Old Man Schedule Rant

Think so? Have you seen how much they charge for a beer at the BC?

11$ for a pint at yankee stadium.

I'll take the 8pm starts over the 6pm starts on weekdays TBH. Much easier for me to leave work, get to Milwaukee, have a beer and dinner with my friends and then go to the game.  6pm games mean I have to rush out of work and barely make tip off.

I like 8 better to, much less traffic going on,more relaxed enviroment later at night, just like it.

The BC is a greater bar on a Friday and Saturday night. Though it is mostly bucks games, you get 2 beers for 8 bucks without tipping.

There has to start being more benefits to going to games,especially cupcake games. I don't know what they could do,but they may have to get creative.

Maybe actual cupcakes at the games.

The games will end after 10pm, no different than going to a baseball game that starts at 7pm.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Maybe a brand new arena with lots of amenities and additional entertainment options would do the trick?

Am I missing something? We were 14th in attendance this last year, and we SUCKED.

When have we struggled to fill the seats since Crean took over?

attendance isn't a problem.

I mean, if you want to talk about literally filling every seat...

[We R Final Four]

If MU wants to fill every upper corner seat, they need to schedule ND or Cuse or Louis on a Sat. Night. Then it will fill up.

Selling tickets is one thing. Filling the seats with the sold tickets is another. Over the last few seasns there have been lots of empty seats.

You certainly have a point there.  MU is only competing against itself in that regard.  -- That being said, last year, the entire year we didn't "SUCK," in that, until the last 3 weeks of the season, there was a path to the Dance and people were still engaged in the season.

This year, we're projected to finish 9th in the BE .. and we're generally thought of as a hopeful NIT team.  Unknown coach, few returning starters. 

That doesn't spell disaster, no.  But I wouldn't be surprised to have attendance float downward, butts in seats go down extra.

What you're missing is that tickets are sold based on the previous year's performance coupled with pre-season expectations--not how the in-season performance winds up.

We were 14th last year because we were coming off an Elite Eight, had an outstanding recruiting class, and expectations were sky high.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I think people will be excited to see what a new coach will do with this talent. I think attendance will be about the same as previous seasons.
