Mark your calendars, Bulls. USF and the Tampa Bay Rays have teamed up for the sixth year in a row to put on a special event for current students and alumni.
The USF Alumni Association has confirmed the sixth annual “USF Night at the Rays” will take place on Saturday, Aug.. 3 at Tropicana Field. That night will pit the hometown Rays against the reigning World Series champions San Francisco Giants in a rare matchup, with the two teams not having played each other since 2004.
The USF community can buy discounted ticket prices, with a portion of each ticket sold going directly to the USF Alumni Association. Special guests at the game will include school mascot Rocky the Bull, former USF athletics stars and the Sun Dolls.
Current and former Bulls who attend the game will also enjoy an exclusive giveaway that commemorates the continuing partnership between USF and the Rays within the Tampa Bay community.
