Plenty of action and excitement can be expected before, during and after Kent State's 2013 season opener Thursday, Aug. 29, against Liberty at 6 p.m. inside Dix Stadium.

General tailgating is available in both the east and west lots of Dix Stadium throughout the day. The stadium ticket office, including will call opens at 3 p.m. The Kent State football team will arrive at the main West Gate at 4 p.m. as the cheerleaders and band line the team's walk into Dix Stadium.

Gates open to the public at 4:30 p.m., when Happy Hour begins with discounted prices on food and drinks until 5:30 p.m. Pregame festivities will include a giant American flag stretched over the field as St. Patrick School students sing the national anthem. Fans will also witness 1,500 balloons launched into the sky, a five-plane flyover by the Kent State School of Aeronautics and fireworks. The game ball will then be presented by three skydivers.

The Fan Zone complete with inflatables, caricature artists and more will be located behind the south end zone from 4:30-6:30 p.m. In an effort to set a single-game attendance record at Dix Stadium, AMETEK will bring fans the largest fireworks display in Portage County history after the game.

During the game, James Harrison's parents will be presented with his framed No. 16 jersey. An All-MAC First team performer for the Golden Flashes in 2001, Harrison is a five-time NFL Pro Bowl selection and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2008.

Chris - It is worth the drive over to Canton to see the HOF. It had been about 15 years or so since I had visited last and it has greatly improved since then. I was there last week at a corporate event where the keynote speaker was .... Sam Rutigliano. LU all up in that joint. :lol: They have invested $27M in upgrades in the past few years. And there is a Quaker Steak & Lube just an exit or so north. What more do you need?

The film exchange did seem to rankle some on the KSU boards.

Not sure. But the stadium is about the same size as Williams Stadium. In other words, it won't be hard to find the folks in red. I do know that the KSU students sit behind our bench on the side of the stadium that looks like a high school set-up.

Also, we've added useful links to the main blog landing page, including links to Liberty's main site, Flames Nation, Flame Fans, Any Given Saturday and The Sports Network. The Washington Post does something similar on it's Tech page with The Key Play and Hokie Sports, etc. Seemed like a good addition.
