Leaders in breaking barriers and making history, the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters™ today announced that Dayton will be a key stop on the Harlem Globetrotters: Rivalry Tour, set to play at the WSU Nutter Center on Tuesday, December 29. This tour is unlike any other in 100 years, with a whole new game, a new lineup of rivals, and all-new challenges that raise the stakes at every stop. Fans won't just be watching, either - this season puts them in on the action, from the court to the jumbotron. It's basketball without limits - every possession turned into showtime - bringing the fun, the joy, and the history that only the Globetrotters can deliver.
