Wondering what we can expect for a turnout on Friday night given holiday break for the students. Obviously a huge, huge game and would be great if we could get that Saturday afternoon atmosphere but I'm pretty skeptical. I will be there!
-
It's part of the Wisconsin mini plan. Also, I can't find a link but at the game last night you can buy a student section ticket for $10. If people who have a ticket shows up, there can be a big crowd. With the game being played on a Friday, will help the cause for making people show up.
-
Atmosphere will be more subdued without the students, but I'd expect a crowd in the 14k range.

I think the atmosphere will be pretty good. Sort of like the Xavier game over break in December after Christmas.

Buffalo "sounds" like a cupcake and I bet 80% of fans don't know they are ranked.
It's a Friday during December, holiday parties are planned. Students gone. Too many people with Arby's coupons that expire on Friday. I will predict a pretty light crowd. 13k announced, 7k butts in seats.

Lots of us traveling on that Friday. Frustrating as I was really looking forward to going. Be extra loud those who do!

Trying to think what being part of the UW pack will mean for attendance. Will it reduce it due to all the Badger fans that bought the pack for the UW game? Did they resell the tickets to MU fans? On the other hand, the ratio was pretty good of MU to UW.

Agreed. Just like the Belmont game a few seasons back... not only was it a lid-lifter, but at the time it was the least cakey of the buy* games MU had seen in a while (result notwithstanding), and the crowd was underwhelming at best.
*Technically not a buy game, but using "buy" in the context of "not a home-and-home or conference vs. conference match-up."
-
Wish like heck I could go.
I hope whoever shows up is loud and proud!!
-
We will be in attendance, but talking with a few folks last night that zero idea Buffalo has a good team. Would not expect many walk ups for the game. Hope I am wrong. Energized crowd on Friday would go a long way.
-
Will be there. Expecting ~10K butts in seats, which would be a near-sellout at the future Town Bank Ar...never mind.
-
If you're a season ticket holder you get free additional tickets to one non-conference game, including Buffalo. If you haven't used those yet you should invite some others and get them in the arena!
-

80% is harsh. I think you are conflating MU fans and ND fans.

We’ve got a group of 21 from out of state. #Rowdy

Mrs. KampusFoods and I will be there as part of the UW 5-game mini plan. Expecting a good but not great turnout.

Well, it means most pairs in the lower are sold. Best way for people to be in the lower bowl is "Be the Student Plan" I think most Badger mini plans are bought by MU fans. At least the higher price seats. Those that want to resell on stubhub or whatever I would think would sell for a fair price to get some money back from their plan.
-
It will be seen as a fun holiday event and I expect most of the season ticket holders actually show up. I think a fair amount take advantage of the comp ticket if they haven’t used it.
-

Nh?
I think we’ll see a healthy crowd.

If we have a basketball educated fan base as we and others claim, they will know this Buffalo team is very good.
They beat Arizona in the NCAA tournament last year, #14 this year with wins at West Virginia and Syracuse. The next three days the PR folks should be pushing that aspect hard for those that aren’t so up to speed.

Exactly. It would be embarrassing if the reason an MU fan didn’t attend the game was because “they weren’t aware Buffalo was any good.” The crowd may be affected by travel/holiday plans, etc but the quality of the opponent should only help increase attendance.
It’s a huge game for our team. One I’m very excited for.

I think MU is already with the tweet about the Top 20 match up for this Friday.

There were video billboards for the Buffalo game on the interstates last night.

How about instead.. we could talk about the Buffalo @ MU game crowd.

I hope there is a good one. I will be watching it between alarms.

[WARNING: My sincerest apologies, but the holiday cheer has me reluctantly looking for the silver lining - or even an aluminum foil lining - in things this afternoon. My mind is so internally conflicted that I'm actually starting to feel like Ebenezer Scrooge was Dickens' Walter White.]
I hope there is a good one. I will be watching it between alarms.
If someone were to compile a list of all the "nh's" on this site, "Wojo having a bit of Crean in him" might actually be the most humorous. But it's still an "nh" joke, so probably doesn't matter any way.
[Must.... fight..... jolly.... holly.... feelings.... ]
Unfortunately, nobody would be complaining if a duet of Wojo and Crean sang Baby It's Cold Outside.
Oh my God.... I feel so much better now. Who needs an exorcist when there's Scoop.
-
For what it's worth, I just my extra tickets. And they're nose bleeds behind the basket. If those bad seats are selling, maybe there's more interest than we think?

