Horsemen Knockout Ticket Giveaway
July 8, 2008 by Paul Hooper
*THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED*
That’s right, we are back again with another blog giveaway. This time around the Horsemen Football is helping us to hook you all up with an awesome experience for you and your friends. There are two more home games left for the Horsemen. Two lucky winners (one for each game) chosen at random will win themselves 4 tickets to the game. Not only will you get to go to the game, but the winner and one of his/her guests will be brought on field during one of the breaks in the game to box each other with over-sized boxing gloves. The winner of the boxing match will win 14 free passes to LA Boxing at Brannon Crossing.
The rules are simple as always:
- Leave a comment on this post
- In your comment, tell us something different you’d like to see at a Horsemen Football game
- Be sure to leave the comment with an email address you check frequently, since that will be how we will contact you if you are one of the winners.
The giveaway will end at 5:00pm EST on Thursday, July 10. After it is over, we will take all the entries and have our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine determine a winner. We have trained our monkey well, and if he detects that someone has entered more than once then not only will they be disqualified, but they will get bad luck for 5 years and a visit from the IRS. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment, so be sure to enter ONLY ONCE.
The final two Horsemen Football games are on July 12 at 7:30pm and July 19 at 7:30pm. We hope that even if you aren’t one of the lucky winners, you will still come out and join us and help cheer them on when they are boxing. Good luck to all who enter!

More Free stuff.
I just want to see my first Horseman’s Game!!!
Better Half Time Show
I hope I win this time!
More family friendly activities! Thanks!
I have never been to a Horsemen game so everything would be new form me at a game. I think it would be neat to just go watch!
More interaction with the younger kids during the breaks
I would personally like to see the horsemen be the best team in the league and dominate the opposition like I know they can
I would love to see more fan interactive games.
I would like to see my first live football game.
Local bands (including high school marching bands) who want to perform at halftime.
More involvement with the crowd & kids.
The entertainment is great at the games! It would be nice to see games/giveaways that involve parent/kid teams competing against other parent/kid teams. This would get the family involved and encourage family interaction!
And karoke is always a good source of entertainment!
I would like to see dance studios and cheerleading studios throughout Kentucky perform during halftime shows. for example: clogging, hip hop dance, elite cheerleading, etc.
My first Horsemen game was March 29, 2008, and I was hooked. I love to watch the game, and I love to watch the fans. Some of them really crack me up. As for something different - well, how about having the refs box each other with those big gloves????
ME! I want to see me at the game!
I would like them to have an actual half time show at some of the games, for instance invite one of the local college bands to perform: UK, KSU or even one of the local high school bands, or maybe one of the dance teams. it would make it very interesting and more people would attend the Horsemen because there children are performing at the RUPP. This is called how to bring more of a crowd in from the local communities.
I love football!! How about having little league football teams showcase their special drills and or skills at halftime? Punt, pass, kick contest or just showing their special warmup drills.
cheaper beer……woohoooooooo go horsemen…..
bring that dancing guy back from the old thoroughblades…..he was a regular fan but went crazy dancing during timeouts………..
I would like to see the horseman offer special pricing and giveaways to corporations in the area. This would be a great way to get people to the games.Some ideas could be as simple as Jersey giveaways,special rates for large corporate groups,special pricing on food products,discount season tickets.
i would be nice to have vendors selling drinks and popcorn during the game so you dont have to get up so much
More activities for smaller kids
I would like to find out how I can promote my business during half time. I love the Horsemen!
Have local youth football teams run a few plays at each game. Lots of local teams, and those boys would love it.
Have more fun things and special discout days for kids!
Hey! I’m a typical male pig. MORE CHEERLEADERS!!!
more games and fun stuff for the kids!
Something differnet I wanna see there……hummm me!!
I want to see me there!!!
The first different thing I’d like to see at a Horsemen’s game is ME-I’ve never been. Secondly, I’d like to see a family/kids night so we can go with our 2 year old!
