Little more about Meet the Trojans:

The 2014 Meet the Trojans event is set for Thursday, Nov. 6 at the Jack Stephens Center. Admission is free and the doors will open at 5 p.m.

The annual event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with coaches Steve Shields and Joe Foley introducing their teams, followed by a 3-point shooting contest and intrasquad scrimmages by both the men’s and women’s teams. The UALR dance team will also perform.

The JSC concession stands will be open and fans will be able to enjoy free Pepsi products and popcorn. The Trojans' Nike Team Store will also be open with all the latest Trojan athletic gear.

Players and coaches will be available for autographs and pictures in the mezzanine area at 6:30 p.m. The department will be giving out 2014-15 schedule posters and cards to fans.

Season tickets will be available for pick up. Prices and information will be available for fans interested in season ticket packages.

Sounds good.

If I lived locally I would, but last year we drove 5 hrs round trip to listen to a bad PA setup and watch players miss dunks.

Thankfully it does not sound like the same "entertainment" as last year. According to Shields post three point contest & scrimage.

I had rather see those, but even the dunk contest would have been ok if they had attempted makeable dunks.

Pappy, I'd rather you save the gas money and show up for some games to help root the team on. Although, the opportunity to meet some of our players, one and one, is a nice benefit of being a UALR fan.
