PROMOTIONSThursday, Jan. 22 vs. CSU Bakersfield presented by California Hotel and Casino
January at Bankoh Arena is duck hunting season. Fans are encouraged to come early when doors open at 6:00 p.m., as rubber ducks will be scattered through the arena. If you see a duck, grab a duck; it's yours to keep. There are two variations – one from California Hotel and Casino as well as an "H" branded duck.
- Fans are encouraged to hunt for the one duck with an "H" taped to the bottom. When a fan finds the duck and returns it to the marketing staff on the floor before halftime, they will win the grand prize of the night, a five-day, 4-night stay for two at the Cal, with three meals per day. The offer will be valid for 1 year from the date of the prize letter. The winner must be 21 years or older; if a child finds the duck, a parent can claim the prize.
- UH will also unleash the "Bowzooka" with t-shirts at halftime.
