The fans will be treated to the sport of rugby league at its highest level. Students with an ID only pay $5, and all young people under the age of 18 enter for free; so, all of you leap year babies or "young" freshman, that means you! Fox Sports World will be presenting the game LIVE in Australia and the U.S. and delayed to England. Drexel University's sports management students, faculty and staff will play a role in almost all of the game-day operations from ticket-taking to interviewing players for the Fox Broadcast.
The viewing audience will probably be enormous, but there is nothing like experiencing the game in person. I personally have experienced many NFL games live and the experience there trumps any type of surround sound audio system or high-definition television. I simply cannot wait to see my first rugby contest that evening at Franklin Field. The history of Franklin Field; the highest level of play from the Aussie's; International competition post-Olympics; it all just breeds excitement. So come be a part of history in the making at Franklin Field on the campus of the Pennsylvania Quakers on November 30, 2004.
