I pulled the relevant quotes out of an IrishIllustated.com article (http://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1478082 (http://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1478082))...
"It's the toughest," said Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey of Saturday's venue - the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee - where the Irish will take on No. 22 Marquette (20-7, 11-4). "Let me say this. There's not a tougher place for us.
"They do such a great job at their place of presenting their game. There's certainly some added juice when we come to town. They just don't like us very much. They wait for us to come to town."
But for Notre Dame's money, the Bradley Center is the most harrowing Big East experience. The last time the Irish were there - Jan. 10, 2011 -- Marquette mauled them, 79-57.
"I remember it as one of the louder places I've been," said Irish point guard Eric Atkins who, as a freshman, scored 15 points in 35 minutes of action at the Bradley Center.
"They have a bunch of signs behind the basket. They do a good job with the crowd being a distraction, and then as a team, they get after it defensively."
"Their crowd is great and they have one of the best student sections I've seen," Grant recalled. "They were hitting shots and we didn't adjust to it. You have to go in there and be able to keep your poise when they're making shots. Just keep playing defense."
Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder are gone, as is their combined 36 points per game. But the Golden Eagles are still pressuring the basketball and making life a living hell for visitors to the Bradley Center.
Four of Marquette's home victories have been by double digits, including a 79-69 win over Pittsburgh on Feb. 16. The close ones have gone the Golden Eagles' way as well. They claimed a 74-71 victory over Syracuse Monday and handed Georgetown one of its three Big East losses, 49-48, during the first week of January.

Clearly they don't read this board!
When they show up, I think our student section is as good as anyplace else, and possibly one of the best. Having a wall of 4,000 students stretching all the way from the floor to the roof is really impressive. The problem is that there's only a few games a year where they all show up, but that isn't unique to MU.
We obviously get more juiced for ND, but I can't imagine any student section being better than ours on Sat.

I don't think anyone really thinks the student section is terrible, it's just not great when the upper bowl is dead empty. Sure, it's a great section when Notre Dame and Syracuse come to town. Not so great after that. Always been that way, always will be.
Brey is kissin' a$$ so they can park it in the new BEast next year.

Do any of the Big East schools have student sections like some of the ACC and Big Ten schools that run directly alongside the court? All the ones I can think of are like ours, which are built from one corner upwards.
IMO, (as discussed often before) that'd be the one major change that would make our student section much more intimidating. But if all the Big East student sections are like ours, then I'd probably agree that we must be one of the toughest in the conference (when the students show up).

Having the students alongside the court would mean kicking major donors out of those seats. Not gonna happen. And it shouldn't happen.

We have given 5 figures to Marquette a couple times. Geography has prevented us from going to games, much less hold season tickets I would gladly let the students have seats alongside the court. Last time I checked, the students are the university. I know my wife, who was a cheerleader there, would agree with that sentiment.

I don't necessarily disagree with you--there are understandable reasons to keep things the way they are.
I was just suggesting that'd be the one way to make the student section even more impactful (irrespective of other consequences).

What constitutes a "Major Donor" and how many of them are there? In an 18M seat arena I can't believe Major Donors take up all the sideline seats.
We have given Marquette more than $50
MK. My wife had corporate matching at Microsoft and the Gates Foundation so that added another $30
MK. Does that make us a major donor?
I am all in favor of getting the kids out of the end zone and putting them along the court. I think repositioning the kids in a better tactical position is a great force multiplier for Marquette. At the end of the day, the current students are the university.

Seats directly alongside the court are much more valuable to schools located in metropolitan areas that can draw more post graduate fans. There's lees opportunity cost involved in seating student alongside the court in arenas located in college towns hours away from cities.

If you mean "M" for million, then yes, you'd be a major donor. If you mean M as the Roman Numeral for 1,000, no one uses that any longer, but rather "K" as in $50K for $50,000, and no, you would not be a
major donor at that level. But I'm certain the University sent you multiple thank you letters.
Marquette has won 25 games in a row at the Bradley Center. The seating situation seems just fine...although I'd personally like to see my seats moved to the sidelines in one of the first few rows.

M as 000 which is still used in Strat Planning at PepsiCo, GE Capital, and T Mobile. I think it may be a Finance convention.
In any event, we wrote some checks over the years without any expectation other than keeping it from Uncle Sam. My wife's employers had some matching programs too so Marquette got that incremental benefit. But we never gave money looking for tickets or any other form of kick back. Nor was our giving to support the athletic department. I actually don't recall getting anything back but that's likely due to the chaff in one's life obscuring thank you letters. We have given to our grad alma maters and I got a license plate holder from Michigan and a coffee mug from HBS. I know my wife had a lot of stuff from Columbia and I think some of that she got for gifts.
So if the bar for Major Donor is measured in the millions then Marquette's endowment must be much larger than what is reported as there are thousands of seats along both sides of the court at the BC. I get rewarding giving with preferential seating but what is that threshold?

