Many of you folks complain about us not being visible enough in the city, or about attendance or about fund raising - all kinds of stuff. Well now is the time to actually help us by just walking in a parade.
We are #78 in line and will line up on North Tryon. I will have the ambulance there, so it will be easy to find us. Come on out. It is a ton of fun, is family friendly and a great way to help us with the brand.
Step Off is 11AM, but we probably won’t move until 11:30 at the earliest.
Who is in?
NWA + Fam
NLP
Athletics
Continuing Education
Alumni Association

They giving out spring game football tickets again? I know they did a few years ago. Last year’s was a voucher for like $5 off (or maybe it was for a $5 ticket).
Best parking suggestion I have is parking on the south side near baseball and roma. The parade starts on the north end and its easier to walk up that direction and be near car when parade is over. The deck across from baseball stadium would be a good place.
Had a great time yesterday and an amazing turnout with AD including Hill and Fuller, AA, Con Ed and more folks coming out. Our group was probably around 40 folks. AD had special T-shirt’s printed up, and brought footballs. Con Ed brought a ton of balls to pass out.
NLP, Mac, HotRod, bleeds, Bo and McEntire Fam and more showed up. It is always a great time. I say this every year - but if you come On this board and complain about branding and visibility and don’t come out and join what is one of the easiest things in the world to do, you need to rethink your complaints and decide if you want to just complain or be a part of the solution.
You guys looked great from the spectator side! Here’s the shirt if anyone is curious. Not sure who you are, but whoever hooked the guy in the green sequin sport coat and Niner shirt up with a shirt, thanks!
Second this sentiment, bitching online only gets us so far. Also, how often are you going to get the chance to stand in the middle of Trade & Tryon and scream the Forty-Niners chant?
Great to see all the smiling faces, people waving, and people having a good time.