Ya I don’t think the crowd will be as bad as people are guessing. I mean even Goose is going. And he only goes to games with good crowds and good atmospheres. ;)
But a quick view is stubhub shows there are not a ton of seats available

Seems like about 40 listings on the ticketmaster re-sale site. Some good deals, others some asking for too much.

I agree, but the general student population isn't as knowledgeable. They need the enticement and transportation.

Very interesting that a Bucks boardcast on TV and radio is talking up an upcoming MU home game. I didn't see it, as I don't watch the NBA. Someone brought this up to me this morning.

Can anyone summarize what he said?
That's great--you've got a lot of basketball fans tuning in to the Bucks these days, great to plug that MU has a great team and a great top 20 showdown on a Friday night. The NBA crowd is more used to prime time weekend games, so maybe you pull some in--only shame is that the Bucks are playing Boston at the same time.

I assume it has something to do with the fact that now the same company that owns 620 WTMJ radio owns 94.5 ESPN radio. They are cross promoting - where as in the past, when 620 was the Badger flagship - you rarely even heard a mention on 620 that MU even had a D1 basketball team.

Very basic interview, talked about how its a big game on Friday and the big win over Wisconsin. Also about how much they like playing in the new arena

FS-Wisconsin also runs Wojo's TV show "Inside Marquette Basketball", so they're promoting that too.

Think you're wrong topper. They are pushing it big time here in the midwest. I'd actually predict a pretty good turnout.
-
Here is one, why would MU schedule anyone but schools with RPIs over 250 for home games during the xmas break? Makes no sense.
Play Buffalo during late nivember early december ncream puffs without the students.
Clearly more to it than that but buy games we should be setting the agenda. Anyone should have known this would have been a tougher game, maybe not 14 but definitely top 75.
Hopefully it is all a moot point u would hope between mu being ranked and playing a ranked opponent it will take care of itself, yet the students always add to the homecourt much more so than the sweater vests who seemingly stand at the beginning and then again at halftime and then to leave.

Because it takes two to tango and this was a mutually acceptable date.

I don't think it's that at all, because that has nothing to do with Bucks boardcasts on FS Wisconsin. I bet it more has to do with the Bucks running Fiserv Forum.

That's because Spectrum Sports is closing shop.

I think MU is pulling out all the stops to get a good crowd there. Smart on them.
-
Steve Novak gave a little dig to Katie George after the interview, asking if she told Wojo that she's from U of Louisville.
FS-Wisconsin is doing the MU Basketball show and it looks like they may have done all the player interviews on the same date. Because the players microphone has next to no audio for the first 4 shows.
Maybe next year check the mic before doing a seasons worth of interviews.
-

Thx captain obvious,
My whole point is Broeker n MU need to do a better job then. Its a job poorly done to play a team that is coming off an ncaa tournament win over Arizona and returns their team intact during the break. Its not a home and away, either, its a buy game which means we shoukd be dictating when the game is played not them. Clearly we agreed to it and we should do better on setting up our schedule. U absolutely want the more difficult games in front of tge students n we hold all the cards, i guess Broeker folded, wouldnt be the first time.

Here is the thing. What do you think?
Unlike the Bradley Center which was run by the BC board, the Bucks run Fiserv Forum. So, on the tiny parts I have watched of Bucks games on TV. The Bucks are promoting the concerts that are coming up at Fiserv Forum and how to get your tickets. Now, MU gets 0% out of concession as it was the case in the Bradley Center. Yet, it's in the Bucks interest for Marquette fan to show up and buy tickets as the fee's goes to Bucks and concession, parking, etc goes to the Bucks.
**I see 4 Bucky fans are letting their feelings toward MU on that tweet.**

I think the other way to look at it is the game is a holiday event for a lot of families. I can remember several years back in the Buzz era going to a home game against Green Bay after the students left and there was a very good crowd of families etc. Was a fun time.
I used to be in the giving Broeker a hard time camp, but the more I studied his work, I actually think he does as good a job as he can given the variables he has to work with.. The coaches also have a lot of input on what the schedule should be. They can request a harder or easier schedule depending on how they feel the team is doing.

Don't agree with your point. The game is fine. Good spacing between the tougher games and the cupcakes. Enjoy the game.

Mr. N's correct. Bucks keep the concession revenue. This is simply good business on the Bucks, that happens to have a collateral benefit to MU. MU has nothing to do with it.

