Tent city at Gonzaga University

Students who want to be in the student section at Monday night's men's basketball game against the San Diego State Aztecs first secured a spot to camp out, then must stay overnight in the rain and be ready for when they are allowed to buy tickets to get into the game Monday. The tent city happens several times a year when a major opponent visits McCarthey Athletic Center.
