Fans are encouraged to come dressed up in Red, White and Blue – in colors for the Rayz and in Red, White and Green – in colors supporting Mexico. There will be a fan of the game contest before hand in the parking lot, and live entertainment. Flags, face painting and all exuberant displays from fans are expected from the turnout at the Coliseum.

Tickets are still available for the game and are only $5 a piece. Make sure you're in attendance for this one-of-a-kind historic hockey game between the Corpus Christi Rayz and the Mexico National Team.
