Title
Big Green, as it has become known due to its weathered patina, is a one-ton bell from the original set of Eloise chimes, and is also the subject of one of Stetson's cheers, Let's go Big Green! Present at every home football game, the bell rings as the Hatters take the field, after each touchdown and field goal, at the start and end of halftime, and at the conclusion of the game. Big Green also rings once after every first down conversion. The bell is kept and managed by an organization called Varsity.
