Scout Day at Ryan Field Is This Saturday Against Michigan State

Oct. 5, 2008

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Tickets are still available for Scout Day at Ryan Field this Saturday at 2:30 p.m, so get your scout troop together to purchase half-price tickets before Noon on Friday, Oct. 10.

That's only $18 plus handling fees to see the undefeated Wildcats in a nationally televised ESPN2 game. To receive the promotional code for this discount, please e-mail wildcatmarketing@northwestern.edu. Or stop by the Ticket Office during the extended office hours this Thursday to purchase tickets and meet members of the Wildcat Football Team between 5 p.m.- 7 p.m. The troop that purchases the most tickets will go on the field during the game for a group photo.

In addition to the game, there will be fun activities and NU goodies for scout day participants. The day will begin at the pregame fan fest area, Wildcat Alley, located just north of Ryan Field. Admission is free to Wildcat Alley. At Wildcat Alley from 1:45 pm to 2:30 pm scouts can take part in activities, as well as pick up NU giveaways at the Scout Table. Members of the Wildcat Wrestling and Field Hockey teams will be the Scout Day Hosts at the table teaching scouts the rules and techniques of their sports.

When boy and girl scouts complete their activity book, they can stop by the Activities Table on Walker Terrace to receive the official Scout Day Patch. Also on Walker Terrace during the game, fans can get their faces painted, play games and take part in our Lou Malnati's Coloring Contest for a chance to win free pizza.

We hope to see you at Ryan Field. Be sure to wear purple to all Wildcat home games!
