The Statesmen participated in the Lone Star Football Festival, a three-day event at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>The Alumni Association hosted a tour of the stadium that morning at 10 a.m. for any alumni and friends who were in the area. The guided tour lasted an hour and showed the group the ins-and-outs of Jerry\u2019s World.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to kickoff, the Alumni Association held a social at Club Lite, a field-level venue on the visitors\u2019 side of the stadium. The unique setting gave fans the chance to be right in the middle of the action and be eye-level with the Statesmen football team. There was also access to the Delta State section of the stands. The event was free and open to anyone attending the game. Over 250 people took part in the social.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a great opportunity for our student athletics, alumni, friends and fans to experience a Delta State football game at AT&amp;T Stadium,\u201d said Richard Myers, National Alumni Association president. \u201cWe were very pleased with the turnout from our greater Dallas Area Alumni Chapter as well as our traveling Statesmen fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact the Alumni Association at 662-846-4660.
