Oso planning to go pro
Does our fanbase ever not complain about something?
Does our fanbase ever not complain about something?No students and right before Christmas and a crap opponent? I commend MU for putting some high-grade lipstick on this pig of a game.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Then don't schedule the game. They already have the number of BC dates they need revenue wise, and this game will be a RPI drag.
Well they can't offer the game to season ticket holders because there are more season ticket holders than there are seats at the AL right? So instead you do what's fair and put them all up for sale. I don't see what's wrong with that.... Aren't season ticket holders already getting a defacto free game this year anyway with the exhibition? (17th game)
They COULD HAVE EASILY distributed these tickets for free. They are already making them AVAIL FOR PURCHASE along the priority point lines (read the email), instead of making you pay, you'd just have to log in at your time slot and select 1 or 2 tickets. Just as "fair" and without the bad taste of charging your fan base for a game that should have already been included
Or, abandon the caste system for one freaking game, and just have this game go on sale to STH at one time.
Awesome. I have been hoping they would do something like this for a long time. When you only get 5,000 at the BC for a no-name, weekday, winter non-conference game, you might as well put it in the Al and have it be packed rather than 5,000 people dispersed amongst 18,000 seats.
I agree, but doesn't Marquette have like 11,000 season ticket holders? You going to cover the revenue from ticket sales? Would only be 200K...
probably about what they are paying Alabama A&M?
Love playing a game in the al. Hate that it's Alabama A&M
What quality of opponent were you expecting for a game at the Al?
Expecting? About this. But was hoping for a mid major that at least had a prayer of being a sub 300 RPI team.Hoping? Would love to see a marquis game at the Al. I know it can't happen because judging on the reaction to missing this game, season ticket holders would throw a fit. But I think the atmosphere would be amazing.
