The Akron Zips football team is giving one lucky fan the opportunity to call plays during the team's first offensive series of the Sept. 12 home opener against Robert Morris. This promotion, titled "Offensive Coordinator of the Game," is open exclusively to current season ticket holders.
Every season ticket holder is automatically entered into a random drawing for the chance to participate, with each ticket counting as an entry. Additional entries can be earned by referring new season ticket holders. Akron Athletic Director Dr. Andrew T. Goodrich stated that the initiative aims to "bring our fans closer to the program" and provide a supporter with a "seat at the table, right alongside our coaching staff."
Season tickets for the Zips are priced between $75 and $181, making the promotion accessible to a wide range of fans. The team is looking for innovative ways to engage its fanbase, and this unique opportunity is designed to create excitement around the upcoming season.
