Kidd Brewer Stadium

The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes

This photograph is very different than the other images that I chose. It was taken at an Appalachian State football game in Boone, North Carolina. Unlike the other photographs, which were taken in more secluded, rural areas, this one was taken at possibly the busiest time for the town of Boone—a football game. This photograph also represents different elements of the region. Whether App State's football team admits it or not, they represent a much larger community than just Appalachian State. They also represent much of the Appalachian region (at least Watauga and its surrounding counties). Appalachian State's mascot, the mountaineer, reflects this close relationship between the school and the region. The pride that students and alumni of Appalachian State have for their school mirrors the pride that the Appalachian people have for their region. In many of its games, App's football team is the underdog. This underdog persona reflects much of the region's history. Even if there is not much to celebrate in the region, the success of the football team can always be revered. #appalachianechoes
