Cullowhee, N.C. – Western Carolina University is excited to invite spectators back to E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field for this Saturday's Southern Conference football game against The Citadel with kickoff at 2:30 p.m.
Before the season, Saturday's game was chosen as WCU's annual "Heroes Day" game—a moniker that seems even more appropriate given the region's recent struggles. Presented by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate – Heritage, all active duty and veteran military personnel, as well as civil servants such as police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, receive free admission when presenting identification at the Whitmire Stadium ticket booths on game day. WCU and Catamount Athletics would also extend the same invitation to all utility workers in the area working the countless hours assisting with the Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.
