Saturday, October 13th, 2018, Team Fastrax™ will return to Ryan field to make the Wildcats homecoming game unforgettable with their fan favorite, patriotic American Flag demonstration jump. At 11 am, the Northwestern Wildcats will kick off against their Big Ten Conference West Division foe, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Just as fans place their hands over their hearts, when the National Anthem starts to play, Team Fastrax™ will jump in with their majestic 2,000 sq. ft. American Flag, the Northwestern flag and colored smoke. The show will be displayed on the scoreboard with the Team’s live air-to-ground video feed, so spectators at Ryan Field can enjoy the experience on a whole new level.
“Team Fastrax™ is honored to perform our patriotic American Flag jump at such a momentous game,” commented John Hart, owner of Start Skydiving, and Founder of Team Fastrax™. “Big Ten match-ups are always a good time and the homecoming festivities will make this a game to remember.”
According to their website, Northwestern snapped a three-game losing streak with a big time Big Ten road win at No. 20 Michigan State, 29-19. The victory was the Wildcats’ third-straight over the Spartans and their second inside Spartan Stadium in the last three years. NU picked up its ninth win in its last 10 Big Ten contests and extended its road winning streak to five games. The Wildcats (2-3, 2-1 Big Ten) and Cornhuskers (0-5, 0-3 Big Ten) will play in front of a nationally-televised audience on ABC with Mark Jones, Dusty Dvoracek and Molly McGrath on the call. As always, fans can listen to the broadcast with the voice of the Wildcats Dave Eanet, Ted Albrecht and Adam Hoge on WGN 720.
