Warrensburg, Mo. (Aug. 22, 2000) -- Season tickets for Central Missouri State University's 2000 home football schedule are now available. In their fourth year under head coach Willie Fritz, the Mules play seven of their 11 games at Walton Stadium/Kennedy Field this season.

Their home opener is Aug. 31 against Winona State University. The two teams met for the first time last season, with the Mules winning 30-24 in Warrensburg.

The Mules' other non-conference game will be against Quincy University on Sept. 9. The following Saturday, Sept. 16, the Mules will open the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association portion of their season against Emporia State University.

After a crucial road game at Pittsburg State University on Sept. 23, the Mules will take on Washburn University on Sept. 30 as part of CMSU's Family Weekend. Homecoming will be Oct. 21 with the Mules entertaining Missouri Western State College, while Southwest Baptist University will provide the opposition on Oct. 28. The final regular-season game on Nov. 11 will match the Mules against two-time defending NCAA Division II national champion Northwest Missouri State University.

Season tickets for the general public are $42 for seats in sections A, B, and C. Seats in those sections have seatbacks. For seats in section D (without seatbacks), season tickets are $35.
