The University of Maine is participating in the NCAA’s Take a Kid to the Game program, which allows children ages 16 and under to pay only $5 for a basketball game ticket with the purchase of an adult reserved seat ticket.

The offer is good for UMaine’s Feb. 23 men’s game against Stony Brook and the Black Bears’ March 8 women’s game against Boston University.

Tickets must be purchased at the UMaine ticket office on the day of the game. For more information, call 581-2327 or 1-800-756-8326.
