Taking the family to the high country this weekend. Would love for my boys to get a chance to get on the field and possibly a facilities tour. How would I go about requesting this?

My 12 year old and I were up there last Wednesday and just walked out on the field. The gate was open.

Same, as long as nothing is going on, you should be able to get a few minutes out there. I’ve done it several times with the lad.

See "Stadium Visit" post under Appalachian football

For a tour of the Ricks Athletic Complex, I'd suggest a call to Associate AD Brian Tracy. 828-262-3108 tracybd@appstate.edu

I've taken my son out there on Sunday morning a few times and it's awesome. My understanding is that as long as school is in session, the gate is normally left open.

We've got a recruit camp on Friday so there will be things going on then. One day camp though.

I was thinking about Saturday or Sunday. Are the gates still open for the weekend?

Should be. As East said as long as school is in session and nothing else is going on then the gates are usually open. Summer 2 goes until Aug 7th. And our camp is Friday only. I've seen a few pics from the stadium posted this morning from people visiting campus so they are open today.

Thank you everyone for the information. I look forward to showing my boys the stadium. They will love it.