If I had $50MM I doubt I would be giving it to Marquette. I would buy an Islay distillery and a walk in humidor. I would likely get a new driver as mine doesn't seem to work right. And a Hickory Stick putter.

I said putting the kids along the lines would displace major donors. I did not say that all of the people who currently sit there are major donors.
People got those primo seats because they had priority according to the "points system". You earn points in a variety of ways, including having degree(s) from Marquette, donations, and holding season tickets for a consecutive number of years.
I suppose I used shorthand in my original comment; but suffice it to say that the University isn't going to move back hundreds of long-term, loyal fans who have sat in those seats for a number of years so that some obnoxious drunken freshmen can sit there instead.
Besides, I think the shape of the current section is more of a monolithic, intimidating presence.

My tenure was that we sat in the end zone of the Arena. I never cared as it was fun just going to the games. Back then we were always ranked in the Top 10.
I have wondered about the thinking behind giving the kids the sh1tty seats. At Michigan Stadium the student seats are in the end zone but at Crisler and Yost the students wrap alongside the court/ice. In fact, I think that at Yost it's carnival seating meaning first come, first served. I know Harvard hockey is the same.
I have given in the past without any expectation of anything. Isn't the point of giving just that? Seems that giving with the expectation of getting is more like purchasing.

You are sort of correct. The very best primo seats are obtained regardless of the point system. Take the court side seats, for example. You don't have to have any points if you are willing to drop $5,000 per seat as a donation to the Blue and Gold Fund, plus the cost of the season tickets. Same for the first three rows of seats behind the media table, only those go for $3,000/seat (I think). And those folks don't have to participate in the semi-annual seat relocation requiring the point system that you described, as long as they continue to pony up for the seat license. And I have zero problem with that.

I never saw K where I worked. The convention was always M. I was involved with GE's Unit Trust company in Japan and we used the M convention in all correspondence. We had a hedging operation to cover Forex risk for Japanese shareholders where we took Yen-denominated forward positions every hour, 24 hours a day, through our Treasury operations in Singapore, London, and NY and GE Treasury also used the M convention.
My last corporate work was in Corp Strat at T Mobile and our corporate masters in Bonn used the M. Within T Mobile Seattle the Finance teams used M while the marketing folks used K. We had a slide listing device sales expressed with the M and the brand managers sh1t, thinking they were on the hook for millions vice thousands of units sold.

At Georgetown the students sit behind the basket on both ends. They don't have very big crowds at GU games except against Syracuse, UConn, and some other big non-conference game, so its not like they are displacing a lot of people in the lower bowl by using those seats.
I would love to see MU move the students down to the lower bowl - either behind both nets or fully wrapping them around the one net by the opposing bench.

OK, die hard Warrior here who would die for the lower bowl. Ain't gonna happen because I don't live in Milwaukee and my seats are a "five-pack" rather than season tickets.
Reality is that the lower bowl is for the university, its benefactors and for long-time season ticket holders. Leave the students where they are -- unless they want to pony up $5,000 more. The scholarships and goodwill those lower bowl seats generate are worth their weight in gold -- gold that helps make sure those students go to Marquette and can afford it.

Every lower level ticket says $37.50 regardless if you are in Sec 200 Row G or 211 Row Z. There is an amount of $ that is 'requested' in order to buy that $38.
In other words, the price on the ticket may look the same, but they ain't the same.

I wasn't debating that. The original question was how much tickets were on top of the big donation.

When do they give away gold shirts to anyone but the students? I wasn't aware of that.....
LW - Please, GOLD OUTS EVERY GAME!! DON'T EVEN LET PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING WITHOUT GOLD.
(And yeah, they've done the student-only gold t-shirt giveaway before. Although IIRC, it's more of a "first 2000 people in the building get a shirt" .. since the students are always early, they get all the shirts..)
Sorry - just meant when the cheerleaders do their casual tosses to the lower bowl who are seated and yawning. It's FREE STUFF! We'd go all WWF for a free tee shirt! :D

Uhh .. MU has used a t-shirt gun for many years, about that size.

This one shoots 100 t-shirts in 60 seconds. AND it's made in New Berlin. Who knows? Maybe that company is run by an alum and can give us a deal.....
That's what we have. This article is about the Bucks, but we use the same one.

If that's the case, then they need to get an even bigger one, because it's still not reaching the upper deck. And I don't think they are fully loading it. No way is 100 t-shirts coming out of that thing at Marquette games. They are cheating by using little basketballs.
And move the launch site for the little parachutes further away from the center of the arena....

As someone who has caught 5 pairs of sunglasses this year, I like the placement of the parachutes. :)
The guy behind me asked if I was going to open a kiosk at Mayfair.
