YPSILANTI, Mich. — The Eastern Michigan University Athletics Department has announced that six fan bus trips have been planned for football road games during the 2007 season. Tickets to ride the fan bus are $10 each, while 2007 EMU Football season ticket holders will receive two complimentary bus tickets. The bus ticket includes a boxed meal, however riders still must purchase a game ticket for admission into the stadium.
Chartered buses will be available for the Pittsburgh game Saturday, Sept. 1 (departure time – 11 a.m.), Northern Illinois Saturday, Sept.15 (departure time – 6 a.m.), Vanderbilt Saturday, Sept. 29 (departure time – 8 a.m.), Ohio Saturday, Oct. 13 (departure time – 7 a.m.), Toledo Saturday, Nov. 3 (departure time – 4:30 p.m.) and Central Michigan Friday, Nov. 16 (departure time – 3 p.m.).

All trips, except the Vanderbilt game, return to Ypsilanti following the game. The Vanderbilt trip will be an overnight trip, leaving the morning of Sept. 29 and returning the evening of Sept. 30. Anyone taking the bus to this game will need to make their own hotel accommodations. EMU has reserved a block of rooms at the Drury Inn near the Nashville airport, which is where the fan bus will be parked for the night. Please call 615.902.0400 to make a reservation under the EMU group. The bus will depart the Drury Inn, Sept. 30, at 8 a.m. CST and arrive back in Ypsilanti around 6 p.m. EST.
Fans will need to reserve their spot on the fan bus no later than two weeks prior to the game, so that EMU Athletics can make a determination on how many buses will need to travel. Contact the EMU Ticket Office at 734.487.2282 to reserve a spot.
