AEROS INCREASE SEATING FOR EXHIBITION GAMES

Fans can buy tickets at both Aerodromes beginning today

HOUSTON, Texas – The Houston Aeros, in conjunction with the Sugar Land Aerodrome, have announced that the seating capacity for the team’s exhibition games against San Antonio on Saturday, Oct. 2 and Friday, Oct. 8 has been increased to 450 fans. Tickets will be $7 and can be purchased in advance at both the Sugar Land and Willowbrook Aerodrome locations. Game time for both contests is 7 p.m. The tickets are on sale now seven days a week from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

“The Aeros are very gracious that the Sugar Land Aerodrome has agreed to add seating to help us increase capacity to allow for more Aeros fans to see our pre-season games,” said Aeros president Tom Garrity. “We’re hoping this will allow more fans to experience the action. It will be a great atmosphere to show the newest Aeros what great hockey fans the city of Houston has. It’s also perfect for the Aerodrome to be able to display its top-notch facility.”

Players already assigned to the Aeros' camp and eligible to play include Minnesota Wild first-round draft picks Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Mikko Koivu, as well as several other players with considerable NHL experience. No fewer than seven of Minnesota's top 10 prospects will attend training camp.
