WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State Athletics has announced additional details for this year's Shocker Madness event that will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 6:30 p.m., inside Charles Koch Arena and feature unique opportunities for fans to participate in select on-court Shocker Madness activities.
Shocker Madness will include performances from the Shocker Sound Machine and WSU Spirit Squads, announcements of this year's Shocktoberfest spirit awards and Shocker Royalty winners, introductions of the basketball teams, a three-point contest, a newly introduced knockout competition, and basketball team scrimmages.
Also new to this year's event are opportunities for randomly-selected fans to participate in various Shocker Madness events. Opportunities include competing in the three-point contest, participating in the knockout competition, taking part in the Dynamo Capital "Show Me The Money Shootout", and serving as honorary coaches during the scrimmage portion of the event. Attendees will be able to enter to participate in these opportunities by scanning QR codes placed throughout the venue and completing an online sign-up form.
Additionally, the men's and women's basketball teams will sign autographs for fans from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the concourse outside section 125 near the Champions Club.
Doors to Charles Koch Arena open at 5:30 P.M. for the free event and parking is free on a first-come, first-serve basis.
No tickets are required to attend. All fans should enter through the main entrance located at the southwest side of the arena -- no other entrances will be open. Wichita State University students are encouraged to check in with Student Affairs inside the main entrance by scanning their WSU ID. General admission seating will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis as arena occupancy allows. Select seating sections within the arena will be reserved for Wichita State University students (sections 117 & 118), Shocker student-athletes, and university personnel.
The clear-bag policy and all other regular arena policies will be enforced for those entering Charles Koch Arena. Opengate walk-through metal detectors will also be utilized for security purposes.
