Kolek planning to go pro
Mr and a couple alumni will be there. Though my tickets actually have a seat number so I don't know if they have a student section because there may not be enough.
If we do not sell the Al out it will be an embarrassment.
Should be an entertaining game in that setting, but refresh my memory - why is the game there? Will this not hurt our attendance numbers/standing?
Cirque du Soleil has the BC booked. They had a waiver from the NCAA not to count it in the official numbers.
They should do all the non-con buy games during winter break at the AL. I mean how many people are going to be at the BC for North Dakota and Morgan State?
As a season ticket holder, who has not missed a game this year, I am just taking this one off. Buying a ticket for a random opponent on top of all the games I already go too is not that enticing. I think that is part of the problem getting full sellout as I am not the only one with this view.
Yep, that's my thinking too. I've been to the Al to watch many Fish Fry scrimmages .. it's interesting, sure. Would like to see a whole 40 game there, with a packed crowd. But no thanks.I'm half irked the game wasn't included in the SEASON ticket package, and half pleased that I can decide not to spend $80 on the umpteenth cupcake I've had to eat over the past decade.
Those games should be at the AL, tickets should be $15 for the public and $5 for students with a presale only for students.
Topper, you're smarter than that. The Al holds 3,700 folks. MU's season ticket base exceeds 12,000. So you include it exactly how? While I agree that MU Athletics made a mistake in retrospect by limiting season ticket holders to two seats initially, I'm growing fatigued by the lame excuses folks are coming up with for not going. There are now multiple ways to make this roughly the cost of going to a movie. And for the students in the MKE area, you can go for free.
Given MU practices in the AL, it should be their best played game. There has to be a greater team comfort level at the AL than BMO Harris. The home court advantage must be at least 10 points, if the home court advantage at BMO Harris is 4.
The attendance is going to suck for those games. Embarrassingly so.Wisconsinites have repeatedly shown little desire to attend a "late" game that tips at 8 PM local time on a weeknight, even if a worthwhile opponent is in the house. So I'd expect around 6-8,000 real people for NoDak. Regarding Morgan, no shot anyone is there. Same time as a Packers game where they may lose the division title on last day of regular season? I'd peg it at 4-6,000 real people.
They should have done this at the time of the season ticket invoice. By that I mean, when we were initially invoiced ask people to check if they are interested in adding the "game at the AL" and note that not all orders would not be granted. Then for those with priority, that wanted tickets, the cost just gets added to the overall invoice and most of us just go about our day.At this point I personally would rather put $80 towards the start of a decent dinner than go to another MU game. I'm not saying in any way that others shouldn't feel completely the opposite, it is just the idea of going to the wallet vs. it all being taken at the start of the year.
The packers game better get flexed to 3:20 or SNF, or else I could see it at even less than that.
