PHILADELPHIA – As students return to the University of Pennsylvania campus for the spring 2018 semester, Penn Athletics has partnered with Uber to provide Penn students with free uberPOOL rides to and from select men's basketball home games at The Palestra. This offer will be available for the following games, beginning with this Friday's contest against Cornell:
           
*Friday, 1/12 vs. Cornell @ 8 p.m.
*Saturday, 1/20 vs. Temple @ 2 p.m.
*Saturday, 1/27 vs. Saint Joseph's @ 7 p.m.
*Saturday, 2/3 vs. Yale @ 7 p.m.
*Saturday, 2/24 vs. Harvard @ 7pm

The Wednesday before each game, Penn Athletics will send students an email with a special promo code that they can enter into their Uber app. The code will only apply toward uberPOOL trips between University City and the Palestra on the designated game dates beginning one (1) hour before tip-off and ending one (1) hour after the game finishes, up to $10 per trip.*
 
The fun doesn't end with the free ride. After each game, one student who entered the uberPOOL code for that game will be randomly selected to win a prize of $50 in Uber credit. And students who use the uberPOOL code for any of the designated games will automatically be entered into a grand prize drawing for $250 in Uber credit!**

Uber provides fans with greater access to on-demand ridesharing options, including a designated Uber pickup and dropoff zone outside the Palestra.

More than 5 billion trips later, we've started tackling even greater challenges: making transportation safer with self-driving cars, delivering food quickly and affordably with Uber Eats, and reducing congestion in cities by getting more people into fewer cars.
