FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Head Coach Tim Miles will be at Noodles & Company Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., handing out free tickets for Wednesday night’s game.
Fans that make a purchase at the downtown restaurant, located on the northeast corner of College and Laurel, during those 30 minutes on Tuesday, will receive a free ticket to Wednesday night’s contest vs. Utah, the final regular-season home game for the Rams. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:15 p.m., and doors will open at 6 p.m.
Ogide headband night
And beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, when doors open for what could be Utah’s last-ever trip to Moby Arena, CSU will also be giving away Andy Ogide headbands to the first 2,500 fans. Fans are encouraged to wear them in honor of Ogide’s last regular-season home game.
Band Director honored
CSU’s YouTube-sensation band director, Joe Spina, will also be honored at the first media timeout in the first half of the game. The CSU Spirit Committee will present him with the Spirit Award on behalf. This award is annually given to the person or group that best exemplifies CSU school spirit over the course of the year. Spina’s last regular-season home men’s basketball game was Feb. 19 vs. UNLV, as he co-directs the band with Chris Krueger. Both are grad assistants in the CSU Marching Band program. Spina will be directing the band next week at the MWC tournament in Las Vegas.
Peace Corps recognized
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps. In 1961, CSU researchers Maury Albertson, Pauline Birky-Kreutzer and Andrew Rice create what now is a household name. Several of those that followed in the late Albertson’s footsteps will be recognized at halftime Wednesday night.
Pepsi 4-Pack night
The Pepsi 4-Pack deal is once again available for fans attending Wednesday night’s game. For just $32, fans can get four tickets, four hot dogs and four sodas. The Pepsi 4-Pack deal must be purchased in advance, by 4 p.m. Wednesday. Tickets can be purchased at the McGraw Center ticket office, online at csurams.com, or by calling 970/491-RAMS.
Tickets available
Students are encouraged to pick up their free tickets early at the McGraw Athletic Center box office, located just west of Moby Arena. Tickets available for the general public are $15 for adults and $8 for kids. Tickets can be purchased at the McGraw ticket office, at csurams.com, or by calling 1-800/491-RAMS.
The Rams are hoping to draw at least 5,478, which would give the team an attendance average over 5,000 for the first time since 1997-98, when the Rams averaged 5,697. Moby Arena’s two sellouts this season were its first since 2003.
