Fan Experience

The families and guests will be able to experience a game of a lifetime, possibly the last one in a closed chapter of the game. An emotional and passionate game, as the girls go all out on a game they know has the spotlight on them as the seniors on the team. Fans will get music during warm-ups, giveaways, and a half-time recognition.

Why I Chose This Project Topic?

I chose this topic because Senior Night is personal to me. As one of the seniors, I understand how meaningful this night is. I wanted to create a project based on a real event that celebrates the team and the memories we built.
