Stull Asks Students To Attend Rice Game, Explains What Spurred Tailgating Changes
UTEP Athletic Director Bob Stull is pleading for UTEP students to attend this Saturday’s homecoming game against Rice at the Sun Bowl.
In a column in the UTEP newspaper, The Prospector, Stull said, “This is an important step in the pursuit of a Conference USA West Division title. No stadium in college football is more electric than when 50,000 fans are rocking the Sun Bowl … It is YOU ? the students ? who make a huge difference in the team’s success!
Stull also explained why changes were made to the tailgating policy on UTEP’s inner campus before the last home game against Memphis.
“We have always encouraged tailgating on our campus ? that’s what makes the UTEP football game day experience special! We want to foster a safe, but fun, environment for tailgating. Unfortunately, in recent years this safe environment has been threatened, particularly with the influx of underage drinkers on campus. We have found that many people are coming to our campus just to party and aren’t even going to the game. Sad to say, it only takes a few disruptive individuals to spoil the healthy tailgating experience of responsible fan,” Stull said.
