TROY – A crowded Tailgate Terrace two hours before kickoff, a pregame military appreciation celebration with an American flag stretching the length of the football field and another thrilling comeback
There was a buzz in the air walking around the tailgate area before Troy took on Army on Saturday afternoon. The smell of burgers grilling and fish frying was accompanied by music playing as Troy fans socialized outside the gates of Veterans Memorial Stadium.
While the other two games really shouldn’t factor into what’s happening at Troy, quite honestly it typically does make a difference in the attendance here. While the stadium wasn’t exactly jam-packed, all tickets were sold in advance and approximately 100 standing room only tickets were made available and purchased on Saturday as well. A strong showing of Army fans and soldiers from nearby bases mixed in with the vocal Troy fans made for a tremendous setting.
Sumrall has turned the program back around with many of the same players former coach Chip Lindsey struggled with during his three losing seasons at the helm.
