"Veterans and active duty military personnel and one guest receive free admission"
 
"June 29 (RACINE, WIS.) - The Racine Raiders will host Armed Forces Night on Saturday, July 5, 2014, at Historic Horlick Field. Kickoff for the game against the Fox Valley Force of the Northern Elite Football League is set for 7:00 p.m.

"The Racine Raiders are offering free admission to all veterans and active duty military personnel with their military identification card, something they do for every home game. For this game, the team will also allow each armed forces member or veteran to bring one guest (friend, spouse, etc.) to the game for free.


"The Great Lakes Naval Band will perform the National Anthem and will return to perform at halftime. There will also be a flyover for the National Anthem and fireworks.

"To further honor the United States of America, all in-game music will be patriotic-themed.

"The Raiders host the Fox Valley Force, who are 9-0 on the season. This will be the first-ever meeting of the two in-state powerhouses.

"The Force are coming off of a weather-shortened, 14-13 win over the Chippewa Valley Predators this past Saturday. The Raiders had a bye this past weekend but beat the Leyden Lions, 65-13, on June 21.

"Discounted tickets are available at nine-area Racine ticket outlets. A complete listing of outlets can be found on the Racine Raiders website at http://www.racineraiders.com/schedule-2014/tickets/.

Thanks for the info... My son has never been to a football game, and my husband has not been to one since his high school days, and I'd like to treat them to a game. Since going up to Green Bay is not an option, it's nice to know I can take them to a Raider's game. :)
