AUBURN, Ala. - The Auburn men's and women's basketball teams along with head coaches Bruce Pearl and Terri Williams-Flournoy will host the Hoops & Halloween Fan Day Oct. 30 from 3-5 pm CT in Auburn Arena.
It will be a Halloween-themed fan fest event with both teams, Aubie, cheerleaders and Tiger Paws with activities, autographs and words from both coaches.
"This is going to be a great event for our Auburn Family and our basketball teams," Williams-Flournoy said. "We've had great success with our Fun Fan Day event over the last three years, and we're very excited to team up with Coach Pearl and the men's team for this event. We look forward to having a lot of fun with our fans and giving our young ladies an opportunity to interact with the community."
Kids can enter a costume contest along with activities such as face-painting, raptor center eagle exhibit, large inflatables, custom Auburn Basketball trading card photo booth, mini-pumpkin painting and balloon artist.
"I am excited to be working with Coach Flo and the women's basketball program to combine our Fan Day," said Pearl, who hosted Pearl Jam the past two seasons for the fans. "Auburn Family is what it is all about. We really look forward to having an interactive day with our fans.
"When we talk to our players about what the best part of that event has been, it's been talking to the kids and fellow students and taking pictures and having interactive contests. It will be fun and an opportunity to know one another a little better."
A ticket sales booth will be open for select-a-seat for fans.
The Auburn men play its lone exhibition game vs. Montevallo on Nov. 4 prior to its season opener on Nov. 11 with a doubleheader with the Auburn women vs. Troy.
2016-17 season tickets are now on-sale for both programs and are available by visiting AubTix.com or by calling 855-AUB-2010.
