College Prowler Take

Stetson really cares about its athletics, especially basketball. During the season, students can check out games and become involved. But, not all sports share the same support. For the most part, only certain sports get attention. Other sports teams, such as crew, tennis, and soccer, receive less funding and support. The good thing about the athletics here, however, is that the teams themselves share a lot of pride. With that pride, there is a good amount of sports to choose from if someone wanted to join or just be a spectator. As a student, the amount of involvement in athletics is entirely up to you. At times it’s difficult to find time to support teams due to classwork, work itself, and any involvement in clubs or Greek life. Occasionally, there will be a big push for games, and the University will manage to pull in thousands of people to the event. But, this is a once-a-year event, not an everyday occurrence. In terms of athletic facilities, the fields and courts are well maintained. There is almost always someone on the soccer fields whether they are just tossing a ball around or practicing for a game. The facilities also keep hours that mesh well with students’ schedules, which allows them to workout outside of the team practices.

I really enjoy the intramural sports. They allow someone who isn’t really all that athletic and devoted to the sport to still get out there and have a good time playing. They are a great way to get to know people on campus and build a good network of friends.

I’m glad to see a variety of sports on campus, allowing for there to always be at least one sport’s season going on at all times. The intramural sports can be very entertaining and fun to get involved in.

I am disappointed in the fact that we don’t have a football team. It is almost like the University frowns on anything that isn’t academic.

There isn’t enough school spirit on campus, which takes away from the experience. We’re not Florida State University, which has a ton of funding and a widely known football team. We need that kind of recognition to make the athletic program better.

The teams are good for a small university, but if the University wishes to really compete in college sports, they need to devote more time and energy to the teams on campus.

School Spirit

The school spirit at Stetson is mediocre. It’s not too strong, but it’s not absent. Students are constantly wearing Stetson gear, and there is a decent turnout to the games. There is more school spirit if you’re involved in Greek life.

Getting Tickets

It is rather easy to get tickets to Stetson athletic events. Visit the Hollis Center front desk to purchase the reasonably priced tickets. For most games, unless it’s a special event, tickets are free to students.

Best Place to Take a Walk

Just walking around on campus is nice. If you stay near the Quad, you can see all the lights from the fountain and just relax.
