win prizes.
Missouri State head coach Terry Allen is excited Saturday's game. The reason being Missouri State is playing the top ranked college football team in the nation. Now all he wants is fans, lots of fans, to come witness the action.
Allen considers the showdown between Missouri State and the No. 1 Panthers to be a pretty special occasion.
"The odds of a game this significant doesn't happen very often." Allen said. "It's a very rare opportunity that might only come around once in 20 years."
