Marshall University’s football program is set to redefine the gameday experience with the launch of “The Porch,” a premium outdoor hospitality venue nestled in the South Endzone of Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
A Tailgate Meets a Suite
The new offering fuses the relaxed vibe of a backyard tailgate with the upscale amenities of a private suite. Four exclusive spaces, each equipped with 20 season tickets, a private gazebo, an outdoor griddle, a refrigerator and patio seating, give fans a front‑row view of the action while they enjoy a customized menu of food and drinks.
Fans can order their meals in advance and have them delivered directly to their suite, eliminating the need to wait in concession lines. The setup is designed to let supporters focus on the game, cheering from comfortable patio chairs while the aromas of a backyard cookout mingle with the stadium atmosphere.
Availability and Contact
The four suites are available on a season‑long basis, providing a unique opportunity for die‑hard supporters to secure a premium spot at every home game. For more details, inquiries can be directed to Emily Suter of Herd Hospitality, who oversees the program’s coordination.
Additional information, including live stats, schedules and free audio commentary, is accessible through the Marshall Athletics App, available for iOS and Android. Fans can also stay updated by following @HerdZone on Twitter and Instagram.
The initiative reflects Marshall Athletics’ commitment to enhancing fan engagement and showcases the university’s innovative approach to stadium hospitality in Huntington, West Virginia.
