WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Fans attending the Colts-Saints football game hosted by Purdue this Saturday, Aug. 12, will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves before, during and after the contest.
From 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., the ATA Colts FunZone will be open in the North Parking Lot of Ross-Ade Stadium. The FunZone will feature a number of interactive games, as well as a meet-and-greet session with the Colts cheerleaders and mascots. A live rhythm-and-blues band also will be performing on the concourse prior to the 7 p.m. kickoff.
At halftime, four randomly selected fans will have a chance to win as much as $300 in groceries through a promotion sponsored by Marsh Supermarkets. Grocery carts will be placed at the 10-, 20- and 30-yard lines, and contestants will attempt to toss footballs into the buggies from various locations on the field. Winners who successfully land a ball into the carts will be awarded Marsh gift certificates in $100, $200 and $300 increments.
After the game, fans will be encouraged to remain in their seats to watch a fireworks display. The staging area will be the grand Prix track, at the corner of Northwestern Avenue and Cherry Lane.
