Hoot From Home
10.1.20 | Football
PHILADELPHIA – Temple will launch "Hoot from Home," a unique second-screen virtual experience, on Saturday, October 17 when the Football team plays USF at Lincoln Financial Field. "Hoot from Home," powered by IBEW Local 98, will air on the Temple Athletics YouTube channel and will complement the television broadcast of its home opener.
"This new fan engagement initiative will bring our passionate fans into the stadium virtually on game day," said Scott Walcoff, Senior Associate Athletics Director of External Operations. "Our hope is that they will feel as though they are enjoying a number of our pre-game activities, in-game video board features and on-field promotions they normally would while cheering on the Owls in person at Lincoln Financial Field."
"Hoot from Home" will run beginning one hour prior to kickoff through the end of the game for all Temple Football home games this season. The pre-game show, presented by the Temple University Alumni Association, will feature performances from the Temple Diamond Marching Band and Spirit Squad; analysis of the upcoming game with Kevin Copp, Temple Athletics and College Football Hall of Famer Paul Palmer, and Temple Football beat writer Marc Narducci from the Philadelphia Inquirer; additional special guests; and more. During the game, The Fanatic 97.5 FM broadcast featuring longtime play-by-play announcer Harry Donahue and Palmer will air on "Hoot from Home" with special promotions and appearances taking place during timeouts, quarter breaks, and at halftime. Fans will also be encouraged to post pictures/videos of themselves watching the game from home for a chance to be featured during the "Hoot from Home" live stream by using #TempleTUFF.
Temple has played in a school record five consecutive bowl games and has been bowl-eligible for six straight seasons and nine of the last 11 years. Since 2015, its 30 conference wins is the most in the American Athletic Conference.
