UM Women Turn Back the Clock
A scheduling conflict with “Sesame Street Live – Elmo’s Coloring Book” has forced the University of Miami Women’s Basketball team to move Friday's 7 p.m. game against Jackson State from BankUnited Center to the Knight Sports Complex on the school’s Coral Gables campus.
The move back to the Knight Sports Complex, which was the women’s home from 1985 to 2002, has created a unique marketing opportunity. The team will host a “throwback” night with tickets going for $1, instead of the usual $5.
There will also be $1.25 hot dogs; $1 beverages; and giveaways. The theme will be decidedly 1970s, according to Scott Moody, sports information director for women’s basketball, since the team launched in the early 1970s. Word is coach Katie Meier might add a 70s flare to her wardrobe and a disco contest is planned at halftime.
