TROY – New Sun Belt commissioner Keith Gill attended his first Troy football game on Wednesday night and was impressed with the atmosphere as the Trojans hosted South Alabama in a nationally televised contest.

“Walking around before the game and all of the energy – the students are unbelievable,” Gill said of the student section being packed. “The facility is awesome. I think it’s a great night for Troy in terms of putting on a good show for ESPN2.”

Gill said the exposure the conference gets with the mid-week TV games is important.

“Especially on a night like tonight when we’re the only game in town,” Gill said.
