Beaver Falls, PA - For the third consecutive year, Geneva College and the Golden Tornadoes′ football program will invite the Beaver County community to the season opener free of charge. As a token of appreciation for the support that continues to be shown toward Geneva College, there will be no admission taken for the season opener on Saturday night, September 3 when the Golden Tornadoes host Frostburg State at 7 p.m. in the 2011 football season opener.
Geneva College will open the Reeves Field gates for free to enjoy Golden Tornadoes′ football as they open up their first season as a full member of NCAA Division III and the Presidents′ Athletic Conference. Geneva will be seeking its third consecutive season opening victory over the Bobcats after a thrilling 32-27 victory a year ago in Maryland.

The Golden Tornadoes will take to the road after Saturday′s home opener and won′t return to Reeves Field until September 24 and a meeting with Bethany College in the first conference home game as a full member of the PAC.
