PEORIA, Ill. ? The Bradley Department of Athletics has extended the deadline to sign up for the two bus trips planned for Wednesday:  men's basketball to Loyola Chicago and soccer to Indiana for the second round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship.  Reservations for both trips are being coordinated by the Bradley Athletics Ticket Office staff at the Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse box office until noon Tuesday. 

The cost of the trip to Bloomington, Ind., for the soccer game is $20, which does not cover the cost of the game ticket ($7 for adults, $3 for children).  Students may ride the bus for free, but must make a $5 deposit that will be refunded once they board the bus.  The bus will depart Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse at noon Wednesday and will return to Peoria immediately following the game with an expected arrival of approximately 1 o'clock Thursday morning.

The cost of the trip to Chicago for the men's basketball game is $42, which includes the cost of the game ticket for Wednesday night's game versus the Ramblers.  The men's basketball bus will depart the fieldhouse at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon and will return to Peoria immediately after the game, with an expected arrival time shortly after midnight.

The trip to Loyola is the first of four “Rollin' with the Braves” bus trips planned for the 2007-08 Bradley men's basketball season.  Additional trips are slated for Dec. 19 to Butler ($58), Jan. 12 to Northern Iowa ($56) and Feb. 9 to Illinois State ($30).
