Although it looked a little different than normal years, App State football did something for the first time in 2020 during Thursday night’s 45-17 win over Sun Belt foe Arkansas State: play a game at Kidd Brewer Stadium in front of fans.
“It’s just a different feeling when you have fans out there to support you, even if it’s 2,100,” senior quarterback Zac Thomas said. “I think it gave us life especially when big plays happened, those guys cheering for us, not only just our teammates but the people in the stands.”
Under Gov. Roy Cooper’s guidelines, The Rock was open at 7% capacity and 2,100 fans attended.
