"Come And Take It" Flags 
Starting this season during the break between the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth quarter at each home game, music and a video will play that will prompt fans to engage in a new tradition by holding up their Come and Take It flags in support of the team. The idea is that heading into the fourth quarter, regardless of the score, the fans and the team are not backing down and we are going to give it our all. As Coach Wilson says, “All Hands on Deck!”
There are special Orange Come And Take It Flags now, and season ticket holders can pick up 1 free flag per account in the South Lobby of the Alamodome at Saturday's game.
