Information on how to enter both competitions will be available in April. Other events will include an "I Believe I Can Fly" crowd sing-off, a Bill Murray look-a-like contest, and an epic player entrance experience. The night will be complete with postgame fireworks.
Exclusively of July 30th, guests with the name "Michael Jordan" will receive free entry into the game. In addition, fans with the initials "M.J." and fans who wear a basketball jersey (t-shirts excluded) to the game will receive $5 off the gameday ticket price.
