East Tennessee State University

Opening four hours before kickoff, the Food City Fan Zone will include cornhole, the BrightRidge Media Zone, and the Grill Talk Pregame Show with the Voice of the Bucs Jay Sandos. Fans can pick up their Wagon Wheel rally towel in the Food City Fan Zone as well.

Includes complimentary Pepsi products and a space for fans to watch the top college football games around the country and "Grill Talk" with Jay Sandos.

Located in the BrightRidge Media Zone, the show is hosted by the Voice of the Bucs, Jay Sandos, and will wrap up when the Buc Walk begins.

Beginning at the ETSU Athletic Center two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff, the Buc Walk is a tradition connecting everyone in Blue & Gold. The Bucs will move west adjacent to the parking garage and turn south on Jack Vest Drive toward the stadium. Led by the cheer and dance teams and the Marching Bucs, the Buc Walk will move through the fan tailgate areas before concluding as the team enters the stadium through the Bank of Tennessee Arch. At that time, the Marching Bucs will face east toward the students and play a salute to campus. 

As soon as the third quarter ends, we invite all fans to sing along with Wagon Wheel as we prepare for the final quarter of action. Wagon Wheel rally towels are available at the Food City Fan Zone, so make sure to pick yours up before entering the stadium. 

The fan-favorite selection of the Kick it for Clips by Great Clips challenge, Food City Quarterback Skills Competition, Johnny Brusco's Pizza Scream, and the BrightRidge HiSpeed Race all return for 2025.
