The Monarch fan community is invited to a sendoff at 9 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 19, before the players and coaches board buses for the airport.
The event will be in the North Mall Atrium at Webb University Center. Coach Bobby Wilder will speak to 12th Monarchs who attend, and the event will feature the ODU Marching Monarchs, ODU Cheer & Dance and Big Blue.
The first 200 fans will receive a commemorative Bahamas Bowl T-shirt. There will also be free Thundersticks, ODU bead necklaces, as well as coffee and doughnuts provided by Aramark.
Before the players march through a "tunnel" of supporters to board their buses, a commemorative sendoff group photo will be taken with coaches and the team.
