As the men’s basketball team gears up for the 2005-2006 season, students can expect 2000 reserved seats .
To obtain free tickets students need to present their valid student ID cards at the University Student Union or at the Save Mart Center on game night.
Since last year, the USU has combined with the athletics department to make student tickets general seating to make it easier for friends to sit together.
CSU Fresno Athletics Media Relations representative Jan Winslow said the men’s basketball varsity season will officially begin on Nov. 23 against Cal Poly at the Save Mart Center.
Winslow said two preseason games will kick off the 2005-2006 season.
Winslow said the first preseason game was an exhibition match against Master’s College which took place last Wednesday, Nov. 9. The Bulldogs won 77-66. The Bulldogs forced 25 turnovers and had 13 steals on the night.
The second will be a double-header with the women’s team against Fresno Pacific which the Bulldogs won 101-66. A red/white scrimmage was also held on Nov. 2.
Winslow said there are 14 home games and 14 visitor games planned this season from Nov. 23 to March 4. All home games will take place in the more than 15,000 seat Save Mart Center.
According to reports from the Bulldog ticket office general admission for men’s basketball ranges from $22-40 depending on seating preference. Tickets can be ordered at the Bulldog ticket office at (559)278-DOGS, The Save Mart Center box office from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily (always open two hours before an event), Ticketmaster at (559) 485-TIXS (ext. 8487), select Save Mart Supermarkets, Tower Records and Warehouse Records.
Bulldog ticket office reports said group tickets are available for parties of 10 or more at $12 per person. Interested people can call (559) 278-DOGS for more information.
Reports from the Save Mart Center ticket office said information on the party suites for single events in 2006 is available at (559) 347-3400; a rental form will be forwarded to you by request.
Bulldog Foundation administrator Pat Ogle said season tickets for the upper level are available for $196 per person.
