With the Wildcats out of the basketball tourney, it's now time to turn our attention to K-State football, and that means: The Goo-Goo Dolls.
This just in from the PR desk.
March 26, 2008FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LUCKY LOCAL BAND WILL OPEN FOR THE GOO GOO DOLLS AT GRIDIRON BASH!
One local band will have the chance of a lifetime…the opportunity to open for the Goo Goo Dolls as part of the Gridiron Bash!
A Battle of the Bands will determine which local band will open for the Goo Goo Dolls. The Battle is at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 9 at the K- State Student Union.
Five bands will be selected to play in the Battle. Each band will play a 20-minute set. A panel of judges will select which band opens for the Goo Goo Dolls Friday, April 18 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
At least one member of the band should be affiliated with K-State, as a student, faculty, staff, or alumni. Perspective bands must email Ben Hopper at blhopper@k-state.edu by Friday, March 28 [hurry!] if they are interested in the competition.For more information about the Battle of the Bands, visit the Union Program Council’s website at www.k-state.edu/upc.
The Goo Goo Dolls, one of the top-selling groups of the past decade, will perform a live concert at 7 p.m. Friday, April 18 Bill Snyder Family Stadium as a part of the weekend Gridiron Bash™ The Ultimate Fan Competition™ and the activities surrounding the spring football game April 19 [Yes, this is practically tantamount to opening for Tom Petty at the Super Bowl].
Fans purchasing tickets for the concert will also receive free admission to the Wildcats’ spring game. Reserved tickets for seating on the field are priced at $44. General admission seating in the stadium bleacher sections cost $38. K-State is one of about 20 universities nationwide selected by MSL (the event’s creator and producer) to serve as Gridiron Bash host sites [Dammit! Iowa gets Kelly!].
