CARBONDALE, Ill. – More than 500 fans came out to Saluki Stadium on Thursday evening to meet the 2018 Saluki Football team at the eighth-annual Fan Fest. During an evening of family fun, fans of all ages enjoyed games, activities and free ice cream, as well as getting to know players and coaches, one week before the season opener on Aug. 30 at Murray State. 

Prairie Farms provided free ice cream, and new radio partner River Radio broadcasted live from the event. The Saluki mascots, cheerleaders and shakers, and a live Saluki dog were also present. Several hundred kids signed up for Brown Dawg’s Kids Club.
