The Cage To Offer Unique Game Experience

5/14/2001

HUNTINGTON, WV -- An exciting new addition to Marshall football game days this fall will be "The Cage" a secured parking and party area available to groups or businesses for pregame and postgame tailgating. The former Y Lot, located across Marshall Memorial Boulevard from the stadium and adjacent to Mycrofts, has in the past been used for media parking. This fall it will be leased on a per game basis to groups wanting a unique Marshall game day experience.

"This area will provide local groups and businesses a unique way to entertain either their employees or customers at a Marshall home football game," Charlie Hagley, Director of Corporate Ticket Sales, said. "We think this new tailgating area will take off and become very popular very quickly."

Groups who lease "The Cage" will gain access to the exclusive tailgating area with plenty of parking close to the stadium and tickets to that day's game. In addition their will be a security guard on station at the gate all day to insure both the safety and privacy of the group in residence.

Other company benefits will include a banner on the outside of "The Cage" with the company name and logo for recognition and public address announcements at the game.

In addition to "The Cage" there are also plenty of other game-day opportunities for groups and companies to take advantage of. The Herd Village will return for another season of Marshall football. Companies involved in Herd Village receive a tent of their choice, name recognition at the game, catering and a great pregame atmosphere for clients and employees alike.

Groups just looking for game tickets can also be accommodated with corporate ticket packages. Packages of 30 tickets, either in the sideline reserved area or the end zone, can be purchased at discounted prices. For more information on "The Cage", Herd Village or any other group of corporate ticket package, contact Charlie Hagley at 304-696-4367.
