MAC Championship Pregame Party & Bus Trip
Make plans now to join your University of Toledo Alumni Association for a bus trip to the MAC Championship football game as we cheer on our UT Rockets when they battle the University of Akron on Saturday, Dec. 2.

Seven buses have been reserved to transport alumni and friends to the game and a fantastic Pregame Party in the Comerica Gridiron Club at Ford Field. Your transportation includes the cost of parking, driver tip, soft drinks and bottled water.

The menu for the Pregame Party is:
• Zingerman's Bake House breakfast pastries, including lemon clouds, scones and cinnamon rolls
• Bagels with cream cheese
• Fresh seasonal fruits
• Roasted vegetable egg frittata with mushrooms, onions, cauliflower, spinach, seasonal squash and goat cheese with fresh herbs
• French toast casserole with Bananas Foster filling, cream cheese and pecan pieces served with warm maple syrup on the side
• Detroit Sausage Co. breakfast links
• Coffee, hot tea and fresh orange juice
• A cash bar will be available

Our buses will depart from Rocket Hall (corner of Dorr and Secor) at 7:30 a.m. with the Pregame Party scheduled from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., prior to the kickoff at noon. We anticipate returning to campus at approximately 6 p.m. Because the Alumni Association is contractually bound for bus rental, facility rental and catering charges, we will unfortunately be unable to provide refunds for any cancellations. No exceptions.

Here are the options available:
Pregame Party Only
$35 per person
For those who have their tickets and plan to travel to Detroit on their own

Complete Package
$95 per person
Game ticket, bus trip, and Pregame Party at Ford Field

Bus Trip & Pregame Party Only (no game ticket)
$75 per person
Mainly for athletic donors/season ticket holders who wish to purchase their seats through the Athletic Department

Pregame Party & Game Ticket Only
$55 per person
For those who plan to travel to Detroit on their own

Bus space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. A total of 350 seats are available. The pregame meal is limited to the first 600 reservations, which includes the 350 bus seats. Game tickets will be $20 seats in Ford Field.

The deadline to make reservations for the bus trip is November 30 or until all seats are filled. Complete, non-refundable payment must be received with your reservation. Pregame Party reservations will be accepted until room capacity is reached. Please note that the Alumni Association is heavily subsidizing the bus trip and Pregame Party. We are not profiting in any way from these activities.

To register, please contact us at 419.530.2586, toll-free at 800.235.6766 or visit toledoalumni.org.

Tickets may be ordered online now at utrockets.com or call the UT Athletic Ticket Office at 419.530.GOLD (4653). Orders placed before 5 p.m. Tuesday will receive priority seating. Rocket Fund contributors and Rocket Football season ticket holders will receive priority seating locations over the general public. Any orders placed after 5 p.m. Tuesday will receive best available seating.

See you in Detroit!

Reasonable, convenient and quality. Food looks GOOD though I've got my doubts about "seasonal fruits" in December. Lol, like I'd be eating bananas with that other stuff on the menu.

Where are the $20 tickets going to sit?

Can the bus come up to Rochester Hills to pick me up, then head down to the game?

Will there be shuttle busses for the students? I have a feeling a lot more students will go if there is a reasonably priced deal for a shuttle bus/ticket package! Let's make Detroit our home field advantage.

The $20 tickets are located on the sideline. Athletic donors and season ticket holders will receive priority seating locations.

We have 10 buses to take students to Ford Field. Reservations will open at noon on Monday and will cost $25 per student with a valid Rocket ID. This covers transportation, boxed breakfast, refreshments, and the student game ticket.
Here is more information about the student bus trip.

Drat! If only they'd made the MACC the ten years I could afford season tickets, lol.

Is there still a Detroit chapter of the Alumni Association that has anything planned? In the past they have coordinated watch events at places like The Spectadium - but that was a long time ago. Have not heard anything from them in a long time. Don't know if they still exist.

The alumni association has planned a kick butt bus trip party and pre game party for all alumni. I would hope that any Detroit area UT alumni worth their salt will be partying like its 2004 at Ford Field. The alumni association is in the driver's seat on this one at what I consider a very affordable package.

It's an unbelievable deal and I wish I was in Toledo this weekend instead of last (although it was nice to sit outside on a beautiful Friday watching the Rockets dominate). The bus trip, pregame meal, and ticket all for that price is a steal.

We do have a Detroit Chapter and due to their proximity to Ford Field, they do not have anything planned through the chapter. We hope you'll be able to join us at the Pregame Party on Saturday!

RE: MAC Championship Pregame Party & Bus Trip
I got tied up yesterday when I was going to buy tickets, and I see everything in the middle of the field in the lower bowl is sold out on the Toledo side - at least according to the MAC championship site. Looks like I will only need 1 ticket. Did anyone buy a ticket they don't need and needs to sell it? I will check a couple other places and call UT in the meantime. Just need to pay attention and quit waiting to hear back from others on whether they are going.

Edit: Plenty of tickets left at Toledo. Ordered mine and won't get seat number until they email it out. Then I hear back from my nephew - and he decides he wants to go afterall.... I give up.

RE: MAC Championship Pregame Party & Bus Trip
For anyone driving up on their own, you can pre-book your parking on line. I just did it for $10 at a lot that is about 0.4 mi from the stadium and it is good for 24 hours. Lot is rated 4.5 out of 5 stars and is in a garage. They send a message to your phone and you just have that scanned when you arrive at the lot and when you leave.

RE: MAC Championship Pregame Party & Bus Trip
Can also print it out. I'm taking the printed page with me - I have enough problems with my phone at the most inopportune times, that I cannot trust it to pull up the page when I need it, then having a bunch of people behind me honking their horns and yelling at me. Too afraid I'd throw the phone at the crossgate then drive through it..
