"Temple Football Fun Land is a great way for fans to attend our games early and be a part of the excitement of Temple Football," said Bill Bradshaw, Temple University Athletic Director. "We are working closely with Comcast-Spectacor and their many resources in an effort to reach out to families. This interactive pre-game party will provide a total entertainment experience for our fans and their families."
The Football Fun Land begins 90 minutes prior to every Temple home football game with a Temple Owls pop-a-shot contest, a Philadelphia Charge "Soccer Kick" interactive game and a Philadelphia Phantoms "Shot On Goal" interactive game. Temple Football Fun Land also features Phantoms mascot Phlex, Charge mascot Elektra, Philadelphia Wings mascot Mad Dog, Temple mascot Hooter and cheerleaders from the respective teams. In addition, children will have the opportunity to have their faces painted and receive balloon animals from clowns. During the season, the Football Fun Land will include celebrity appearances, remotes and giveaways from local radio stations such as WMMR, WMGK and MIX 95.7.
The Football Fun Land at Franklin Field will take place in the adjacent parking lot on the corner of 33rd and South Street. The Football Fun Land at Veterans Stadium will be held along the outer concourse of the Vet.