If MU had the power, they would have been doing this years ago.
Casual fan lives on the rankings. This is a Top 20 match up that falls on a Friday night. Bucks are helping to get the word out to get the $$$$.

November 17 was 3 days after Indiana trounced us. November 24 was the day after the Louisville game. Dec 1 was against Kansas State.
What day are you scheduling Buffalo?

Not only that, but Buffalo had a home game Nov 24 & their exempt tourney final Dec 1.
November 17 was really the only other date, but we were likely holding that expecting the NIT to give us an opponent for that date. The only other open slot would've been during finals week.
-
OMG, the Bucks twittered about the game?
I'm upping my original prediction by TWO dozen.
-
Crowd will be disappointing. Under 10,000 butts in seats. Students are on break and Buffalo is not a big name, despite the ranking. Announced attendance will be much higher as this was part of the UW 5 game mini plan, but there will be lots of empty chairs.
Oh well, as long as we win. Go Marquette.

Arby's will be there.

Well, the "Be the Student Package" maxed out. That explain's why singles are not being sold for the Buffalo game. Also, looking at for the first time today on ticketmaster, the seats that were available on Wednesday are now gone today. This really might be a huge crowd on Friday. Also, the first 5,000 fans get a glow in the dark MU t-shirt.
-
It’s going to be a large crowd for sure.
I’ll throw $100 on any bet if anyone thinks it’ll be 10,000 or less.
I know a lot of people going and I also have family members that specifically requested this game. A Friday night game with nothing going on Saturday. No work... holiday weekend after.
$100. Let me know Coleman.

If the ticketmaster site is correct. Looks to be about 500 ticket left. If people do show up, we should have a Kansas State type crowd. Friday night. Top 20 match up. If you have a ticket, why wouldn't someone not show up?
-
Besides my regular 6 seats I had ordered an additional 6 with the “1 per season ticket promo”.
All 12 will have attendees. Lots of negative folks on this board gripe about attendance but I bet not many go out of their way to bring friends. Maybe they don’t have any.
-

10K+. I have no doubts. However, who makes the determination? Because announced/official attendance is a lock to be well north of 13K, but that's not butts in seats.

Bucks were promoting in game last night as a top 20 match-up. Betting the crowd is at least KSU sized. Know lots of casual fans going

Nice to hear. In the 40 + yrs ive been going to mu games, a good ranked opponent has pretty much always been responded to with big good crowds. Lets hope its loud too and can help carry MU over the top. I havent been to fiserv yet but all reports i have personally received have said its great and finally brings back a significant home court advantage that we lost at tge bradley center

MU opens as a 2 point favorite

Watching the Texas Tech - Duke game on ESPN.
Jimmy Butler was in the crowd, and when they showed a closeup of him, Dickie V said, "His team, Marquette, has a big game tomorrow against Buffalo."
The hype is growing.

I agree, but the general student population isn't as knowledgeable. They need the enticement and transportation.
My kid walks to the games with his homies. They have been quite visible in the UW and K State games on tv cheering on the warriors in the first few rows. But now that Xmas break is in swing, we will be watching together tomorrow night from California.
One of the employees in my group played at U of Buffalo in football and soccer. We have been having fun talking up the game the last few weeks. Hope it works out same way for the UW-Madison employee in my group (nice guy), and MU gets another win.
-
I'll be at the game tonight with my son. My son has Bucks season tickets and he said that at Wednesday night's Bucks game, the Bucks really hyped up this MU-Buffalo game. Ads for the game were on every Fiserv TV, they kept mentioning it at timeouts and gave out some tickets as prizes. Good to see the Bucks supporting Marquette.
-
Wonder if the bucks get a percentage of tickets sold or if it's due to potential concession sales then that'd be good enough incentive to market MU games

They get $3 per ticket plus all of the concessions and with the margin on an $11 16oz Miller Lite, that is a lot of incentive
-
Our family of four going (using the free non con game). Others using our season tickets and yet others using our mini pack tickets. Should be a good crowd.

Stubhub down to 90 total tickets for the game. Looking for a real solid turnout.

I might be saying it different. Bucks get nothing off of the Marquette tickets. Bucks do get the Arena Ticket Fee charge.
-

Actually looking at how many tickets are left. It's close to a sell-out.
About 50 left on the re-sell ticketmaster site.
About 300 left on ticketmaster via the Marquette site.
About 90 left on Stub-Hub.
-
It definitely feels like this game might be the perfect storm, attendance-wise - two ranked teams on an upswing, on a Friday night leading up to a big holiday weekend. Probably a whole lot of casual fans (of MU or basketball in general) wanting to check out the FF for the first time, hopefully see a good game, and kick off their holidays with something other than avoiding their awkward relatives.

