Erie BayHawks News Release
ERIE-- The NBA Development League Erie BayHawks today released their schedule for the 2009-10 season. The BayHawks will open the season with four games on the road, before returning to the Tullio Arena for the home opener, December 12 at 7 pm versus the expansion Maine Red Claws.
"This year's schedule reflects some changes the league is instituting in an attempt to create territorial rivalries while providing more weekend games and considering team travel costs," said Matt Bresee, team president. "The fact that half of our home games fall on Fridays and Saturdays, makes this a very fan-friendly schedule."
The BayHawks also announced One Buck Wednesdays, in partnership with Smith Provisions, The Erie County Convention Center Authority and Centerplate (the arena's concessionaire). Each of the BayHawks five Wednesday night games will feature one dollar Smith's hot dogs, popcorn, beer and pop. The Wednesday games will also feature a limited number of fan friendly $5 and $8 tickets. The team will also offer an alcohol-free, Family Section for the Wednesday games.
"We know how much people love a great value, so we are happy to offer our fans the opportunity to enjoy games at a real affordable price," said Bresee.
The BayHawks will offer special 5 + 1 Mini-Packs, which includes tickets to the five Wednesday night games and one ticket to the home opener. The specially priced 5 + 1 Mini-Packs will be $30 for West End Zone Seats and $48 for Corner Seating.
The three BayHawks Sunday games are set for 2 pm a tip-off.
