TICATS HOST RIDERS ON HALLOWEEN
Hamilton, Ontario – This year’s Halloween activities will begin at Ivor Wynne Stadium this Saturday, October 31 as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at 2:00 p.m. presented by AM 900 CHML and Y108 in a game that will have significant implications on the Ticats playoff run.
Families are encouraged to come down to Ivor Wynne Stadium to kick off Halloween as the Ticats are offering a free youth ticket* with the purchase of an adult ticket. Kids can visit candy stations located at Ivor Wynne Stadium from 12:30-1:30pm to receive a treat from Ticats alumni and cheerleaders and the first 20,000 fans inside the gates at Ivor Wynne will receive a Halloween treat bag courtesy of Zellers. Pepsi prizes will be awarded to fans wearing the best costumes and a special halftime ‘Thriller‘ routine will be performed by Stripes and the Ticats cheerleaders presented by AMJ Campbell Van Lines.
The team will also pay tribute to its proud history on Saturday. Former Hamilton Flying Wildcat/Tiger-Cat Vince Scott’s name will be added to the Wall of Honour and the Ticats will recognize the 1999 Grey Cup championship team. Danny McManus, Rob Hitchcock, Paul Osbaldiston and several other members of the 1999 team will be on hand to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Black and Gold’s most recent Grey Cup victory.
