Get Ready To Cheer On the Blues
|
Cheering on Whitman Blues Basketball teams just got easier, more convenient and flexible than ever.
Three new Flex Pass options have been designed for families and groups. They can be used in any combination at any regular season home game.
|
- Family Flex Pass – 5 tickets
- 10-Pack Flex Pass – 10 tickets
- GOAT Flex Pass – 15 tickets
|
Superfans can elevate their game-day experience with premium Blue Seats for $150 per seat per season. They will enjoy the game sitting directly behind the Blues team bench and rest on a built-in seat back. Fans will also get to select their seat location for every home game and get priority reservation access for any Northwest Conference or NCAA postseason contests hosted in Sherwood Athletic Center.
General Admission tickets are still available at the door and seating is first-come, first-served. When the facility is not at full capacity, General Admission tickets are complementary for Whitman students, faculty and staff.
Doors open one hour prior to the start of the first game.
For more information, team schedules or to purchase tickets, a Flex Pass or Blue Seat, visit whitmanblues.com.

Reminder: Students Take Campus Free Expression Survey

The college is working to ensure a free expression space that is accessible, functional and reflective of student needs. A task force is reviewing the current use of the tennis court fence and exploring possible alternatives. Students are encouraged to share their thoughts, feedback and make recommendations in this short survey. Your input will help shape a more accessible and student-centered expression space on campus.
