-Four (4) Thursday games will be "Buck Nights" in which fans can purchase Smith's hot dogs, popcorn, soda and beer for just one dollar each. Tickets start at just five dollars.
-The annual "School Kids Jam" presented by UPMC Health Plan is set for Tuesday, March 8 with a special 11 a.m. tipoff.
Plans are underway for numerous other promotional nights including the popular "Affiliate Nights," with both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors, in which their respective dance teams and mascots perform throughout the game. A full schedule of promotions and special events will be announced at a later date.