The student section maxed out on single for the Buffalo game. Some tickets are going to MPS kids. Also, they have to keep spots open as students who have season tickets who will come.

I didn't know the be a student thing maxed out. In that case I change my expectation of it being woefully empty to low energy. Not that I don't believe in the alumni and MPS kids but outside of recent grads how many are going to have the energy to act like a legit college student section?
-
Plenty of energy at Bucks games without students

Ya, I wrote it yesterday. I'm not sure what maxed out means in terms of numbers.
In terms of energy in the building. Were you at the Xavier game last year? Remember what Chris Mack said in the FS1 postgame?

I've been to many Marquette games during breaks where there was plenty of energy.

I was not. And I do not.

I put the link before your post. Tough 91-87 loss to #6 Xavier. Student section was half way full in the upper deck. Lower deck of the student section was pack. Which would mean 2,300 were in the student section by the numbers. Great energy in the Bradley Center. Attendance- 15,095. I was surprised that the paid attendance was that low, because it did seem like 14-15k was in the building.

Rough night last night; hopping on a plane now with low energy, but I will rally once I touch down in Milwaukee
-

Agreed however how many of those at bucks games are between tge ages of 60-80?? Unfortunately at MU games between the end lines about the only time u get anyone to stand up and cheer is in a tight game with less then 5 minutes left. And then only maybe at that. MU has good attendance relative to other colleges but the fans are horribly subdued relative to other college crowds. Fiserv will make it better than the Bradley which had the homecourt advantage of a funeral home
-
If that happens, they should definitely go to the cheap seats and ask people wearing Marquette gear if they want to move down.
A similar thing has happened to us at Las Vegas shows. We tend to dress up when we go out, and the showroom managers like the front to be full. I've seen some good shows from the first few rows because of this.
-
How has the noise level been at the MU games? I feel the new arena is more full for Bucks games but the high-end noise level is a lot less than the BC due to the open concourse in the former and the concrete block that reflected the noise in the later.

Ugh that game pissed me off. So glad we're done with Macura and Blueitt.

MU posted on FB that they expect a “capacity crowd” tonight
-
Going off all the ticket sites. The game is almost sold out.
-
Leaving Chicago now! Let’s Go Marquette!

So you'll get to Fiserv at like 9 PM?

Shocking. Student section is 100% sold out. They had to stop the be a student package for this game.
It's going to be a very large crowd. Marquette exchange, sold out. Seatgeek, Sold out. Ticketmaster, 4 tickets. Around 25 tickets on Stubhub.
-
"Be the Student" and some MPS kids got student tickets. Plus, MU has to hold student seats open for students who we hope show up to the game.
-There is some singles left and a pair or so on the re-sale site. Crowd should be on fire tonight!

I think only the one guy selling 2 lowers is left now. I scored 2 extras from a coworker who has 4 seasons.

Not possible.

Wheres the guy that bet 100 bucks that there would be under 10k in the seats

I was willing to bet a guy $100 that said there would be less than 10k. Because I knew it would be atleast 13k.

And FWIW the Bars are jam packed and a lot of blue and gold.

It will be Rocking tonight!!!

From my seats...near sellout.

Awesome! Now let's go win this sucker!!!

Buddy said it’s as crowded as K State, nearly as WI
-
That's accurate. They do have the tarps in one of the student sections. Other is full. 200s nearly full.
-
Tarp is gone tarp it's all filled up
-
Tarps are now off the student section. It's filled!

Have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised/impressed

Sure did.

They get $3 per ticket plus all of the concessions and with the margin on an $11 16oz Miller Lite, that is a lot of incentive
24oz Miller lite!!!

Great showing by the crowd tonight. Sounded incredible on TV.
-
Yep, I was entirely wrong with my 10k guess. It was 95% full. Great crowd.
Interesting note .. A friend of mine works security at the FF .. he told me that they'd sent 20 security people home this afternoon, as the attendance estimate was 7,500 people, showed the memo to prove the figure. Said "there were tons of tickets sold this afternoon."
I told him it sounded like a good night to storm the court.
Whoever made that estimate was dumb. I also don't believe thousands of tickets were sold this afternoon. Probably some miscommunication there.
-
Tonight is why Goose only goes to good games with great crowds. Great win, fun time and what college ball is all about.
Job well done by the fella’s.
-
Paid Attendance- 17,567 (Higher number than the Badger Game)

Well, there facts were off. As I was saying here on Thursday that it was going to be over 17k as the tickets were being sold.

