All undergraduates will have the opportunity to attend a very special basketball game tonight when the program retires senior Shane Battier's jersey.
Considering the significance of the ceremony and the anticipated demand to witness this, previously published plans for admittance have been scrapped in favor of a policy that ensures fans from all four classes have a reasonable opportunity to attend.
There are five tiers of wristbands for tonight's game; distribution began at 7:45 this morning and will continue until all 1,400 are exhausted.
Tiers one, two, four and five are 200 wristbands each and are available to members of all four classes, seniors included.
The third tier is open only to seniors and will include 600 wristbands. After these wristbands are distributed, we anticipate squeezing in some students from the walk-in line, so please show up even if you don't get a band.
I apologize for the last-minute nature of this announcement, but I feel a shift of focus is critical considering the magnitude of the occasion.
