HIDALGO, TEXAS - The NBA D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that, on the heels of last weekend's attendance-record breaking weekend at Dodge Arena, they are holding a "Pack the House" promotion during Sunday's 5:00 p.m. game against the Iowa Energy. There will be two shooting contests involving three fans each, one with a chance to win $10,000 and the other with a chance to win a 50" plasma TV.

Additionally, the first 200 kids in attendance will receive an RGV Smiles power pack and t-shirt while the first 75 kids will receive a t-shirt courtesy of Pena Eye Institute. Doors open at 6:00.

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 feet, the prize will be $10,000.

The Vipers had the first sellout in franchise history on Friday with 5,679 fans. The Vipers followed that up by welcoming 5,442 fans into the building on Saturday.

"I just want to say thank you to our fans for showing such incredible support and for really welcoming us into the community over the course of the last two years," Vipers President/General Manager Brian Michael Cooper said.
