First-of-its-kind fan activation is presented by Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB)
The skies over Roy Stewart Stadium will be illuminated after the Homecoming football game on Saturday, Nov. 1, thanks to the Murray State Homecoming Drone Show, presented by Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB).
Â
One of the first drone shows ever performed in Western Kentucky and the first-such activation on the campus of Murray State University, the show will treat fans to a Murray State-themed performance like never seen before.
Â
"Homecoming is one of the most cherished traditions that we have at Murray State University, so to be able to end the football game with this show will be a special touch," University President Dr. Ron Patterson said. "I want to thank CFSB for their continued support of Murray State and for sponsoring this unique community engagement opportunity."
Â
Presented by CFSB, this activation falls in line with the bank's mission of community engagement and continued partnership with Murray State University and Racer Athletics.
Â
"At CFSB, we are always excited to partner with Murray State to create experiences that bring families together and build lasting memories across Western Kentucky," CFSB Vice President and Director of Marketing Dana Howard said. "This one-of-a-kind drone show is something our community has never seen before, and it's a perfect example of how our partnership with the University celebrates the spirit and culture that make Racer Nation so special."
Â
There has been a new emphasis on enhanced fan experience since 2022 with national acts and modernized game day activations coming to Racer Athletics events, and this drone show further showcases Murray State's commitment to delivering high-quality entertainment to fans.
Â
"We are constantly seeking out new ways to deliver high-quality fan experience and activations, and this Homecoming drone show will be an absolute game changer for Racer Nation," Director of Athletics Nico Yantko said. "We are incredibly grateful for Jason Jones, Dana Howard, and the entire team at CFSB who continue to work with us to provide world-class entertainment for our community. Homecoming means so much to our University, and this is the perfect way to cap off what will be an incredible week."
Â
Murray State will face off against SIU for their annual Homecoming game, with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m. To purchase tickets for the game, click HERE, or call (270) 809-3000.
