Widener University Mascot to “Pop the Question”






DETAILS: Chester Pride is planning a surprise marriage proposal to Melrose Pride between games of the women’s and men’s basketball double-header versus Arcadia University on February 16 at Widener.

The public address announcer will ask Melrose to come to center circle of the basketball court during the break between games. Chester—the ring box behind his back—will approach Melrose, drop to one knee, open the ring box, and await her answer. Will she say, “Yes”?

Chester and Melrose, male and female lions, are the mascots for the Widener University Pride. They were introduced at the university in 2008, replacing Rocky the Pioneer. Chester and Melrose have been dating since their arrival at Widener.

WHEN: Saturday, February 16, 2:30 p.m. (as soon as the women’s game is over)
WHERE: Widener University Schwartz Gymnasium, 17th Street, Chester, Pa.
