The early bird catches the game—at a discount.
Hillsdale College invites Hillsdale County residents to an Early Bird Fan Night Saturday at 7 p.m. at Muddy Waters Stadium. For football fans who are the first to the 100th to arrive, admission costs $1. The price increases $1 for every 100 people. The 400th attendee’s ticket will be $4, and then prices return to $6 for adults. Spectators must show ID at the will call window for the discount.
“We want to solidify our commitment to making this community a great one,” Director of Student Activities Anthony Manno said.
The cheerleaders will also distribute 10 pizzas to the student section during the third quarter to encourage attendance throughout the entire game.
“Only to the best fans, though,” Manno said.
The promotion night is one in a series for home games. On Sept. 12, the game admitted 100 Hillsdale County students for free. The football season opener, dubbed Business and Industry Night, brought over 2,000 spectators, surpassing 2014’s homecoming attendance.
“It improves community relations,” Manno said, “and it also encourages people to come to our sporting events.”
