Columbus Destroyers News Release


COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Destroyers, presented by Germain, will host A Night with OSU Heisman Winners presented by Columbus Worthington Air on Saturday, April 14 when the club hosts the Austin Wranglers. The evening will feature appearances by Buckeye greats Archie Griffin and Troy Smith prior to the game, which is set for a 7 p.m. (ET) kick off on Huntington Field at Nationwide Arena.

The only two-time winner of the award, Griffin, and the newest Heisman winner, Smith, will be holding a question and answer session in the lower bowl of the arena from 5-5:45 p.m. prior to the Destroyers game. Fans may enter through the McConnell Street entrance for this session, but must have a ticket to the game to attend. Smith's Heisman Trophy will be on display on the concourse of the arena.

All fans in attendance will receive a poster featuring all six Heisman winners from The Ohio State University. The poster is officially licensed by the Heisman Winners Association and was created by Ted Watts. A renowned sports artist, Watts illustrates images of all the Heisman winners, which are on display in the College Football Hall of Fame. Amongst his other work are pieces that are on display at the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Ohio State University Athletic Band will be performing pre-game outside Nationwide Arena and provide music during the game in-between the action.

The Huntington $10 Ticket Blitz continues for every home game during the 2007 Destroyers season. A minimum of 225 lower bowl seats will be available for $10 at the Nationwide Arena Box Office two hours prior to every home game. The regular price on lower bowl seats is $26.

The Destroyers and Giant Eagle are teaming up with the Mid-Ohio FoodBank to TACKLE HUNGER in Central Ohio. Last year, with the help fans, the Destroyers raised enough resources to provide over 27,000 meals to those in need. Fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to all Destroyers home games to receive a raffle ticket. In addition to the food drive, if fans bring a non-perishable food item from Giant Eagle they will receive a voucher for $3 off a regularly priced ticket.
