UNLV Athletics has announced numerous promotions for this Saturday’s men’s basketball game vs. Colorado State at the Thomas & Mack Center, which also marks the first home game of the season that fans may attend regardless of vaccination status and no mask mandate.
The 5 p.m. contest on Feb. 19, which is presented by Findlay Toyota, will feature multiple giveaways, including free season tickets for a variety of Rebel sports and one lucky UNLV student will win free tuition for a semester.
UNLV President Keith E. Whitfield will be at the controls of the Findlay Toyota T-Shirt Cannon with select shirts during the first half paired with certificates for 2022-23 season tickets for general fans, and one including the free-tuition prize directed toward the student section during the second half.
UNLV legend Robert Smith’s jersey will be retired in a ceremony at halftime. The first 400 kids ages 12 and under through the doors will receive a free No. 10 Active Wear Smith T-Shirt.
A pregame tailgate will also be held in front of the TMC near the Tarkanian Statue with free Taco Bell available for the first 500 students. Open to all fans, it will include a live DJ, games and inflatables. Red Bull will also be on hand providing drink samples while supplies last.
The new student loyalty program, which will culminate in a custom Nike Air Force 1 shoe giveaway, continues Saturday. To be eligible to receive the pair of shoes, UNLV students must bring the card they received before the San Jose State game on Jan. 22 and have it punched at the student entrance at Cox Pavilion prior to, and at the conclusion of, the Colorado State game.
Tickets for Saturday’s game may be purchased online at UNLVtickets.com, by calling 702-739-FANS (3267) or by visiting the Thomas & Mack Center Box Office.
