🔼 The Best For You. Richmond Athletics does a lot for its athletes, but UR never forgets to do the same for its fans. There has been a lot accomplished so that Robins Stadium elevates your game-day experience to new heights. For example—cushioned chair back seating in the new Club Level, fireworks after this Saturday’s regular season opener, local craft beer and food tasting at select games, Patio Hospitality, and a whole lot more. Want to know what else is new at the stadium? 🆕 Read about the rest of the Robins Stadium upgrades here.

🤔 SPIDERS TRIVIA

Let’s run it back. Last season, Spider football had two winning streaks. The first happened in the final three weeks of September last season, where the Spiders beat Saint Francis, Lehigh, and Stony Brook. But… the team had one more trick up its sleeve and went on a streak through October and into November too.

Today’s question—how many games did their second win streak consist of?
