The Fan Fest featured basketball shooting games, inflatables and other fun activities for kids of all ages. Giveaways provided by Vanderbilt Athletics included t-shirts and pen packs. The most popular item was cotton candy, which had a constant line until time for tipoff.
Employees showed their team spirit by wearing black and gold and Vanderbilt temporary tattoos. Everyone had a blast cheering for the Commodores as they pulled away with a 78-73 victory over the Razorbacks.
