Free Rides Offered To KSU Homecoming Game By Fifth Third Bank

KENNESAW, GA — In celebration of Kennesaw State University's homecoming and in an effort to pack Fifth Third Bank Stadium for the football game against Charleston Southern University, Fifth Third Bank (Georgia) will offer fans a free ride to the game through rideshare services Lyft and Uber.

Fans can receive free rideshares Saturday, Oct. 12 to Fifth Third Bank Stadium by using the promo code 53OWLSEVENT. Visit ksuowls.com/53owlsevent for more details.

“We are encouraging Owl fans to fill up 'the Bank' in your gold spirit attire, and to take advantage of our homecoming celebration gift to them,” said Randy Koporc, president of Fifth Third Bank (Georgia). “Fifth Third Bank has made it a priority to offer KSU fans the best products, services and fan experience possible, and we hope the free rides on Oct. 12 signifies our commitment.”

This is the second initiative the Bank has implemented this football season in an effort to enhance the fan experience and show its appreciation for its partnership with KSU Athletics Department. In September, Fifth Third initiated its 53 Yard Drive promotion which awards fans KSU Rewards App points each time the Owls score on an offensive drive of 53 yards or more. Fifth Third also is donating $100 to The CARE (Campus Awareness, Resource & Empowerment) Center at Kennesaw State University for each 53 yard drive which has totaled to $1,800 so far.

“We have had great fan support so far this season and we look forward to fans packing Fifth Third Bank Stadium this Saturday for homecoming,” said Kennesaw State football head coach Brian Bohannon. “This is just another example of the commitment Fifth Third Bank has made to our university and we appreciate their partnership and support of KSU football.”

Fifth Third Bank entered the Georgia market in 2008 with the acquisition of First Horizon Bank. The Bank has 30 locations in the Atlanta area, including in Kennesaw, Roswell, and other areas of Cobb County, and three locations in Augusta. The Bank recently announced it plans to welcome additional branches throughout Atlanta in the next two years.
