Bowling Green, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University athletic department has announced that the 2006 football home opener against Buffalo on September 9 will now kickoff at 3 p.m., instead of 6 p.m. as previously published.
This will mark the first time since the 2000 season (Pittsburgh) that BGSU will open its home schedule in the afternoon. The game also will be part of the BGSU Hall of Fame/Varsity BG Weekend and Faculty and Staff Day at Perry Stadium.
"It is a busy weekend not only for our department, but also in our community," said Assistant A.D. for Communications J.D. Campbell. "We want to have the biggest crowd possible for our home opener and with it also being Black Swamp Weekend, we believe this time change will help us accomplish that goal."
To purchase tickets for the 2006 season contact the BGSU Athletic Ticket Office at 877-BGSUTicket or order online at BGSUFalcons.com. Several season plans are available including $90 (Flex Plan), $75 (Chairback Reserved), $59 (Bench Reserved), $49 (BGSU Faculty/Staff/Retirees), $45 (Varsity BG), and $39 (Recent Graduate).
Faculty and Staff with a valid I.D. may receive up to four free tickets to the Buffalo game by visiting the BGSU Athletic Ticket Office in Memorial Hall.
