Parking For Saturday & NCAA Ticket Info

Minnie

 The Oregon State wrestlers will soon be back out on the mat - this time for their home opener in Gill Coliseum this Saturday, Nov 21.

Last weekend was a step up in competition, and this weekend will not be any easier. The Beavers first face Rutgers, ranked just ahead of them, at 11:00 am. Then at 1:00 the Beavs wrestle Utah Valley. Fans are invited to stick around and watch Rutgers and Utah Valley face off at 3:00 to complete the wrestling for the day. Since 3:00 is also the kick-off time for the Oregon State football game in Reser Stadium, you have a choice. You can watch the visitors wrestle each other, or head over to Reser to watch the Beaver football team take on the Washington Huskies. You do need tickets for admission to the football game.

I had previously mentioned that "The FALL" might be sponsoring some sort of pre-Social tailgate for this big event, but with all the complications of time and football it just didn't work out. Our first Social of the year will follow the next home meet, with Clackamas on Dec 18, a Friday.

There has been plenty of discussion about parking for this weekend's tri-dual event, due to the traffic for the 3:00 football game. Things will be crowded and busy. OSU has come up with a solution for those who might not find a close-enough pay lot or don't want to walk a long ways. The following message from Coach Troy Steiner clarifies the parking situation. He also has included some information on NCAA tickets, so be sure to take note:

1. Parking for this weekend’s duals.  Parking could be an issue.  Parking will be available at the Benton County Fairgrounds for free. A shuttle will take you from the Fairgrounds to Gill.  Cost is $5/person to get on the Shuttle to Gill.  Admission to the Duals and return shuttle to the Fairgrounds is free. Shuttle Service will start at 9:00 Saturday Morning.

2. NCAA Tickets – Ticket price is $235 for 200 Level seats, the only level OSU has available for fans.   The Coaches need to get a list by January 1 of people who want tickets.  They will not be able to get tickets after that, so if you want tickets through the Beavers Jan. 1 is the DEADLINE.  Contact Troy Steiner via phone or email for tickets, and he will place you on his list.

The Benton County Fairgrounds faces 53rd Street. To enter the parking lot, take 53rd to the intersection with Reservoir. There is a traffic light there. Turn west on Reservoir at the light. The parking lot entrance will be on your right.

Are you caught up on your reading? OSU has a new article - a couple of the wrestlers have moved up in the rankings - read all about it here. 

Scott Nelson has started up his wrestling articles for the season on OregonLive. You can find one article and links to the others here. 

Don't forget to contact Coach Steiner if you want to sit with your fellow Beaver fans in Madison Square Garden in March. Be prepared! And get ready to cheer the Beavs on to victory at home this weekend!

Go Beavs!
