A see of black and gold, one of my favorite images at Purdue. It all happens every home football game. One of my favorite moments of my college career was my first official football game as a student. Growing up, I would always go with my parents to Purdue games. We had killer seats with the John Purdue Club, but I can't even begin to compare my fifty yard line tickets with my crammed, sun baked seats in the student section. What could be better?
My favorite days at Purdue are game days. I love all the school spirit. You walk down the street and you see a guy dressed up like Christopher Robins from Winnie the Pooh who is best friends with the Joker. You can't find the companionship just anywhere. Between the breakfast clubbers and the see of black and gold, I am honored to say we have one of the most amazing and spirited student sections.
I still recall that very first day when I walked in with my student ID in hand into section 109 at Ross Aid Stadium. Nothing can prepare you for Boilermaker football. As cheesy as it sounds, I believe our student section is one of the prettiest things at Purdue University. It's amazing to see all grades and all different types of students come together for cheer on one team. Every Saturday I get a great deal of school pride.
And that is why I choose to include these images. I find them beautiful, black and gold body paint and all!

I love Purdue football! It really is amazing to see all different kinds of students attend such a fun and exciting event. I believe the sea of black and gold is gorgeous. Being on the sidelines it's really fun to watch the student section really get into the game. I love seeing what kinds of crazy outfits some of our fellow students come up with. And of course... the body paint never fails. It's pretty impressive to look in the student and see so many people uniting at one event all wearing the same color shirt. I had never attended a Purdue football game before this year and I definitely look forward to every home game we have. It sure is entertaining, both the actual game and the beautiful student section.
