CANYON, Texas - West Texas A&M athletics has announced two opportunities for Buffalo football fans who wish to see WT take on Northwest Missouri State in the second round of the NCAA-II Playoffs to make the trip to Maryville, Mo. The Buffs and Bearcats are scheduled to square off at NWMSU's Bearcat Stadium on Saturday at Noon.

Charter Plane
As of Monday evening, there are 57 extra seats on the team's charter plane that are available to the general public. Cost is $499.27 per seat, round trip. THESE SEATS MUST BE RESERVED AND PAID FOR BY THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY ON TUESDAY -- Travelers cannot be added after 5 p.m. Tuesday. The plane is leaving Amarillo at 10 a.m. Friday with an 11:30 a.m. arrival in St. Joseph, Mo. The plane is scheduled to leave St. Joseph at 6 p.m. Saturday, landing in Amarillo at 7:35 p.m. (If we have overtime, it will wait for us).

Charter Bus
Additionally, there are 25 seats available on a charter bus leaving campus at 8 a.m. The cost is $100 per seat. This includes travel only (no hotel or game ticket). The bus will arrive in St. Joseph, Mo., around 7 p.m. Friday night, and will depart for Amarillo immediately after the game on Saturday, for arrival back to campus around 3-4 a.m. These reservations must be made by Noon on Wednesday. We will look for a hotel to accommodate all bus passengers and that information will be made available on Tuesday morning.

Plane and bus travelers are responsible for their own rental cars, hotels and food accommodations. Bus passengers will not need rental cars - the bus will take them to the game.
