Men's Basketball

Oct. 26, 2001

Fairfield, Conn. -- The Fairfield University ticket office has announced partial season ticket plans for men's and women's basketball are now available through the University's ticket office. The plans offer fans an opportunity to see the Stags as they make the move to the Arena at Harbor Yard, a 9,500-seat arena conveniently located off Interstate 95 in Bridgeport, Conn. Full season ticket plans have been on sale since July, and are still available.

There are two different half-season plans, each of which includes nine dates that feature five doubleheaders, the women's home opener against Boston College on November 16 and the men's opener when they host the University of Rhode Island on November 27. Mid-court seats for the half-season plans are $135 while end-court seats are $90.

In addition to the mini-plans, Fairfield will also offer an "Inaugural Package" that includes five dates (one doubleheader) for $79 mid-court seating. Those five dates are: Boston College (Women), Rhode Island (Men), St. Francis (Men), Manhattan (Men)/Loyola (Women) doubleheader and Charleston Southern (Men).

Or, fans can choose a five-game "Premier Women's Package" that features their home opener, the two-day Shehan Classic (with Villanova, Harvard and Quinnipiac) as well as Holy Cross.

This is the first season that Fairfield University will play all its basketball home games in the new Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport. The men's team will play a schedule which includes teams from eight different conferences, while the women, coming off an NCAA tournament at-large berth, will battle squads from six different conferences.