Never been. Would love to go and take my boys.
I would love to just see a game, never been before. Having company this weekend it would be neat to take them to see one too.
I would like to see videos during the breaks (half-time, time outs, before the game, etc.) that spotlights each player. That way we (the fans) can get a better connection to the team.
I wanna see a field goal kicking contest. Or I would like to see the Cats fans try and tear these goal post down.
My two boys and I have gone to games since opening day and love indoor football! Would like to see the halftime football throws for the car give away to comeback. It was so much fun trying to get them in the sunroof.
i would like to see lots of FREE BEER or food after every touchdown.
Go Horsemen!!
Wow 4 free tickets to the game and a boxing match with a family memebr of my choosing wow that would be interesting. First off for those who have never been too a Horsemen game you are missing the most fun and excitement there is and for the family it is great fun and excitement. It is the only place that you can go and see a good game with lots of hard hitting action . The game is a little different than regular football. but once you are hooked you want to go back for more. I have and been going ever since. Anyways afte rthe game you can go meet your favorite players and cheerleaders and they are the best 2 groups of people you will ever meet and interact , talk and get autographs. They love too entertain and give you a great game.So I can say is if you have never made it too a game you need too do it at least once this would be the game too make it too because the guys are hungry and the Horsemen are chomping at the bit too get the Lead in the Division. GOOOOOO HORSEMEN
I am sure my son would love to get a chance to knock out his older brother or dad in front of thousands of fans and not have me (Mom) yelling at him for doing it! Horseman and Henry Clay football rocks!
Suggestion: Kiddie Kapers Dance Company, a LFUCG Parks and Recreation organization, has dozens of dance classes throughout the year of all ages and styles that would probably love to perform in Rupp. Contact Mindy Stone at 288-2900.
More for kids 6 and 7. they love the Legends. The mascot is friendly faced and kid interactive and they love all the kid freebies in their size. After all, we go where the kids like to go!
What about with paid adult ticket and kid ticket-the kids get a Horseman toy.
They would keep the toy and the parents and the kids would be reminded about the fun they had.
We really would like to go to the next Horsemen game .
More free stuff! Chances to win more horseman tickets.
I love the dogs coming out at 1/2time catching frisbies and doing tricks. that should be a staple. Contest like the field goal kick are great to.
I would love to see anything…………..I’ve never been to a Horseman game!!!
i would love to see a store besides the office and the actual games to purchase merchandise. But since this is for the game i would like to see more crowd interaction. maybe even from the players themselves. if you dont already have a section like a UK student section i would suggest you make one were devoted fans can dress up and just be loud
My husband LOVES the Horsemen! It would be great to win tickets around his upcoming birthday!
I would like to see the mascot run in a small circle face down on the end of a bat, throw a football to a receiver and run into the end zone..without falling down from the dizzy circles!
The Horseman are awesome, and the only professional football in the area that is affordable. I would like to see more fan giveaways.
Never been to a Horseman game, would love to come and check it out!!!
I think we should have a huge Horsemen statue on wheels, resembilng the ancient Trojan horse, that could wheel around the field during breaks shooting out goodies. You could even hide the dancers or others inside and have them rush the field to perform.
We love football and have never been to a Horsemen game but would love to bring my family. I have son that plays for North Laurel High School with hopes of playing for a College and will be a Senior this year. I can’t think of anything that could you could change except for me and my family to be there.
I think we could use more ex-UK players on the team.
There should be a contest to see who can throw the most footballs into a trashcan during one of the timeouts!!!
Go Horsemen!!!
Bring back the small blimp that flew around at the thoroughblades and dropped swag for the audience. My children loved that thing.
See you soon at the house that Rupp built
I have yet to go to a horseman game so I would just enjoy seeing the game.
I just became a KY resident last year and would love to see my first Horsemen’s game with my family…It would also be cool to get to box my husband; especially since our 1 yr. anniversary is coming up at the end of July…lol!!
I would like to see more things involving the crowd.
