USF’s annual Bulls Fan Fest will take place on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Corbett Stadium, home of the USF soccer teams and site of the Bulls’ spring football game, on the USF campus. A free event and open to the public, Bulls Fan Fest is scheduled from noon to 3 p.m. and this year it will involve all of USF’s fall sports teams. The USF football players and coaches will be joined by the USF men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and cross country programs in a day packed full of great experiences and fun for Bulls fans.

Along with the opportunity to get autographs and pictures with student-athletes, coaches, Rocky The Bull, Sun Dolls and cheerleaders, fans will have the chance to participate in interactive games with their favorite Bulls. Among the many activities fans can participate in with the student-athletes will be games for kicking field goals, scoring goals, serving volleyballs and much more.
