EAST LANSING, Mich. -- March 17 -- Visitors to the 1998 Michigan High School Athletic Association Boys Basketball Finals at the Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing can easily find their way between the arena and downtown easily by riding the City of East Lansing's Entertainment Express.

CATA bus trolleys, bearing the Entertainment Express signs, will run continuously on Friday, March 27, from 4:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.; and on Saturday, March 28, from 2 until 10 p.m. The boarding locations for the Breslin Center is on the Kalamazoo Street side of the arena.

Grand River Avenue; and the Harrison Roadhouse at 720 Michigan Avenue.

The cost of the trolley is 50 cents one way. Correct change is required. Student fares do not apply to the Entertainment Express.

This is the fourth year of the trolley at the finals, and City of East Lansing officials say use has increased each year.
