Kent State to participate in second annual Patriot Bowl
As the Kent State football team gets ready to begin its 2008 season, excitement is building for the Golden Flashes’ season opener against Boston College on Aug. 30, and not just because they will be going up against a team that finished the 2007 season 11-3 and No. 10 in the final AP poll.
The Flashes and Eagles will battle at Cleveland Browns Stadium in the FirstMerit Patriot Bowl (www.patriotbowl.com), organized in conjunction with the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission (GCSC).
“We’re happy to work with the Sports Commission on an event that will bring a marquee Division I football opponent to Cleveland,” Kent State Athletic Director Laing Kennedy says. “We’re proud that our game will be the continuation of an annual event.”
The match-up will mark the second year of the Patriot Bowl at Cleveland Browns Stadium. A portion of proceeds will be donated to benefit military-related charities.