Every game is a good game when the alma mater is ranked, entertaining and playing well. If I lived anywhere near Milwaukee, only a death in the family would keep me away from Fiserv this season.
But sure, games like this are especially good.

That can’t be right. According to the Badger message boards the Wisconsin game is the only time Marquette fills the place.

I think your friend was full of it. No way that was remotely what happened. There was a very large pre sale

I go onto it with some @$$-clown BADger commenter on the recent The Athletic interview with Wojo. The dude was a complete jag and claimed that the Becky game was the only one we pack the house for. Love the paranoia starting to emanate from Madison.

Although we’ll never truly know how it would have been in another year, it is great that the debut year for FF is also the best the team has been under Wojo—brings the crowds out and keeps em pumped up. Hope we can (re)establish a strong home presence!

Never said we wouldnt have a good crowd attendance wise. In fact i said over my 40 years mu fans usually responded very well to a ranked mu team n aranked opponent. only questioned whether we coukd have an electric atmodphere with out the students. And im glad to see that we were

Probably the best crowd of the year. Students may be overrated in making a difference when it comes to the atmosphere. Fans like to see exciting play and tonight they got it.
Funny that MU packs the place for a buy game in late December when students are on break. Especially after the talk that MU belongs in a 10k seat arena and the only time they could draw any more fans than that is when the big bad badgers come to town.
-
I have never said that MU "belongs" in a 10,000-seat arena. What I have said is that such an on-campus arena would make for an incredible atmosphere game-in and game-out. And when we play the biggest games, we could still play at a bigger place.
I mean, does Duke "belong" in a 9,314-seat arena?
-

Don’t get me wrong, the crowd tonight was fantastic, but it didn’t compare to the Wisconsin game having the students with a few hours of drinking under their belts.

Accurate. And there wasn't the same visceral hatred for Buffalo fueling it on. But a great building tonight. Super fun.

Jimmy Mac was a very happy camper at the game today. Love to see him yelling and cheering on thr highlights.
-

Yeah, it was a bit of hyperbole when comparing it to the badger crowd. The momentum from that win carried over into this game which also didn’t hurt. The games have been really fun this year. Can’t wait for conference play.
-
Agrred i said that was retarded to whomever was saying 10-12. Titally hypothetical byt if mu ever built, 15 k minimum
Yeah, no. And please don't use retarded. That word was phased out of civil conversation like 10 years ago.
-
There is definitely excitement building around the team and it showed with the crowd last night. This is a team that likely has no true favorite player to the fans, which is a good thing. It shows that it is not about one or two players, but rather, a team. Winning is the best sales tool for a program. Again, hat’s off to the program for creating some juice in the arena, and on the streets after the game. This is what game day is supposed to look like.
-
Regarding attendance: Should be noted that season ticket holders were awarded free tickets to one non-conference game (excluding Wisconsin and K-State games). So. If you purchased 2 tickets as a season ticket holder, you were comped 2 tickets to the game of your choosing. I chose this game as it was clearly the best of the non-con slate - Friday night game too. (Sold all 4 on Stub Hub.)

I think your use of the word retarded is unfortunate. However since you can’t seem to write a sentence free of grammatical and/or spelling errors, it gives me delicious irony that warms me up on a cold day.
-

Unfortunately not. Had to attend a Christmas party. (And then my DVR didn't record game.)
Getting to games is a flight for me. I can only get to about 4 games per year, but bought the season ticket package to support program/get priority access to good seats for marquee games.

You didn't really miss much, though I heard that one Marquette player had a very good second half.
-
Regarding the students, my son made the trip up from the NW burbs with a couple of other MU buddies. They are frosh and pumped up about the team, students getting excited about the team. I think the Forum is going be a tough place to play. Students on board, alum on board. Ring Out Ahoya, B-East here we come!

Interesting. I think capacity of the Giant Taco is listed at 17,500. Somebody dropped the leading "1".

My friends, I believe we officially turned the corner regarding crowd enthusiasm. From Buckyville:
I know this is a biased sample size but I'm impressed with Marquettes crowd between our game and this Buffalo game. It's not just the students, the entire crowd is into it. Energy level is great.
Kohl is great but if one thing goes bad the alumni are back into their seats with their lips shut
Also:
We should hire away their DJ.
