Skydivers To Perform Patriotic Tribute at Northwestern Football Game

EVANSTON, Ill., Sept. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Saturday, September 11th, 2021, Team Fastraxtm will return to Ryan field to make the Wildcats game unforgettable with their fan favorite, patriotic American Flag demonstration jump. At 11AM, the Northwestern Wildcats will kick off against the Indiana State Sycamores.

The Wildcats are no doubt hoping to bounce back from their season opening loss to Michigan State.

American Flag and the Northwestern flag. The show will be displayed on the scoreboard with the team's live air-to-ground video feed, so spectators at Ryan Field can enjoy the experience on a whole new level.

"Team Fastraxtm is honored to perform our patriotic American Flag jump on the anniversary of such a tragic day in American History," commented John Hart, owner of Start Skydiving, and Founder of Team Fastraxtm. "This day is one that should not be forgotten. God Bless our Military and all those who died on 9/11."
