Students are invited to test their video game skills in vehicle filled with flat-screen TVs and game consoles
by Janeen Rodgers '15
Students should be ready to put on their "video-game faces” this Friday to win big. All Rider students are invited to play Madden NFL 25 in a head-to-head tournament on Sept. 19 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Winners will receive two NFL tickets of their choice to an Eagles, Giants or Jets game.
A customized vehicle boasting huge flatscreen TVs, Playstations and Xboxes will be parked in front of the Student Recreation Center (SRC), serving as a source of Friday night fun for the first 32 students who register.
"This is one of the many Rider programs we offer for students who enjoy the 'non-athletic' side of recreation and leisure," says Dianna Clauss, assistant director of campus life for recreation programs. "The Madden tournament is designed to give Rider students the opportunity to engage in a friendly competition against each other. You will not want to miss this good time."
Madden NFL 25 is the latest in the long-running and phenomenally successful video-game franchise developed by Electronic Arts.
