New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to previews, recaps, features and exclusive coverage. 

General Electric makes all sorts of goodies – from microwaves and toasters to washers and dryers.  And now, in partnership with conference member Albany, GE will make many a child’s day. 

Starting with tomorrow’s Albany versus Maine football game at University Field, the inaugural GE Kids-in-Free Program begins.  The program gives children age 12-under the opportunity to attend Great Dane athletic events.  According to the official release from the Albany athletics office, “During the 2011-12 academic year, children 12 and under will receive a free game ticket when accompanied by an adult with a ticket…” 

In addition to all Great Dane home football games, children will also be able to attend select men’s and women’s basketball games this winter and every men’s and women’s lacrosse game in the spring.
