AMHERST, Mass. -- With the Massachusetts men's basketball team set to tip-off its 2002-03 campaign next week in the EA Sports Maui Invitational, fans looking to purchase season tickets for the upcoming season may still do so.
Season tickets, which will be sold through the Dec. 7 Commonwealth Classic home opener against Boston College, cost $266.00 each for the Minutemen's 14-game Mullins Center slate. Among the teams scheduled to visit Amherst this winter are 2002 NCAA Tournament entrants Boston College (Dec. 7), North Carolina State (Jan 2) and Xavier (Jan. 18) along with longtime A-10 rival Temple (Feb. 8).
Single-game ticket orders are being taken by the Athletic Ticket Office and will be filled once the season ticket sale is completed, according to UMass Assistant Athletic Director for Tickets & Game Operations Bill Chaves.
Fans looking for that ideal stocking stuffer this holiday season may wish to purchase a UMass Holiday Pack. Holiday Packs, which cost $40.00 each, include one ticket for UMass' games against Rider (Dec. 23), Marshall (Dec. 28) and North Carolina State (Jan. 2).
The highly-popular Family Day promotion will also return this season for UMass' Mullins Center contests against Marshall (Dec. 28), Fordham (Feb. 1) and Duquesne (Feb. 23). For $50.00 per game on Mullins Center Family Days, fans will receive four tickets, four hot dogs and four sodas.
UMass' game against Lafayette, which will be held at the Springfield Civic Center on Saturday, Dec. 21, will also feature the opportunity for fans to purchase four tickets for $50.00. In addition, fans who purchase the Lafayette family package will receive four admissions into the Basketball Hall of Fame's Dec. 21 party to celebrate the game of basketball's birthday.
