Shocker soccer date on the cheap
Wichita State students looking for an opportunity to take their special someone on an action-filled date while on a tight budget may have found the ticket.
The B-52s, a professional indoor soccer team local to Wichita, are offering “College Date Night,” an opportunity for college students to take a date to see a game on the cheap.
“Both [students] have to have college IDs and the date gets in for free — it is a two for one deal,” said Kyle Kelly, Wichita B-52s intern.
To promote Valentine’s Day, the B-52s are allowing students to bring their college IDs to Hartman Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday to see the team play the Milwaukee Wave on a “two-for-one” budget.
“We definitely want to get college students involved,” Kelly said. “We are trying to get everyone to the game.”
The B-52s were founded in 2013 and are members of the Major Arena Soccer League. The team has players from around the nation, although the roster has many entries from Wichita.
Prior to the B-52s, Wichita was home to a different indoor soccer league named the Wichita Wings, which also played at Hartman Arena.
