"Among the great Vipers fans we have throughout the Rio Grande Valley, some of our most ardent fans reside in the Lower Valley, and we have worked hard to reach out to them during this past off-season. Having the Vipers host a game on South Padre Island allows us to further connect with this important part of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers community," Vipers President Brian Michael Cooper said.
Tickets to the game can be purchased through the South Padre Island Convention Center (1-800-OKPADRE) or though the Vipers (956-972-1144) at the Pro-Shop in Uptown Plaza on N. 10th St. in McAllen.
The South Padre Island Convention Center attracts some of the top college basketball teams in the nation for their annual Thanksgiving tournament, but this will be the first time professional basketball will be played there.
"South Padre Island is very excited about hosting the Vipers in this part of the Rio Grande Valley. The Convention Center has proven to be a great site for basketball. We hope everyone joins us for this and our other fall basketball events," South Padre Island Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Dan Quandt said.
