Rochester Knighthawks to host Tony Stewart tonight

Saturday is usually “Lacrosse Night in Rochester,” but tonight lacrosse will share the spotlight with professional auto racing when three-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart visits the Rochester Knighthawks at The Blue Cross Arena.

The defending NLL Champion Rochester Knighthawks will host the Washington Stealth at 8 p.m. in a rematch of opening night. Tickets for the game are on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com, and at The Blue Cross Arena Box Office.

The Knighthawks are offering fans an opportunity to attend an exclusive pregame event at The Radisson Riverside Hotel at 5:30 p.m. The purchase of a Pit Pass includes admission into the meet-and-greet with Tony Stewart, Pit Pass credential, 8x10 photo of Tony Stewart, hors d'oeuvres and a ticket to the Knighthawks game, all for $250.

Rochester will also host its annual Men’s Health Night, presented by the Urology Associates of Rochester. The team will wear special jerseys which will be auctioned off on www.gobuyrochester.com to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. A Tony Stewart numbered, lettered and autographed jersey will be among the auction items.
