Frolic and festivities to surround Saturday football game

Lancer football fans from around the world will tune into OUA.tv to catch the action as the Windsor side hosts the Ottawa Gee-Gees, Saturday, Sept. 21, at Alumni Stadium.

After an undefeated start to the season, the Lancers are ranked in the country’s top 10 by U Sports.

A special promotion by the University of Windsor Alumni Association will enable grads to host their own watch parties — send a request to receive a kit with a Lancer-themed T-shirt, can cooler sleeve, and cheer sticks or pompons. Packages will be sent as time permits and while supplies last.

Those able to make it to the game will enjoy a tailgate party at 3 p.m. in the entry plaza to the stadium. The party promises a kid zone sponsored by Devonshire Mall with inflatables, face painting sponsored by the alumni association, and sales of Lancer merchandise. CKLW radio will broadcast from the event from noon to kick-off at 4 p.m.

UWindsor grads who show ID will qualify for a discounted ticket rate of $10 — the first 1,000 through the gate will receive a gift from the Alumni Association.
