An agreement between Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University allows Henderson students to attend OBU athletic events free of charge, and gives Ouachita students free access to Henderson athletic events. Students must present their ID cards for free admission, according to Henderson athletic director Sam Goodwin and Ouachita athletic director David Sharp.
“It is exciting to see that both Ouachita and Henderson have agreed to allow students to attend athletic events without charging the regular admission prices,” said Chad Fielding, Henderson dean of students. “There are so many students who have either friends or family at both institutions and this is a great way to get students to attend athletic events at both schools.”
Fielding said students will benefit most when Henderson and Ouachita play each other. “But on those weekends where Henderson teams are playing away, students can now go over to OBU with friends that attend school there and enjoy athletic events,” he said. “This new policy simply makes a great partnership between the two schools.
