The University of Toledo Athletic Department is excited to announce a lineup of new gameday promotions and fan experiences for the 2025 Rocket Football season, designed to bring fans closer to the action while celebrating the traditions that make Toledo Football one of the most unique experiences in college athletics.
From VIP access to the Rocket Walk to sideline photo ops with Rocky and Rocksy, the new Gameday Upgrades program offers fans unforgettable ways to enhance their visit to the Glass Bowl. These exclusive experiences are available in limited quantities and can be purchased online starting five days before each home game.
In addition to the return of The Touchdown Tank, Toledo home games will have several new fan experiences — from VIP access to the Rocket Walk to sideline photo ops with Rocky and Rocksy — as part of the new Gameday Upgrades program.
