Central Michigan football head coach John Bonamego described a story said that his son, Gio, gave him a spiderman mask to climb the wall to retrieve a balloon that was floating against the foyer’s ceiling to convey the message that kids look up to football players.
“In a child’s mind, it’s about the uniform,” Bonamego said. “They don’t differentiate between a uniform and a costume. So, these guys are superheroes to young kids.”
About 150 kids got to meet the 2017 CMU football team up close and personal prior to the annual Spring Game.
