WEST POINT, N.Y. - Army football fans will have the chance to experience game day at historic Michie Stadium like never before if they so choose. Two "experience" auction offers for this Saturday's Army-Vanderbilt football game will close Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST. Place your bid now!
The first of two experience possibilities for the Black Knights' Oct. 10 clash with Vanderbilt, the top bidder will receive unparalleled access and treatment during a special game day experience. This experience will afford the winning bidder four tickets in Section 27, a parking pass, two complete sets of press packets, an appearance for one member of the winning bid on the Army Football Tailgate Show (10 a.m.), an invitation for four to the Athletic Director's Tailgate (10:07-10:45 a.m.) and four on-field passes (10:45-11:30 a.m.) in the back of the South end zone during Army's warm-up.
A very similar package is also being offered, but features the unique opportunity to experience the Oct. 10 Vanderbilt game from the luxury of Hoffman Press Box. Included in this package are two Felix "Doc" Blanchard bobblehead dolls, two complete press packets, two credentials, one parking pass, an appearance on the Army Football Tailgate Show (10:30 a.m.), an on-field experience (10:35-11:25 a.m.) in the back of the South end zone during Army's warm-up, two seats in Hoffman Press Box, where lunch is included.
Two other new and exciting items up for bid commemorate Joe Steffy Day, which West Point celebrated with a win on Sept. 19 against Ball State. Both signed and unsigned commemorative, game-used footballs are now up for auction. The Nike balls were used during Army's 24-17 win against Ball State on Sept. 19 and feature a No. 61 stamp. The autographed option was signed by members of the 2009-10 Black Knights. Joe Steffy, Army's Outland Trophy winner as the nation's outstanding lineman, wore that uniform number during his All-American career and it was retired during a halftime ceremony.
Several other items remain on the auction block. Click here to place your bid today!
