Fans Invited to Cheer the Team on Walk from Tucker Center to Stadium

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldog fans from across campus and in the community are invited to a DAWG Walk on Thursday, Sept. 1, at 4 p.m. The route begins at Tucker Student Center’s back patio. Cheer on the team as it heads to the locker room before the first Thursday night season opener at home in program history.

As the football team makes its way to the stadium, fans are encouraged to line the route, beginning on the sidewalk leading from the back of Tucker. The Marching Bulldogs will play for the celebration.
