Kolek planning to go pro
Where is this general public bottled up demand for MU tickets? John & Mary Milwaukee aren't stormin' the Fiserv doors to bust in. Don't see it, hey?
Here is a fun fact: MU brings in more cash in just one row of floor seats than the entire student section altogether.
The other factor with students, (and I'm just speculating) but as the parent of a 20-year-old college student who loves basketball, is the 21 drinking age. These kids who are under 21 can get together in their apartments/dorms and drink cheaply and watch the games on TV. Why go to the arena? I know, they could get boozed up at home before the games, spend 2 hours sobering up at the game, then resume the partying after. But I suspect a lot of them never make it out of the dorms.
Yeah, but it's been that way for 35 years. Although I could see how increased security and metal detectors at the arena making it more difficult for carry-ins could have an impact.
Litehouse, back in our day, you didn't need to carry in. The drinking age was 18 and while I don't remember exactly, my guess is that a beer at Mecca was about a buck.Legal or not, the day my college-age kid pays $11 for a beer is the day I decide he or she has too much spending money.
In my opinion, a college aged kid that doesn't want to go to a game because they can't drink at it is either not a sports fan or has a serious alcohol problem. I knew a lot of people who really liked to drink but were able to last 3 hours without it while watching a crappy basketball team. I'm sure there are many reasons kids don't go to games, but I seriously doubt that is anywhere near the most common reason
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
To be fair have you seen the attempts at carding at the Fiserv or the Bradley? I used a fake Id my freshman year that was literally laminated and it worked so 18 isn't stopping people. Of course it was 6.50 for a 24oz back then.
Serious question, could the be students fed up with the state of program? Fire Wojo signs and booing is the norm at MU and has not been seen since Dukiet.
I’m a little nervous for boos on Wednesday. But then again, I don’t know if enough students will show up that it’s noticeable. MU desperately needs to beat Georgetown to stop the skid.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
79warriorI actually applaud the students for taking a stance. For the last few years the program has been in quick sand and no one has better pulse than kids on campus. Xavier has a crap team this year and kids camped out for game today and our kids are booing and putting up Fire Wojo signs, good for them.
