Fans of SIUE soccer are welcome to attend a meeting to discuss this year's promotional events for men and women's soccer at 6 p.m., Thursday at Shenanigans Bar & Grill.
Men's Head Soccer Coach Ed Huneke says the event is key to the success of both of the soccer programs.
"You are all very instrumental in SIUE being second in the nation in attendance," Huneke said.
The Eastsiderz are a group of students, alumni and parents who sit on the east side of Ralph Korte Stadium to cheer the soccer teams on to victory.
Along with free barbeque, half time events and theme nights, the group is open to all and ideas to promote soccer games and raise attendance are welcomed.
Last year, the group created numerous theme nights that included 80s night, dress like your favorite superhero night, retro jersey night, Cougar pride night and cookouts.
In conjunction with the university, the Eastsiderz plan to create T-shirts, having washer tournaments and generally raising the attendance to all of the sporting events.
"The atmosphere you create attracts many students and our players and recruits are always impressed," said Huneke. "Bring some good ideas and anyone else that might be interested (can come)."
