Texas State moving on up

Quote:
SAN MARCOS — Texas State will be kicking off the 2009 football season in style today.

"There will be football, fireworks and fundraising — my kind of day," said Larry Teis, Texas State's athletic director.

The gridiron action features the Bobcats, ranked No. 21 in the coaches' preseason poll, and Angelo State. There will be plenty of tailgating and a concert before the 6 p.m. kickoff and fireworks after the game as Texas State celebrates the opening of a $17 million westside seating complex that towers above the rest of Bobcat Stadium. As for the fundraising, a substantial chunk of the sought-after money already is in hand.

This afternoon, Texas State President Denise Trauth is set to announce the largest donation ever to the school's athletic department, $6 million, courtesy of Houston businessman and Texas State graduate Jerry Fields and his wife, Linda. The Fieldses are co-chairs of Texas State's Pride in Action fundraising campaign, and the new westside stands will bear their names.


:shock:
