Kalamazoo Wings News Release


KALAMAZOO, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings host the Norfolk Admirals for two games this weekend at Wings Event Center, giving fans an opportunity to enjoy food and beverage specials, and a chance to take a time machine back to 1965 with a famous psychedelic cruiser.

Friday night is a Frosty Friday, in which fans in attendance can enjoy $2 beer/soda, and $2 hot dogs from 6-8 p.m. Saturday night is Rock and Roll night, and the greatest artists of the 60's, 70's, and 80's will be honored through their music during the game.

Featured on Saturday will be Janis Joplin's famous 1965 Porsche 356C. The psychedelic cruiser, often times referred to as the "History of the Universe" Porsche, will be located in the main ticket lobby before and during the game. The car is on loan from a private dealer, and will be headed to the Gilmore Car Museum after its stop at Wings Event Center. Two fans in attendance at Saturday's game will be selected to win passes to the Gilmore Car Museum.
