EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Saturday, October 13th, 2018, Team Fastrax™ will return to Ryan field to make the Wildcats homecoming game unforgettable with their fan favorite, patriotic American Flag demonstration jump. At 11 am, the Northwestern Wildcats will kick off against their Big Ten Conference West Division foe, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Just as fans place their hands over their hearts, when the National Anthem starts to play, Team Fastrax™ will jump in with their majestic 2,000 sq. ft. American Flag, the Northwestern flag and colored smoke. 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.

According to their website, Northwestern snapped a three-game losing streak with a big time Big Ten road win at No. 20 Michigan State, 29-19. The victory was the Wildcats' third-straight over the Spartans and their second inside Spartan Stadium in the last three years. NU picked up its ninth win in its last 10 Big Ten contests and extended its road winning streak to five games.
