HIDALGO, TEXAS - The NBA D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that, as part of the "Pack the House" promotion during Sunday's 5:00 p.m. game against the Iowa Energy, fans will be able to purchase popcorn for $1 and hot dog combos (one hot dog, chips and one drink) for $4.50 each starting when the doors to Dodge Arena open at 4:00 and ending at the conclusion of the first quarter.
For $10, all fans can get ticket combos (one ticket plus a hot dog, chips and a drink).
"The fans of the Rio Grande Valley have given us so much support that I am happy we have another way of giving back to them," Vipers President/General Manager Brian Michael Cooper said.
There will be two shooting contests during the game.
The first shooting contest will give three fans each 30 seconds to hit a layup, free throw, three-pointer and half court shot. If anyone can accomplish the feat, the prize will be $10,000.
The second shooting contest gives each of three fans one chance to make a half court shot. If anyone succeeds, the prize will be a 50" plasma TV, courtesy of Amigo Rent to Own.
