In the mood for some fright with your football? How about winning a trip for your treat? Or, how cool would it be to listen to some monstrously awesome music?
If so, CSU is the place to be on Halloween for young and old alike.
In addition to lots of kid-friendly activities and giveaways at the CSU-San Diego State football game and the CSU-Nevada volleyball match, audiences of all ages can take in the popular Halloween Organ Extravaganza at the University Center for the Arts. Tickets remain for all three great events.
Football fun for all
The fun starts at Hughes Stadium, when the Rams will take on the Aztecs in a key Mountain West game starting at 1:30 p.m. “Halloween at Hughes” will include trick-or-treating for kids and a costume contest. Various sports teams will be handing out treats in the Ram Town kids’ zone on the south side of the stadium. Kids, accompanied by an adult, can also go onto the playing field at halftime to participate in a costume parade.
All fans can register to compete in the costume contest, with cash prizes up to $1,000 going to the top five costumes. Voting will take place on Facebook; costumes must be in good taste to be considered.
