Roughly 2,000 tickets are available for purchase, all of which come with designated seats. As part of the 100 Year Tour, this game will be a fan celebration with epic new pregame magic, unforgettable postgame interactions, and the most fan-fueled experience in sports.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the event at the James R. Wilkins Jr. Athletics and Events Center.
