Akron Traditions

The Traditions

The Zips may not have the storied traditions of bigger programs, but game day has its own MAC charm.

Pregame Rituals

Watch for Zippy, the beloved kangaroo mascot who was once voted the nation's best mascot and whose antics keep fans entertained throughout the game.

In-Game Moments

The marching band performs a spirited pregame show, and the alma mater sung after victories carries genuine emotion.

Must Experience

The "Roo Crew" student fan group brings coordinated energy, and the playing of "Akron Blue and Gold" echoes across the stadium after every Zips score.
