Dayton Flyers men’s basketball fans started receiving their season tickets in the mail this week. All the tickets feature photos of the arena from years past, but the tickets for the Nov. 9 game against Indiana State copy the design of the tickets issued for the first game at UD Arena: Dec. 6, 1969, vs. Bowling Green.

The 1969 tickets, which cost $3 if you were sitting in the upper level, celebrated the 65th season of Dayton basketball. The 2019 tickets celebrate the 50th year of UD Arena.
