A&M-Kingsville night at Aviators Stadium
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 4, as Texas A&M University-Kingsville Night at the Coastal Bend Aviators game in Robstown. We hope that last year’s rowdy crowd and others will purchase discount tickets and represent the university at this exciting event.

Tickets will be $5 each and another announcement will be made when they will go on sale.

Game time is 7:05 p.m., but the Aviators have scheduled a car show in the parking lot for that evening, so arrive early to see the show.

Also, the Aviators have designated every Saturday as Tailgate Party Night so go even earlier, take your barbecue pit and your ice chest and start the party right. As evidenced from the pre-football game activities, Javelinas do know how to tailgate.

Officials from the Aviators also have said they would set up tables in the concourse area for any of our departments that would like to set up a booth or display. If you are interested in setting up a booth, please call Julie Navejar at extension 2590 no later than Friday, May 20.

With these exciting additions, A&M-Kingsville Night is sure to be fun for everyone, so make plans to attend.

For more information call Julie at 2590.
