Pullman may be small in size, but it is one of the most passionate college sports towns in the United States. Home to Washington State University and the proud Cougars, Pullman sits among the rolling wheat fields of eastern Washington and revolves around the energy of campus life. On fall Saturdays, the town fills with crimson and gray as fans gather at Martin Stadium to cheer on Cougar football. The traditions of the Cougar Marching Band, alumni gatherings, and the nationally recognized Cougar spirit create a close-knit community atmosphere that visitors quickly feel. Pullman’s college sports culture extends beyond football to basketball, baseball, and Olympic sports that bring the town together throughout the year. In Pullman, college athletics are more than entertainment—they are the heartbeat of the community.
