Franklin bobblehead night tops '14 giveaway slate
STATE COLLEGE- The State College Spikes have announced the team's 2014 fan giveaway schedule, which will be headlined by Coach James Franklin Bobblehead Doll Night on Thursday, August 28 at 7:05 p.m. against Williamsport.
The Coach Franklin bobblehead giveaway will be held just 36 hours before his team kicks off the 2014 football season in Dublin, Ireland, and also coincides with the Spikes popular THON Night game. The first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive the giveaway presented by The Nittany Lion Inn & The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel.
This will mark the second consecutive season the Spikes will commemorate the Blue and White's head football coach with a bobblehead doll. Last August 28, fans lined up for hours prior to that night's Spikes game to receive the Coach Bill O'Brien bobblehead giveaway.
The Spikes' 38-game home schedule at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park will run from June 14 to August 30. 14 additional dates during the 2014 season will feature premium fan giveaway items. The complete 2014 fan giveaway schedule is listed below:
