FRESNO, Calif. --- When the Bulldogs host New Mexico on Feb. 18 at 3 p.m. PT, the Fresno State men's basketball team will wear one-of-a-kind black Nike uniforms, which will all have the word "STUDENT" on the back to celebrate all 24,403 Fresno State students.
Fresno State students receive free admission plus free admission for one guest to all home Bulldog men's basketball games simply by showing their Fresno State student ID card at the northeast entrance to the Save Mart Center on gameday. This entrance will open early at 1:30 p.m. PT on Feb. 18, so the party can start even earlier!
To win prizes, students need to download the "Red Wave Rewards" application from the mobile Apple or Google Play application store.
"We really appreciate the support of our community, especially our Fresno State students," Fresno State head coach Rodney Terry said. "It is so important to have an electric environment coming from the student section. We are very excited to have the opportunity to wearing these special uniforms to show our students how much they mean to us and recognize their critical impact in the Valley."
Fresno State has a bold vision for how academics and athletics are rising together with 80 percent of Fresno State students remaining in the San Joaquin Valley after earning their degrees.
"Our fans love to see students at games, as it reminds them of their college days," Fresno State senior associate athletic director Paul Ladwig said. "The Red Wave loves when their children get to see what it's like to be a Bulldog attending Fresno State and all its perks. Fans across the country love to see a loud, passionate home court advantage, which is something a packed student section always delivers. We all love to see our student-athlete's success not only on the court but in the classroom as well, and this night exemplifies our student-athlete's commitment to education."
In addition to the exclusive "Student" Nike uniforms, Fresno State will also honor its alumni with the Bulldogs' annual Alumni Night on Feb. 18, which includes a post-game scrimmage with some of your favorite former Bulldogs returning to the hardwood for a spirited, friendly competition.
