This weekend is family weekend at Appalachian State, and the Mountaineers drew a crowd of more than 30,000 to Kidd Brewer Stadium for their 37-29 win over Coastal Carolina on Saturday.
The crowd was loud throughout, the band performed “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” in its three-song set at halftime, and the spectators dressed in black and gold celebrated a win for the 16th time in the past 19 home games.
The setting in the North Carolina mountains gives App State a true home field advantage, and Saturday it gave Coastal players and coaches a taste of what CCU would eventually like to soon become in college football.
