March Monday Madness has been discovered to be contagious and has infected NASCAR fans as well! Monday night at The Nest is NASCAR Night! All fans wearing a NASCAR shirt or jacket will receive $1 terrace level admission to the game. Also a special treat for racing fans, an authentic, race- driven Jeff Gordon car will be at The Nest, equipped with a race simulator so that fans can take a lap just like the pros.

March Monday Madness is so crazy, we're nearing the point of a straight jacket in a room with padded walls! In three March Monday Madness games the Condors have given away 13 season tickets as part of the Mucho Season Ticket Giveaway. For every goal the Condors score during March Monday Madness games, one fan is randomly selected to win a season ticket for the 2008- 09 season. Also on Monday, the first 2,000 fans will receive the fourth magnet of the five-piece March Monday Madness Magnet Collectors Series, featuring Condors All-Star D Kevin Truelson.

During the first intermission Monday, Colonel Claw'd and Baby Cal will face their fears in the Condors Slingshot for Merch. Two lucky fans will receive any merchandise items placed on the oversized bowling pins that the mascots knock down. If you're not one of the two lucky fans and you want merch, don't worry, all Condors jerseys are 50% off at Monday's game!
