"It was an absolute privilege to be a part of bringing the city, fans, and alumni back together in this incredible venue!" They said, "Finding creative ways to partner with our communities is a core tenent of our personal and business philosophies." 

The throwback game was an opportunity for residents of Crawfordsville to come together and reminisce on past memories while also making new ones.
