As the fall sports draw nearer, Troy University recently set the days for Fall Sports Fan Days, which launch the football, soccer and volleyball seasons.

While in years past the Troy soccer and volleyball programs celebrated Fan Day alongside the football program, this year both of those sports will host their own Fan Days instead.

Things will kick off on Aug. 15 for the inaugural Troy Soccer Fan Day at 6 p.m. as the Trojans open up the 2024 season against Eastern Michigan at the Troy Soccer Complex. Admission to all Troy Soccer games are free and following the match, fans will be invited onto the field to meet the team and get an official Troy Soccer poster, which can be autographed by the players.

Then, on Aug. 17 for the Troy Football Fan Day at 10 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Free schedule posters, hot dogs, water and soft drinks will be available for Trojan fans at the event. Troy will host an open practice beginning at 10 a.m. after a closed portion that begins before that. Fans will be able to enter the stadium via Gate 7 and are encouraged to sit in the West stands. Fans will also be asked not to take video or photos of practice sessions.

Following practice, fans in attendance will be invited onto the field to visit players and coaches, which will be split into position groups. Season ticket holders will be able to pick up their championship rings at the ticket sales table in the west concourse.

Later that day, Trojan Arena will play host to the annual Troy Football Kickoff Party at 6 p.m., where a grand prize of $1,000 will be given away. Tickets for the party will be $15 and will admit two fans. Tickets to the party must be purchased in advance, at TroyTrojans.com/KickoffParty or by calling Judy Morgan, at (334) 670-3682.

Finally, on Sept. 7, the Troy Volleyball Fan Day will take place following the Trojans’ home opener against Cal-Poly at 2 p.m. in Trojan Arena. Admission to Troy Volleyball games is free. Following the match, fans will be invited onto the the court to meet the Trojans and get a Troy Volleyball poster autographed by the players and coaches.
