Hello!
We have received many questions about this and wanted to make sure we communicated the ticket information for Parents Weekend. As we did last year, we have requested a block to sit together at the Parents’ Weekend football game against the Robert Morris Colonials on 2 September 2023. However, this year we are doing something a little different and we will be partnering with all Florida Parents Clubs to sit together! The more, the merrier! It looks like we have 2 sections strategically located to see the game and the cadet area, which is a real treat to watch! As many of you know, the cadets are required to attend the game. It's a lot of fun, and obviously a centerpiece of Parents’ Weekend. We hope you will purchase the tickets to sit together as a group in our block! In the past, the squadrons have cookouts or tailgate-type functions before the game around the stadium and parents are usually allowed to mingle with their cadets and squadron mates at their cookout. For that reason, we do not have a club gathering Saturday morning prior to the game to let families visit with their cadets and some of their friends. The specifics of plans can vary among squadrons. Visiting with your cadet at their squad’s tailgate is fun but we wanted to mention after your visit, you have the option to allow your cadet to enjoy the camaraderie with their classmates and still allow us as parents to reconvene at the Association of Graduates, (AOG) Tailgate as well. This AOG tailgate is at an additional cost, details will come at a later date. The AOG tailgate is great! Tented with seating areas and tables, catered in food and drink vouchers. A nice place to stop as parents and have something to eat, drink and mingle and maybe take a little less pressure off our cadets to feel obligated to entertain us while they're trying to enjoy their own tailgate with their classmates. Details for this are to follow. The cadets are required to sit together at the game and do not need to have us buy them tickets in the block. However, in the past, and I assume this year as well, cadets can come over and sit with parents elsewhere in the stadium for a chunk of time during the game. Based on our prior years, there is enough room to have that work well. Typically, the timing and details are subject to squadron leadership rules and any other USAFA decisions (as is true for virtually all activities!) Below is the information for our you to purchase football tickets in our block: Here is your unique link for your group: https://fevo.me/flparents23 Please note: Each person/family will be purchasing their tickets individually. Tickets will go on sale June 2. Tickets will be sent directly to the purchaser, not the Parents Club contact. All tickets will be delivered electronically and will be mobile tickets, which will need to be downloaded onto a smart phone prior to arriving at USAFA.