More promotional nights
I would like to see the Horsemen have a Faith Night once a season like the Lexington Legends do. They could have a special concert or something during halftime or after the game. It would attract a lot of families and youth groups. It would be a good promotion for getting in groups, and then get them excited about Horsemen Football!
half time show with a passing and kicking contest for the fans to compete in..
I think it would be great to see my kids faces as they watch their first game. My oldest wants to be a football player, so this would be a great opportunity for him!
To show people “how to box” one player from each team should demonstrate!
I would love to recognize kids doing charitable type things. LEXINGTON has alot of good kids out there helping the community. I also enjoy reaching out to families in need, helping them with a night out to the game! I love football and thank you guys for the Horsemen!
come on Monkey I would love to see a horseman game, I have never been but I have been told how cool the games are. What I enjoy seeing at events are cheerleaders, door prizes, and free stuff when you walk into the game.
I would like to see more cash and prized given away during the games. Lets face the facts though, I doubt anyone will post a comment saying you should give away less. So yea, I’m honest, I just want free tickets to an awesome game and the chance to beat the tar outta one of my friends. I was selected once to race in the hamster balls, that was a real hoot! Just give me a chance to box and I won’t let you down.
Holla at a Balla….
I think it would improve attendance, public awareness and get many families hooked if local area bands, teams, etc., were allowed to perform or entertain at half-time. Giveaways are always great too!
I have never been to a Horseman game, but I would love to go to one!!!
I’ve never attended a Horsemen game, but would love to! Thanks
The Horsemen are Great! Please give out free shirts during the game!
Never have been and would love to bring my two young boys for the experience!! Things I have heard from others that have been is that they need to have more give aways and more crowd experiences!!!
I would love to see my first Horsemen’s Game!!
Pick some very exciting people from the the crowd and let them say on a microphone a word of cheer after every horseman touchdown!
I would like to see more free stuff thrown into the crowd
A father / son night where a son gets in free with fathers paid ticket. I would love to take my son to his first game!
I have been to 1 game it was awsome my boys and I really enjoyed the game, and just the whole experience.
I would be great if you gave away gas cards and grocery cards, due to the way the prices of everyday life have become crazy!
I would like to see more youth interaction.
I had season passes for several years and LOVED every game!! The atmosphere is awesome. It is something that everyone should experience at least once. So…I think you should give those tickets to first time spectators and spread the love!! I recommend you bring back the Jr. Fillie Dancers to allow school aged children to be more involved in the program. My daughter danced as a Jr. Fillie and although it’s been years she still talks about the experience. It was great for her self esteem, etc. GO HORSEMEN!!
need more fans in rupp to suport the horseman and more giveaways
I would like to see the two teams owners or coaches get in and box it out and maybe even have a trophy were they can do it every year!!!
Promotional nights with free giveaways. Go Horsemen!!
I think it would be fun to see the Horsemen Fillies wrestle around on mats.
I would like to see family entertainment. 3 years ago there were Veggie Tales at the game…. My family loved it. I would like to see something like this.
I would like to see more free PRIZES, such as free nights in a local hotel,free dinners at local resturants,and of course more free horsemen tickets.
GO HORSEMEN !!!! ARENA CUP 2008 CHAMPIONS!!!!
I would love to see the game, and get free stuff!
Horsemen rock. Bring back the Kentucky State marching band at half time. That ruled.
Also, a new PA announcer. Don’t want to name names and be ugly, but the current guy is obnoxious. You know who I’m talking about.
More FREE stuff!!!
Kid competitions and prizes at half time
I have never been to a Horseman game so I guess the different thing that I would like to see there would be me!
I’ve been in Lexington for 2 years and haven’t heard much about the football team. I would love to attend the game to see what it is all about. I guess I would say I would like to see more people interested in the game.
Would like to see fireworks like the UK basketball games. Also maybe a themed day like 50 cent beer and hot dog or kids hat day etc.
