Terp Basketball
I am able to reserve a group of tickets in the lower bowl of the Xfinity Center for the Men's Club at a great group price of $20 per ticket for these dates:
Wednesday Feb. 24th vs Minnesota, 6:30 pm
Parking would be extra, around $25 in the Terrapin Trail Garage, but not so bad if we fill up each car.
I am just trying to gauge interest in one (or both) of these games, and then I can reserve them by early next week. The Center has a kosher food stand, so I can promote this as a Men's Club event. Please respond to me at lewger1643@gmail.com if you would be interested, and how many tickets you would like. In my preliminary discussion with the ticket office, I mentioned a group of 30. If I have an overwhelming positive response, we can split the group up between the two games.
