The Harlem Globetrotters March 13, 2011

The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters will return to the Samford University campus for the fourth straight year, as they bring their 2011 World Tour to the Pete Hanna Center on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Show time is 4pm.

The Globetrotters, who have contributed more innovations to the game of basketball than any other team in history, have implemented the first-ever 4-point shot as part of all of its games on the team’s 2011 “4 Times the Fun” North American tour. This game-changing innovation will be on display when the Globetrotters take on the Washington Generals at the Pete Hanna Center at Samford University on Sunday, March 13th.

Throughout the 2011 North American tour, every Globetrotters game will now feature two designated 4-point shooting spots on each side of midcourt, each located 35 feet from the basket (the spots are 12 feet beyond the NBA’s official 3-point line). The 4-point option is expected to further open up the playing floor for the Globetrotters as well as their opponents, the Generals, and is expected to generate even more high-scoring action and competitive play.

The Globetrotters are in their 85th consecutive year of touring the globe, providing entertainment for the whole family. The 2010-11 tour kicks off on December 26th, when the Globetrotters play the brand-new CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

Tickets are on sale NOW. Tickets are $25.00-$75.00, with a limited number of VIP Packages available. For group tickets, call the Hanna Center Box Office at (205) 726-4343.
