The University of Akron Athletics
Additional Tickets Available for Men's Soccer Game
December 02 | Men's Soccer
Due to exceptionally high demand, accommodations for additional
seating have been made for Saturday's NCAA Tournament match between
the University of Akron men's soccer team and Tulsa, the UA
Athletics Department announced Wednesday.
To purchase tickets to the highly anticipated game, call the
Athletics Ticket Office at 1-888-99-AKRON or visit
on-line at GoZips.com. The top-seeded Zips (22-0-0) and
eighth-seeded Golden Hurricane (15-4-2) will kick off at 4 p.m.
(EST) at Lee Jackson Field.
To make room for the additional seating, the fence on the west end
of the stadium will be removed temporarily and bleachers will be
installed. Moreover, to help compensate for what will likely be the
team's fifth record-setting crowd of the season, all four gates
will be accessible to fans. Once again, the will call table will be
available at 2:30 p.m.
Akron is attempting to become the first team in 35 years to win a
national championship and is currently riding the second longest,
single-season win streak in NCAA history. Saturday's game will
represent the program's third appearance in an NCAA quarterfinal
match.
