SEMO NIGHT AT BUSCH STADIUM IS MAY 8

Southeast Missouri State University will hold its Southeast Night at Busch Stadium on May 8 when the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"We only have 500 tickets," said Anita Eby, director of alumni services at Southeast. "They are located beside Big Mac Land, so they will go quickly."

Big Mac Land is a section of outfield seats where slugger Mark McGwire hit a number of home runs last year.

A pre-game alumni and friends social sponsored by Kohlfeld, River Eagle Distributing, Coca-Cola and Schnucks is scheduled for 5 p.m. on the Sverdrup Terraces across from Busch Stadium. The game starts at 7:10 p.m.

Eby said if there is enough interest a bus will be reserved for the trip.

Cost of the pre-game social, which includes food and beverages, is $3 per person. The pre-game event is free for alumni dues members.

T-shirts for Southeast Night at Busch Stadium are $12 per person and $10 per person for alumni dues members. Game tickets are $13 per person.

Interested persons can contact the university at (573) 651-2252.
