BOONE, N.C. — The App State Mountaineers are returning to the Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone for a football game against Georgia State on Oct. 26. The game will start around 1 p.m.
The football game will be the first home game at App State since Helene hit western North Carolina at the end of September.
“App State Football is an important part of the culture and economy of our university community, the High Country, and the western North Carolina region,” Director of Athletics Doug Gillin said. “We are thankful to university, town and county leadership, and are committed to provide a safe and responsible return to home competition. We hope this event will further rally our community and help support all those who are recovering.”
App State resumed classes on Oct. 16 after Helene.
The university has created the App State Disaster Relief Fund and said more than $2 million has been distributed to members of the university community who have been impacted by Helene.
