CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Queens University of Charlotte is proud to announce that our very own Rex will be competing in the Mascot Bowl XI on November 19th at Bank of America Stadium. The Bowl will take place during halftime of the Panthers' game against the Miami Dolphins.
The fan favorite event is in its eleventh year and will feature seven professional mascots taking on seven college mascots in a full contact game of football. Rex, and the six other college mascots from North and South Carolinas schools will fight to the end for the win, as this event is known for sending fur flying. Sir Purr will be leading the team of professional mascots.
Queens is very excited about Rex's participation in the Bowl and his representation of the Queens community. Full team rosters are listed below.
