Saying Goodbye To Roberts Stadium, by Rich Davis, Evansville Courier & Press

The final University of Evansville men's basketball game ever at Roberts Stadium now has a definite start time.

Evansville will take on the Illinois State Redbirds on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 2:05 CST.  Next season, both the men's and women's teams will play their games at the $127 million downtown arena, which is due for completion in October.

All former Aces’ basketball coaches, players, student managers, student athletic trainers, cheerleaders, dance team members, pep band members and Ace Purples are being invited back as guests of the University to help Aces' fans celebrate more than five decades of basketball at Roberts Stadium.  A similar celebration will take place in conjunction with the final women's game at Roberts, on Saturday, March 5 against Wichita State at 2:00.
