Students will have free access to bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, and arcade games during this year’s Big Event.
Student Activities Council, a branch of Student Government Association, organizes Big Event annually as an end of the year celebration.
SAC will host this year’s Big Event at Main Event, an OKC entertainment venue, 1441 W. Memorial Road. Students will have free admission to the event from 7-10 p.m. April 19.
Past Big Events have been on campus, at the Bricktown Ballpark, in the Boathouse District, and at Frontier City, 11501 N. I-35 Service Road. Monica Hiller, education senior and SAC vice president, said she doesn’t think Big Event has been hosted at Main Event in the past, but said it will be a good venue.
“It’s indoors and big enough to accommodate a large quantity of people,” Hiller said. “Students will receive a card for unlimited games and pizza.”
Students will not be able to get prizes with the tickets they win in the arcade games, but some raffle prizes will be available.
Quent Wheeler, software engineering/business solutions junior, is helping plan the event. Wheeler said a van will drive back and forth from OCU and Main Event to provide transportation to students who don’t have cars, but personal transportation is recommended.
“We encourage carpooling together so they can have a group to have fun with whenever they arrive at Main Event,” Wheeler said. “It will be a fun event, and there are lots of opportunities to do various activities in groups.”
Wheeler said he’s excited about the location because of the large number of entertainment options in a single facility.
“Since we are renting it out, OCU students will have all sorts of activities to choose from, like bowling, arcade games, laser tag, gravity ropes, and billiards,” he said. “Also it is very difficult to predict weather in Oklahoma in April, so we thought an indoor facility that could hold us all would be perfect.”
Students must bring their school ID to attend the event.
Students can find more information about the event on the Facebook event “OKCU Main Event 2018!”
