Shades of black and gold filled the horizon, as the sound of “Hi Hi Yikas,’” App State’s fight song, pounded in the ears of over 40,000 football fans.
Along to the tune, the crowd screamed:
“Go Apps!”
“Fight Apps!”
“Go, fight, kick … ”
This was not just any college football game; this was an App State football game.
On Sept. 3, a record 40,168 football fans packed Kidd Brewer Stadium to attend the thrilling, and for some, heartbreaking App State-North Carolina game, smashing the previous record of 35,126 attendees set in 2017.
