August 17, 2014, 1:15 PM
Rain thwarted SIUE’s attempt to break its own world record Friday, Aug. 15, during halftime of the Cougars men’s soccer match against Oakland University. The event has been rescheduled for the Cougars’ match against Virginia Tech on Friday. Aug. 29.

Approximately 1,800 fans will simultaneously pop the tops on cans of Pepsi. The Cougars and Hokies are set for kick-off at 7 p.m. at Korte Stadium. The event is all part of the SIUE Experience as the University welcomes students for the fall semester, which officially begins on Monday, Aug. 18.

A year ago, 1,134 fans set a world record as they simultaneously popped the tops on cans of Pepsi Next during SIUE’s match against UW-Milwaukee.

Ticket prices are: general admission – $7; SIUE faculty/staff – $5; senior citizens – $5; and students ages six to college with ID – $4. Admission is free for children five-years-old and younger.
