2016 MSU Baseball Ticket Information | 2016 Bears Baseball Schedule
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Season tickets for Missouri State's 30-game 2016 home baseball schedule are now available through the MSU Athletics Box Office. As part of all Bears' season-ticket packages, individuals who place their orders prior to Feb. 8 will receive complementary tickets to MSU's annual First Pitch Night, which will be held Feb. 13 at the Bill Rowe Training Facility at Hammons Field.
The Bears, who finished with a school-record 49 wins last spring en route to capturing both the MVC regular-season and conference tournament titles, as well as the Springfield Regional crown to advance to their second NCAA Super Regional, will welcome back 18 letterwinners and five regular position starters from last year's club. Sophomore third baseman Jake Burger and junior closer Bryan Young are back to lead MSU's group of returnees after earning All-America honors last season.
Highlighting the home portion of the MSU schedule will be three-game non-conference series against Iowa (March 18-20), the runner-up at this past spring's NCAA Springfield Regional at Hammons Field. Fellow Big Ten member Minnesota (March 25-27) will pay a visit to Springfield a week later as part of a slate that features midweek games versus five different clubs that ranked among the top 100 teams nationally last spring. Marquee April and May match-ups with regional rivals Saint Louis (April 5), Kansas (April 6), Missouri (April 12) and Arkansas (May 3) will bookend a stout home slate that includes early non-league games against Oral Roberts (March 1) and Oklahoma State (March 8), as well as Missouri Valley Conference home series with Evansville (April 22-24), Southern Illinois (May 6-8) and Illinois State (May 19-21).
Renewal information for current season-ticket holders will be mailed this week and include packages for lower-level reserved chairback seats for $100 (general public), $50 for Missouri State faculty and staff and $20 for students. Eight-game mini-packages will also be offered for $32 per ticket. Additionally, MSU is offering free season-long admission for up to two children (ages 12 and under) with the purchase of two 2016 season tickets.
Bears' single-game tickets for the 2016 season, which will go on-sale in January, remain priced at $5 for the general public, $2.50 for Missouri State faculty and staff, $2 for students and special rates are offered for groups of 20 or more. All children ages 12 and under not accompanied by a season-ticket holder will require a $2 ticket for admission. Students must show a valid and current BearPass Card along with a student ticket to gain entry to Hammons Field.
All Bears baseball season-ticket holders -- including new orders and renewals placed by Feb. 8 -- will be entitled to the same number of complementary tickets to MSU's eighth-annual First Pitch fundraiser, additional details for which will be announced in the near future.
