Bragg Memorial Stadium Getting Upgrade -- New AstroTurf FieldTALLAHASSEE, Florida -- For the Florida A&M football program, the excitement for the upcoming football season has been building ever since December when the University announced that Willie Simmons was coming home to coach the Rattlers.
Fans so excited that even though we're over two months out from kick-off, premium seats at Bragg are already sold out. The Investing in Champions Campaign? Set to hit over $1,000,000 dollars for the first time in school history.
"When Dr. Eason and I first talked about the job, both of our eyes kind of sparkled at the opportunity to come here and do something special," said Simmons. "This fan base, these alumni, this student body, they're waiting for FAMU to get back to the glory days and I think with the excitement we've been able to bring with the spring game turnout, with the various speaking engagements that we've had throughout the state of Florida. even up into Georgia, I can see a change in the mindset of Rattler Nation. This is an exciting time, and we want to make sure we continue to capitalize on it."
It's an exciting time for the Orange and Green and one look at the facilities will tell you that. There is new fencing around the practice field, the locker room has had work done, and now the latest project? Installing new AstroTurf inside Bragg.
