FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State students have a chance to be a part of one the most exhilarating sections in Bulldog Stadium. The student section located in south east sections, near the band, is one of the loudest and proudest portions in Bulldog Stadium.
Fresno State's student section, nearly 4,000 strong, ranks among the biggest and most vociferous in the Western Athletic Conference.
"That is the loudest part of the stadium right there," said defensive lineman Chris Carter. "They pack up that section every game. I'm surprised to see how full they can get it every game. As a team we appreciate their support. They know when to get up and scream and when not to. You know when the offense is on the field it gets quiet and when the defense hits the field they get real loud. The student section is a big part of the atmosphere."
For the football players if the student section is rocking it helps the team get pumped up. Many of the Bulldogs feed off the energy of the student section and think it is important to the atmosphere in the stadium. After games the players head toward the section to celebrate with the band and students.
"Our student section is a huge part of our fan base," said quarterback Ryan Colburn. "They are electric and exciting and it gets us fired up when we see that section full and into the game."
For only $15 students can be a part of all the action and help fire up the Bulldogs against Hawai'i. Tickets are on sale now at the Bulldog ticket office.
"We Are Your Team!" Fresno State hosts WAC rival Hawaii on Saturday, Oct. 9 at Bulldog Stadium at 7 p.m.. Game tickets and mini -- plans are available for the remaining five home games by clicking the tickets icon at the top of this page.
