to watch a Marquette home game and if so how many standing room only seats were sold and what was the actual attendance?
-
Doesn't seem possible but that's what the moron announcer said
-
Probably the largest crowd at Fiserv Forum. Hard to believe it eclipsed the largest BC crowds.
-
At Fiserv yes. All-time with the Bradley Center? No.
-
I thought there were some games at the Bradley Center that had nearly 20k.

Tim Brando was just reading in what he was told.

Bradley Center capacity was 18,717. MU's record is a touch over 19k.
-
The Top 10 attended games at the Bradley Center are all over 19,000.
Today was 17,856.
-
Capacity at Fiserv Forum is 17,341.
-
So how is it possible then, if capacity = X, to have attendance of greater than X?

Standing room only at Fiserv Forum.
Not sure about Marquette's numbers at the BC. Bucks always had a capped number.

I guarantee Tim Brando twisted the message. Somehow he has seen and announced hundreds (maybe thousands) of games. Yet, each game he finds a way to make it seem as if he is watching basketball for the first time. I'd rather listen to Dickie Simpkins than Tim Brando.

At the end of the game in the Markus interview the sideline reporter said largest crowd in this building. I am sure it was just an instance where he didn’t speak perfectly.

Just rewatched the game and at the end Brando says that two years ago Marquette defeated number one Villanova in this building. Someone should tell him it’s a new arena.

I think the saddest part of that is he announced that game...lol

Haha I forgot about that. Him and Raf.

I recommend you stop making outfits out of ladies' flesh and rejoin society.

Say what you will but the Arena was always jammed to the rafters and was one of the greatest snake pits in college ball. That place was ALIVE for Marquette games.
-
It was bizarre but I noticed a ton of empty seats in upper deck all game. Shirts still on seats well into 2nf half, I would assume upper deck was only 80% full.

I think a lot of the upper deck was upstairs. The railing overlooking the Forum from the club was absolutely packed.

That’s a solid point and I saw it was packed as well and thought maybe that was the case. Just funny a bunch of people never went to seats at all or grabbed their shirt.

No. The Badger 5 pack and the NMD 5 pack were separate.

Ok Chief. Maybe it was the UWM fans I saw coming into my row wearing red 10 minutes into the 2nd half. WTF?

Salty.

Perhaps it was. Or perhaps they bought both plans. Or perhaps whatever. I was simply correcting what could have been a misconception that Bucky fans buying a 5 pack for 'their' game might have been folks not attending yesterday by pointing out they were distinctly separate plans. Relax, it's Sunday brother.

I’ll share this here too:
About five minutes into the game, four young men came and sat next to me in 210. They were students. Apparently the student section was full, so the FF gave them whatever other tickets were available.
Students might have done a better job than us adult fans of actually showing up.

There has been rumbling about the student section being at overcapacity. I wonder if the Fiserv security didn't do a good enough job at enforcing the 'STUDENTS ONLY' restriction and thus allowed interlopers to come down from other areas to include any sold SRO tickets. IF that's true that's something MU has to correct. Frankly, there had to be tweaks to the Young Alum section after the Bucky game fiasco up there. And if some a-clowns did that thinking that they were smarter than anyone else, I wish MU could track them down and ban-hammer their arse. Word is some kids were relegated to the Panorama Club.

He knows it's a new building by his comments about the building on Friday. Just a brain cramp.

2 questions.....
1. Did they in fact sell SRO tickets for the game yesterday? The MU ticket office told me that they weren’t selling them.
2. Can you explain or direct me to the thread regarding the young alum Bucky fiasco?
Thanks.
-
The standing room is sold as part of the student season ticket package.
-
As others have stated, it was largest crowd of the new building. It was not close to largest crowd for MU home game. The BC held 18,600 for basketball. Many times during Crean and Buzz MU surpassed capacity in the BC.
-

We have several season ticket packages.
Was there an email I missed or when were SRO tickets sold?

I just assumed that MU sold more student ticket packages than they have seats, assuming that not all of the ticket holders would show.

Sorry if my response was taken as "salty". But who shows up 75% into a game wearing Badgers' colors? My only explanation was they bought the Badger pack. But you pointed out the Nova game wasn't in their pack. Thus the wtf?

Sorry, I typed wrong. Student Season Tickets.

Not sure if there was an actual thread about the Young Alum Bucky fiasco, but here is what happened:
Unlike the student section, the young alum section has actual seat assignments. Many young alum coordinated their ticket purchases so that they could all sit together and made sure they purchased early to get good seats. During the early cupcake games, people sat wherever they wanted, but no one really cared.
At the Bucky game, chick jr. and her friends got to the section and found people sitting in their seats. They refused to move, and the usher assigned to that section said that the young alum section was general seating. Chick jr. eventually found a Fiserv rep who made the people move, and one of the interlopers "accidentally" spilled a full beer on one of her seatmates (a rather expensive act of revenge, but whatever...). No doubt there were many other ticketholders that were denied their proper seats, but perhaps not quite as assertive as my kid.
Afterwards chick jr. sent an email to the ticket office asking them to clarify the seating policy, and soon afterwards, the ticket office sent an email to all of the young alum section ticketholders. It said that while they weren't going to aggressively enforce it at lower-attendance games, that there are indeed assigned seats, and that they would be educating the Fiserv personnel about the policy.

A lot of people who buy the extreme uppers just go to one of the clubs and watch from there. The skyline club was packed all game

Last year at the Bradley center a soccer mom and her 6 children took our entire row of season ticket holders during a December game. Many seats were open but I wanted my front row of course. Soccer mom continued to tell me that the student section was ga and she bought those tickets and thus could sit anywhere. I tried to talk to her for 8 minutes and that she could move up a single row... then I found the usher I referred to as the Gestapo and he removed them very fast.

Thank you for the explanation. Good for Chick jr.
