Homecoming 2012 to feature
basketball, hockey and new arena
Mark your calendar for an expanded UNO Homecoming 2012 — so big it will be held on two days: Nov. 9 and 10!
UNO on Friday, Nov. 9 will celebrate the opening date for UNO basketball at the new Ralston Sports and Events Center. An opponent still is being decided upon for the Mavs' first game in the 3,500-seat facility, currently under construction at 7400 Main Street in Ralston.
On Saturday, Nov. 10, UNO Homecoming 2012 hits the ice for a Maverick hockey game against 2011 national champion Minnesota –Duluth.
“Our 2012 Homecoming events will bring the celebration of UNO to different areas of Omaha, from campus to the new Ralston Arena and downtown,” says Lee Denker, UNO Alumni Association president. “It will be an exciting time for alumni, students and fans to kick off a new era of UNO basketball while also supporting the Mav hockey team.”
UNO’s homecoming traditions include a lively parade, a campus decorating contest, crowning of a king and queen, and a tailgate party. Additional details will be available in the June UNO Magazine, at www.unoalumni.org and in emails sent to all graduates.
