October 28, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — At the close of the business day today, approximately 70 tickets remained on the DePauw University side of Blackstock Stadium for the 116th Monon Bell Classic, set for Saturday, November 14. The remaining tickets will be available, by phone, beginning at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow by calling the Office of Student Life at (765) 658-4199 or, in person, in room 210 of the Memorial Student Union Building.

The University began the distribution of tickets Monday to students, faculty and staff, and sales to the public began today. Nearly 4,000 tickets were made available. Tickets for the Wabash side of the field are being sold separately by Wabash.

DePauw alumni are also invited to purchase a $30 package which includes a pre-game brunch at Walden Inn and a game ticket. Details can be found here.

More information on tickets may be found in this previous story, but note that online sales have been suspended due to the low volume of remaining tickets.

Gates open at 11:30 a.m. and the Blackstock parking lot will open to the public at 9 a.m. There will be a $5 fee for parking in the Blackstock lot.

This year's game will again be telecast across America on the high definition network HDNet with telecast parties arranged by DePauw and Wabash alumni in over 60 cities.

Pre-orders are being accepted for the limited edition DVD of the 116th Monon Bell Classic, and limited copies of the 2001-08 games remain available. The discs are professionally replicated and contain bonus materials. Details and an online order form can be found here.
