Pep rally gives fans an opportunity to send team off in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS –In what has become a yearly tradition, the University of Evansville Athletics Department and the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations have combined to announce a Pregame Party in St. Louis as the Purple Aces men’s basketball team travels to Arch Madness this week.
Evansville enters the tournament as the #2 seed and will play the winner of Thursday’s Missouri State/Drake game on Friday at 6 p.m. The pregame party will be held in the lobby of Lumiere Place, which is in downtown St. Louis and is also the team hotel.
The event is free and will feature appetizers and a cash bar. Door prizes will be given out with the grand prize being four floor seats to an Aces home game next season. Benny’s Flooring is once again the sponsor of the event.
Running from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Friday, the party will give fans the unique opportunity to send the team off as they depart for the game.
Those who wish to attend are asked to register at the link above. Parking at the hotel costs $10 and has easy access to Metro Link, which will take you right up to the game.  For more information, contact the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations at 812-488-2586.
