Tickets are free, first of all, if you reserve them online. Popcorn is also free. (Though we encourage taking public transit, parking is free too, in the South Garage adjacent to the Wolstein Center.)
Refreshments will be dirt cheap. In addition to the gratis popcorn, hot dogs will be only a buck and draft beer will be two. For the die-hard fans and the kiddos, an autograph session with the whole team will happen right after the game, which tips off at 3:30 p.m.
The Vikes will take on the Fighting Scots from Edinboro College in what should be a more competitive match-up than their first outing, a loss to Minnesota by 35 points. CSU, once a force in the Horizon League, is coming off two abysmal seasons under head coach Dennis Felton. They are now coached by another Dennis, Dennis Gates, most recently an assistant at Florida State.

Free stuff! Cleveland finest will be there for sure to push people out of the way. What fun. No thanks.
WTF? Push them out of the way of what?
Maybe he just means that greedy cops will push them out of the way to get their paws on the free stuff? Yeah, that’s the ticket. It’s a premise that at least makes sense, but it’s also a pretty stupid thing to say.
The CSU basketball teams should move back to the 3,000-seat Woodling Gymnasium, with the Wolstein Center property used for a student housing/retail project — based on what was done in downtown Berea by Baldwin Wallace University.
Isn’t there enough overpriced student housing atCleveland State? Let them rent in less expensive neighborhoods and take RTA to school…God knows how much they need more riders.
And Cleveland already has too many empty storefronts and businesses closing…why do we need more retail? Everytime there’s another proposal to do something with a property or a piece of real estate, it always comes down to that same magic word…retail. Christ ona cracker! Why more f’king retail?
The city’s population is shrinking, not growing. There are only so many people with so much discretionary income, especially a limited mumber of potential customers who want to blow that dough on recreational shopping. Only so much pie to go around. More goddam retail does not mean more pies, it just means smaller slivers of the same pie. Every time I see a suggestion for still more stinking retail, i want to puke.
