NEWARK, NJ, September 6, 2003 - The Newark Bears Professional Baseball Club will host the first annual College Night at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium on Friday, September 12TH for the double header against the Pennsylvania Road Warriors beginning at 6:05 PM.

Each college with a group of 30 or more is invited to bring out their mascot and have a concourse display to hand out information.

"College night is a great way for students to kick off the academic year and give faculty the chance to promote the opportunities available to students at a wide variety of institutions," said Chris Bryan, Vice President and General Manager of the Newark Bears Baseball Club.
