Ball State University and WLBC invites all area children to attend its upcoming football game, Saturday, October 25, against the Eastern Michigan Eagles which is scheduled for a noon kickoff.
Children have the opportunity to experience a college football game as Ball State hosts NCAA Football's 11th annual “Take A Kid to the Game” (TAKG) program presented by Coca-Cola and sponsored by other Corporate Champions, AT&T and Pontiac. Kids, ages 14 and younger, will receive a free general admission youth ticket with the purchase of a full-priced general admission adult ticket, to watch the Cardinals at Scheumann Stadium. WLBC radio personality Steve Lindell will host a seating section designated for those attending the game through this program.
