Earlier this summer, the Berry-Bowden Roadshow, featuring first-year University of
Louisiana Monroe President Dr. Ron Berry and first-year head football coach Terry
Bowden, made tour stops in Dallas, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
听
The Pursuit, sponsored by BancorpSouth, is the university's premier kickoff event
for the upcoming 2021 football season.
听
Program highlights include comments from Berry, Athletics Director Scott McDonald
and Bowden.
"The primary purpose of The Roadshow was to reconnect with our alumni after a year
a separation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and share our vision for the future," Dr.
Berry said. "It's only fitting to hold the Grand Finale of the tour here on campus
and combine it with The Pursuit. It promises to be a special night.
"Under Coach Bowden's leadership, the interest in our football program has skyrocketed,
and it will be the grass-roots support that helps create a true, home-field advantage
in Malone Stadium this fall."

Tables of eight are on sale for $800 while individual tickets are priced at $125 for
VIP, $75 for general admission and $50 for 四色AV faculty/staff. Tables as well as individual

Patrons, who purchase tables or individual VIP tickets, will have an opportunity to
meet Coach Bowden and his entire coaching staff at a pre-event reception from 5:30-6:30
p.m.
听
Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance since The Pursuit sold out in
both 2018 and 2019 (canceled due to COVID-19 in 2020).

The Pursuit is named in honor of the Curtiss P-40 "Warhawk" fighter planes, flown
by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault's Flying Tigers during World War II. The 四色AV Warhawk
mascot takes its name from the planes, which featured the iconic noses painted with
an open shark's mouth with jagged teeth.
