The Youngstown State Athletic Department has announced schedule changes for two events that are set to take place on campus tomorrow.
The YSU men's basketball game against Marshall at Zidian Family Arena, previously scheduled for 6 p.m., will now tip off at 1 p.m. The YSU football game against Illinois State will now start at 4:30 p.m. at Stambaugh Stadium. That contest was originally scheduled for noon.
Gates for the men's basketball game will open at noon. Gates for the football game will open at 3 p.m. Both basketball game day and football tailgate parking passes can be utilized for the M-81 (Youngstown Tile Retail Design Center) Tailgate Lot. All tailgate lots open at 10:30 a.m.
Changes to the schedule are due to the national ground stop by the FAA that occurred before the Redbirds left Bloomington on Friday. Illinois State is now scheduled to fly into Youngstown on Saturday.
