CARBONDALE, Ill. — Saluki Athletics is once again throwing a pair of festive, holiday parties at the Banterra Center, and everyone's invited! Ticket prices start at $3 for both games, with no added fees.
The Dec. 21 men's basketball match-up versus High Point is being billed as the "Rockin' Christmas Beach Party" at Banterra Center. A special halftime show will feature a performance by Elvis, and the first 2,000 fans will receive a Hawaiian lei to add to the festive atmosphere.
The Jan. 1 men's basketball game versus Evansville will be the third-annual "Saluki New Year's Bash" at Banterra Center. Even more balloons have been ordered to set another new record for the largest balloon drop in Southern Illinois history.
