The Valparaiso University Department of Athletics has announced new elements enhancing the fan experience at home football games at Brown Field this season, adding to the excitement of Year 1 under head coach Andy Waddle.
 
This season, an upgraded endzone hospitality suite for Valpo Victory Fund members based on donation levels will be available. In addition, fans will have the option to purchase access to the endzone suite on a game-by-game basis. This access level includes upgraded premium menu items that change each game inside the endzone suite, access to a "Chalk Talk" from a member of the coaching staff prior to the game and access to heat during cold weather.

Another exciting change to the gameday experience is the inflatable kids zone moving closer to the stadium in the shaded areas around the "grove" location. Upgraded concession options as well as new and increased satellite points-of-sale both outside and inside the stadium will help reduce lines for beverage and alcohol sales. Food trucks will be available around the kids zone for additional options for family and food outside the stadium prior to entering Brown Field. As in years past, all food and beverage purchased outside of Brown Field will need to be consumed or disposed of prior to entering the stadium.
 
New a-la-carte premium tailgate space packages in the grove area are available for purchase this year. This purchase includes access to the tent, tables and chairs that are completely set up for fans to park, unload and begin the fun.

In addition, new upgraded group ticket experience options are available. New in-game fan experience elements will debut this season, aiming to engage all fans in attendance. After the season kicks off on Aug. 30 vs. Virginia Lynchburg at 1 p.m. at Brown Field, the Popcorn Fest Finale game will take place on Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. vs. Adrian College followed by a postgame fireworks show.
