BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo Athletics Department has partnered with the Buffalo Zoo for a special ticket offer to the "Black Friday Clash at the Ralph" football game on Nov. 29. Fans can purchase an $18 ticket to UB's final home game against Bowling Green at Ralph Wilson Stadium with proceeds going to the Buffalo Zoo's "Our Bears Belong in Buffalo" campaign.
Fans can go to ticketmaster.com and enter the promo code ZOOFUND to purchase an $18 ticket (regularly $25). $8 from every purchase will go to the Buffalo Zoo to help build a new polar bear habitat.
The Buffalo Zoo's Arctic Edge will be more than 60,000 square feet (1 ½ acres) in size and replicate the snowy, frozen climate of the Arctic Circle. Two large exhibits will house polar bears while three smaller enclosures will feature arctic wolf, bald eagle and Canadian lynx to illustrate the diversity of species that have adapted to life in this harsh climate. The landscape will be naturalistic and will include two large saltwater pools, natural boulders and a variety of substrates. A sophisticated Life Support System (LSS) will be utilized to maintain high water quality. Underwater viewing will enable visitors to get an up-close look at the bears' swimming styles, natural behaviors and playful antics.
"The Buffalo Zoo is looking forward to a partnership with UB Athletics that will benefit the Our Bears Belong in Buffalo campaign," Buffalo Zoo President/CEO Donna Fernandes said. "We are hoping that community support will help us complete the campaign by year's end."
Winners of seven straight, the Bulls are in the midst of a very special season. UB is 7-2 overall and sits atop the Mid-American Conference standings with a perfect 5-0 record. The "Black Friday Clash at the Ralph" will likely play a huge part in who represents the East Division in the Mid-American Conference championship game. It will be the first college football game played at Ralph Wilson Stadium since 1979 when Syracuse played Miami (FL).
"We are excited to partner with the Buffalo Zoo for this special offer," UB Director of Athletics Danny White said. "The Buffalo Zoo is an important fixture in our community and we encourage our fans to help them reach their goal of building a new polar bear exhibit."
