Spratt Stadium is the place to be in St. Joseph this Saturday night as Griffon Football takes on Central Missouri at 6:00 PM in front of a live television audience to over 1 million homes throughout MIAA country.

In addition to a great football match-up, Saturday night is also the annual United Way Day at Spratt Stadium.

Beginning at 5 PM when stadium gates open members of MWSU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets for just $1.00 apiece with the winner taking home half the pot and the other half  being donated to United Way.  The ticket drawing will be done at the end of the third quarter.  Fans will also have the opportunity buy limited edition Griffon Gold “Live United” t-shirts in support of the United Way cause.  The shirts will be sold inside the main Spratt Stadium concourse.

Tickets for the game are $10 for adults, $5 for youth (ages 7 thru high school) and senior citizens while children 6 and under are FREE.  All area youth 13 and under may pick up a free ticket to this game or any Griffon home game this season from the customer service counter at the St. Joseph Hy-Vee via the Hy-Vee Youth Ticket Program  Tickets may be purchased in advance from the Griffon Ticket Office located in Looney Complex Room 229 or by calling 816-271-4481.  Tickets will go on sale beginning at 4 PM at the stadium box offices on game day.

Wear your gold Saturday night, support the Griffs and help out a great cause in the United Way.

In addition, Griffon Athletics welcomes all families of Western students who are in attendance as part of Family Day Activities and we are also pleased to host all St. Joseph & surrounding area elementary school students free of charge on Elementary School Night with the Griffs.
