Amherst, Mass. -- The University of Massachusetts Athletic Department has announced the first of several community Days/Nights at upcoming UMass men's basketball games. The first special community event, "Holyoke Night", will be Saturday, Dec. 14, when the Minutemen take on Florida International in a 7 p.m. game at the Mullins Center.
This special ticket program allows residents from designated communities throughout the Pioneer Valley to purchase individual tickets at a group rate price for their specific game. Depending on the game, individual tickets priced at $20.00 may be purchased for $10.00 while tickets priced at $15.00 may be purchased for $8.00.
Residents may purchase tickets by going to their local Park and Recreation Department two weeks prior until one day (Monday through Friday only) before the community's designated game. This special deal will only be available in the days leading up to the game and will not be available on game day at the Mullins Center. Residents will be required to show picture identification upon purchasing tickets.
Upcoming Community Days/Nights include: Dec. 14--Florida International, Holyoke Night (Bev Smith, 413.322.5620); Dec. 23--Rider, Belchertown Night (Rob Opalenki, 413.323.0419); Jan. 2--North Carolina State, Springfield Night (Shaun Phelan, 413.787.0419) & West Springfield Night (Dom Longo, 413.263.3284); Jan. 9-Columbia, Hadley (Joanne Keller, 413.586.6375).
