Middle Tennessee State University Athletics is expanding its fan offerings at Floyd Stadium with a new lineup of Premium GameDay Experiences for the 2026 football season.

What the New MTSU Premium GameDay Experiences Include
MTSU is rolling out ten distinct experiences for the 2026 season, each designed for a different type of fan or occasion.
The Raider Walk lets up to 10 fans join the Blue Raiders as they enter Floyd Stadium before kickoff through the team entrance. The Team Run Out is similarly limited to 10 participants per game and puts fans on the field alongside the team during the pregame entrance.
For younger fans, the Kickoff Tee Kid experience allows one child age 12 or under per game to take the field and retrieve the kickoff tee. The Photo on the Field option is open to fans of all ages and provides a chance to take photos on Horace Jones Field before or after the game.
Fans can also mark personal milestones at Floyd Stadium. Videoboard Messages let fans display customized messages for birthdays, anniversaries, or other occasions on the stadium scoreboard. The Gender Reveal Experience brings Blue Raiders mascot Lightning into the announcement, while the Proposal Experience can be arranged before a game, during a game, or on a non-game day.
The Birthday Party Experience gives young fans early access to the Family Fun Zone along with a special appearance from Lightning. The Community Spotlight is geared toward local organizations that want to perform for the crowd before kickoff. Group Outings are available for schools, businesses, churches, youth organizations, and community groups, offering discounted tickets and customized game-day packages.
Who These Experiences Are Designed For
The Premium GameDay Experiences are built to serve a wide range of groups. MTSU is positioning them for corporate hospitality and client entertainment, employee appreciation events, alumni gatherings, birthday celebrations, and family outings. Groups looking for an upgraded alternative to standard ticketing will find several options tailored to their needs.
MTSU’s 2026 Home Schedule and Existing Premium Seating
The new experiences run alongside a six-game home schedule at Floyd Stadium in 2026, which also features enhanced entertainment, themed promotions, and fan-focused programming throughout the season.
Fans already familiar with MTSU’s premium offerings will find that these experiences complement the existing options at Floyd Stadium, which include the Jeff Hendrix Stadium Club, the SRM Concrete Club, Open-Air Boxes, and Sky Suites.
How to Reserve an MTSU Premium GameDay Experience
Several of the Premium GameDay Experiences have limited availability per game, so MTSU is encouraging fans to reserve early. Full details and reservations are available at GoBlueRaiders.com. Fans can also reach the Blue Raider Ticket Office at 615-898-5261 for questions about any of the experiences, including Birthday Party Experiences, Community Spotlights, and Group Outings.
