Rutgers' Jersey Shore-themed opener to include Jacuzzi in student section

Jim O'Connor-USA TODAY Sports

Rutgers is going all out for its opener against No. 7 Washington on Sept. 1.

The school announced Thursday it will be installing a temporary Jacuzzi in the student section of High Point Solutions Stadium as part of a Jersey Shore-themed promotion it's calling "War Before the Shore." There will also be boats on field level on which fans can win seats to watch the game, along with Jersey Shore-themed food trucks and boardwalk games.

Scarlet Knights fans will be hoping for a better result than last season's opener, when Washington routed Rutgers 48-13.
