Clarksville, TN – Traditionally, Austin Peay State University athletics and the APSU Alumni hold its annual football reunion during late July.

During the morning of the home opener, a breakfast will occur in the Club Level of new Governors Stadium, beginning at 8:00am All alums who have requested tickets will be provided complementary tickets for themselves and their families will receive the requested tickets during breakfast on the 13th.
Alums then will depart the club area to be a part of the ribbon cutting and naming ceremonies of select areas of the new stadium – among them the Blake Jenkins Plaza, the Hendricks Fox “Walk of History,” the Heritage Bank Lobby, the John Foy President Box and the Bill Dupes Locker Room.
Later that day the football alums will be special guests at the reconfigured Tailgate Plaza, beginning at 2:00pm before taking their seats in Governors Stadium for the 4:00pm kickoff.
