UAA students can purchase two tickets for $24! Both ticket holders must be UAA students, be present and show their WOLFcards when picking up tickets at the Terry Ann Homan Box Office.
Both games will be televised on ESPN as part of the network's America's Heroes: A Salute to Our Veterans initiative honoring the men and women who are serving and who have served in the United States military, both at home and abroad.
The Armed Forces Classic is a series of men's college basketball games played on United States military bases worldwide, with the inaugural game played in 2012. UAA is partnering with the Joint Base Elemdorf-Richardson (JBER) military facility to host this year's classic, which marks only the second time in the event's history that tickets are available to the general public.
