There are still seats available on the fan bus heading to Mankato, Minnesota for the Missouri Western football team’s playoff game against the Mavericks Saturday in the Super Region 3 Final of the 2012 DII National Playoffs.

Associate Athletic Director Brett Esely tells us they still had 18 seats open by Thursday afternoon.

Cost of the trip is $50 per person and includes a game ticket. To RSVP, call Griffon Athletics at 816-271-4481. Payment must be received by this Friday at 4:30 PM in our office located in Looney Complex 229.

The bus will leave Saturday, December 1, at 3 a.m. from Lot I in front of Spratt Stadium. The bus will return immediately following the game.

Esely says at least three buses filled with students will also be making the trip, paid for by student activity fees.
