Ball State football playing on ESPN2 the day after Halloween means one thing: college students in full costume, hoping to get on national television for five seconds of post-commercial glory.
Ahead of the game against No. 17 Western Michigan, here are some suggestions to deal with the costume policy released by Ball State Athletics for the game.
1. Masks or other costume pieces that in any way obscure the face are strongly discouraged. Attendees may be asked to remove their mask to reveal their face prior to admission.
Ball State-specific costumes
