Harlem Globetrotters tour coming to the Reilly Center

Known as innovators of the game of basketball for decades, the world famous Harlem Globetrotters will visit St. Bonaventure’s Reilly Center on Wednesday, April 3, at 7 p.m.

For the first time ever, during the Globetrotters’ 2013 “You Write the Rules” World Tour, fans will decide the rules for the game that could affect the final outcome. This could be anything from playing with two basketballs at once, to getting double the points for each basket made. Go online to harlemglobetrotters.com to vote for which ground-breaking rule you want to see implemented in the game.

Tickets, starting at $22, are on sale now at tickets.com or by phone at 1-888-223-6000. For more information, call the St. Bonaventure Ticket Office at 375-2500.

Before the game, fans can take part in a unique 30-minute pre-show, “Magic Pass,” where you and your family get to spend time on the court with the Globetrotters – shooting, trying out ball tricks and collecting autographs and photos. Customers must have a game ticket and Magic Pass for entry (Magic Pass sold separately). After virtually every game, many of the Globetrotter stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans.

This year's Globetrotters roster features stars such as Big Easy Lofton and Scooter Christensen. They will join many other fan favorites, including, 7-foot-4 Stretch Middleton and female star TNT Maddox. Rosters may vary and are subject to change.
