Akron Football Offering Opportunity for Fans to Call Plays
The Akron Zips announced perhaps the most unique promotion in sports on Tuesday, in which the winner can call plays on Sept. 12.
Akron University's football program is offering a unique opportunity for fans to call offensive plays during home opener against Robert Morris on September 12. A lucky season-ticket holder will be selected to serve as the offensive coordinator for the game and script the opening drive. Akron head coach Joe Moorhead is excited about this unprecedented experience, stating, "This will give our fans a behind-the-scenes look never seen before."
The winner will be either a current season-ticket holder or someone who signs up for season tickets before August 19. Coach Moorhead will work closely with the contest winner. Akron finished the previous season with a 5-7 record, including 3-3 at home. The selection process aims to bring fans closer to the program, according to Akron's director of athletics, Dr. Andrew T. Goodrich.
He emphasized that this contest gives a loyal supporter a seat at the table, alongside the coaching staff, on the biggest night of the season.
