Rutgers football to host Fan Fest on Sunday, August 20th

One sure fire sign that Rutgers football is back – the Fan Fest is almost here.

Rutgers football will host its annual Fan Fest on Busch Campus in front of the Rodkin Academic Success Center on August 20 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Fans will have the opportunity to meet the team during the free event with the chance to receive autographs, the official 2023 Rutgers football season poster, and enjoy The Rutgers Boardwalk. Also, food trucks will attend the event, providing sandwiches, wings, ice cream, and more.

Fan Fest will include a photo booth, face painter, caricature artist, free carnival games, and an inflatable obstacle course. After the conclusion of Fan Fest, attendees can walk over to Yurcak Field to watch Rutgers women’s soccer host Hofstra.

The Scarlet Knights made the NCAA Tournament last year.

The Scarlet Knights open their 2023 season home on Sunday, September 3, 2023, against the Northwestern Wildcats (noon, CBS). The 2023 season will be the first time Rutgers football will start the season against a Big Ten opponent at home since joining the conference in 2014.

After their match-up against Northwestern, the Scarlet Knights will remain at SHI Stadium for three consecutive home games against Temple and Virginia Tech. Rutgers’ first away game will be in week four when they take on the Michigan Wolverines. After their game against Michigan, the Scarlet Knights will return home to take on Wagner to cap off their fourth home game in September (Seven 2023 home games total).
