While the mountains are known for serenity that elicit introspection and pause, you shouldn’t forget about some of the High Country’s more invigorating and pulsating action: college football. Once called “The Greatest Show on Turf,” the Appalachian State Mountaineers are region’s lone act for premier college football at an affordable price.

By the kickoff of every season, the Mountaineers are almost always at the top of their division and conference powering ranking. Prior to transitioning to college football’s championship bowl division, ASU had already captured three national championships and a 2007 monumental win over the Michigan Wolverines, which many sports analysts still refer to as the greatest upset of all time.

Continuing a legacy

Since their 2013 arrival in the Sun Belt Conference, the Mountaineers have captured multiple conference championships and are undefeated in bowl games, including last year’s capstone victory in the prestigious New Orleans Bowl. If you act now, you can still catch the black-and-gold chase after another consecutive conference championship this fall. Kidd Brewer stadium on ASU’s west campus has been recognized nationally as one of the best game day experiences that college football has to offer.

There’s plenty to cheer about at an App State football game!
