An inflatable obstacle course and free tickets for military-affilated students will be a part of a special game-day experience at the upcoming Colorado State football game, which will recognize and show appreciation to WSU’s veteran and Native American communities. As a special feature of this event, veterans and military-affiliated students were invited to request free tickets to attend the game with their families. The game day experience is a collaborative event between WSU Athletics and Veterans and Military Affiliated Student Services that began in 2022, and has progressively grown in size over time. “We usually get a request for a ballpark of 200 tickets, but this year we’ve had a request for over 370 tickets,” said Penny Martinez, a retired Army veteran and the manager and school certifying official for VMASS. According to Martinez, this year’s game-day experience is likely to be their biggest year yet.