I would like to see more promo nights. Themed with giveaways, discount foods, etc. Maybe some special guest appearances by local groups at halftime.
I have never been to a horseman game, would be awesome to do something different…….
I would love to see singers at the halftime show!
I’ve only been to a couple of games and enjoyed them very much. Lots of action. I’m not sure if you already do this, but you could have promotions during home games such as, Jerseys, Footballs, etc… and other Team Memoribilia for the first 200 or more Fans to enter the Arena on a game day. Also, pick me so I can see another game.
I’d like to see Jared Lorenzen as quarterback!! Go Horseman!
It would be great to see a half time show that would involve the whole crowd. It is normally just contests so the only people interested in watching or those who know the people participating.
Do something like a comedy act that the entire stadium would get enjoyment out of. That would make a Horseman game perfect from beginning to end!
At half time. Do a show, and along witht the show reconize a child that is doing fundraisers for health issues like some of these blind children in Kentucky that are working so hard to raise money for the unbilical sten cel treatmentl to cure Blindness. The recongnition along with allow the community to know they could give for a cause of one of our won chilren. There is a child there now from Owenboro and one trying to go from Maysville.
I would like to see something like a UFO land in Rupp Arena and a bunch of Aliens get out and take sets in the stands to watch and cheer on the greatest indoor football team in the universe, THE LEXINGTON HORSEMEN. It could be promoted as Special Guest from out of town arive to watch the Horsemen rock the world. Or the biggest game in the universe, put logos on shirts, jerseys mugs shot glasses, etc. and in the end have the aliens abduct the fillies. I think this would be great fun.
I’d just love to see a game!! I’m a huge football fan and have never been to a Horseman/ any arena football game yet!
My kids love to come and watch the horseman they love JT. and Harry they would love to come and see the horseman . On saturdayis my oldest son birthday
It would be great if concessions had those hotdogs with the cheese already on the inside.
I would love to be able to send my husband and his three buddies from high school to a Horsemen game. They are all HUGE football fans. I would like to see at the games anything that gets the audience up and moving. Like radom people picked out of the audience to go the electric slide or macarana.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF LENNY AND VICKY. LENNY COULD ACT OUT WHEN HE SEE’S A BAD CALL. HARRAS THE REFS. GET EJECTED FROM THE GAME AND VICKY CAM COME TO HIS SIDE AND HELP. OR THEY COULD INTERACT WITH THE FANS. KNOWING THE HOUSE’S MAKES IT MORE FUN TO ME. JUST TO KNOW THEM MAKES GOING THAT MORE FUN.( OH HAY, THERE IS LENNY.)
My family has not been able to see a horseman game and it would be nice to be able to experance this togather for the first time all togather as a family.
I would like to see the games marketed more widely because I don’t live in Lexington and I very rarely hear anything about Horsemen or their games. We have never been but would love to go. More promotions and kid friendly things.
More special promotion nights would be good.
I brought my grandson to a game once and he loved it. He got to come out on the floor and see the players. Why not give one football away each game with all the players having signed it, along with the coaches. Then have a picture made with the winner and his signed football. My grandson would love to have one of those game balls. This football is more fun than watching the field type game. It is more exciting and more action without so many delays like the field games. The Horsemen rock! This is such a fun evening for the whole family.
I would like to see more family-friendly activities because I love taking my stepson to games.
I would like more open participation, More cheers from cheerleaders to get the audience making noise, more /better organized meet-n-greets with the players, Photo ops!
Freebies are great!
Fans need to be stimulated not just borded staring at a game when it is slow, Take Bull riding there is a rodeo clown to fill in the down time.
I’d like to see Kentucky horsemen (licensed race horse owners, trainers, breeders, etc.) receive discounts on Horsemen tickets.
I will never go to another Horseman game. The team themselves is fine but the people running the show are crooks.
I’d like to see more fan contests like the boxing match.
Definitely more free stuff and the half-time show could use some work!! My son loves seeing all of the mascots at the games, though
