Curious about two things here...do Scoopers go to the tune-up game?...and do we plan to go to the home games? Life is busy and choosing MU basketball on a weeknight or weekend sometimes is tough.

I intend to run another poll at seasons end asking the same question in hindsight. Just curious.

I want to go to a bunch...will see if I make it.

You'll get some skewed answers. If I lived within 100 miles I'd probably go to all of them. I will probably only make it back for 2 or 3.

IDK if we've ever had 'perfect' attendance but we usually get pretty close. And we're going to Carroll primarily because we want to experience the new digs.

That's legit...Its about intentions vs actual.

So for example, if there is an MU fan in CA that intends to go to 1 while here for a wedding, say...but maybe we make a run and he makes an effort and gets to 3...that's an interesting data point.

maybe it won't go anywhere...just curious. Thanks.

Season tickets for first time in quite awhile and expect to attend 10-12, depending on my travel schedule. With three grown sons in town, I would assume are seats will be close to 100% attendance this year.

Hope to make NMD game if class of '83 can get tickets. Takes me about 9 hours traveling and cost of plane tix (use apple wallet

for tix) + hotel.

Same.

I always have perfect attendance.

Would probably be around 4 or 5 but it's a difficult flight and I gotta keep my money to by those final four tickets when we go this year

going to try to make a game over christmas break

BM1090 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2018, 02:47:36 PM »

I should be at all but Carroll (not skipping a grad class for an exhibition) and Bethune-Cookman (will be in Vegas)

MomofMUltiples · « **Reply #10 on:** October 24, 2018, 03:42:03 PM »

Does the Final Four count as a home game? Because that's the only one I will make without travel and lodging expense.

(P.S. - I have TWO guest bedrooms!)

Wife wants to go to Florida during 1-2 home games, so probably miss at least those.

MU Fan in Connecticut · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2018, 04:02:03 PM »

I'll make at least one game on my coast, away game for the team but a home team for me!

JakeBarnes · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2018, 04:05:18 PM »

5 games, plus the "home game" @DePaul. Plus probably the women's game @DePaul as well as it is down the street.

swoopem · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2018, 04:08:35 PM »

I live in Detroit so I’m only going to 4:

Wisco
Seton Hall
Nova
G’town

I’m also going to at Xavier and then hopefully Columbus for the tournament

Brew, ya gotta plan AROUND MU games. Chick and I had two weeks tentatively picked out for a January vaca when plane tickets were on sale. Booked tix on points (cancelable w/o penalty) for both weeks. Hoops schedule come out....

One week 2 home games. Second week no home games.

Done.

Same here. It's about 4 1/2 hours each way.

For me, it's plausible that I could more easily get to several NCAA tournament games. One of the opening sites is Des Moines (3 hours), and the FF is in MPLS (1 1/2 hours). And I have a daughter who lives within walking distance of the stadium in MPLS, so free digs!

I usually attend the Seton Hall game here in Jersey. It's on my bucket list to attend a game in Milwaukee. Perhaps next season despite the cold Milwaukee winters.

Blame the daughter, my wife wants to coordinate the vacation with her birthday.

Can't believe you didn't include "Brew is allowed to attend all MU home games" in the prenup........

TheyWereCones · « **Reply #22 on:** October 24, 2018, 09:47:10 PM »

I'm flying in from Arizona for the opener. Gotta check out this new arena and see this team in action. 5th row, $100 on StubHub. I can't wait!

LloydsLegs · « **Reply #23 on:** October 24, 2018, 09:57:45 PM »

6 in milwaukee plus DePaul and Nova away.

Kudos to BPB for saving $$ for FF!

naginiF · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2018, 10:02:28 PM »

Also flying in, but from KC. Gave my oldest his choice of games for his 12th birthday - MU vs KU in Brooklyn, MU vs KState in Milwaukee, or any Vikings game home or away. he chose KState.
