Brey calls BC "toughest" place to play

[Sir Lawrence]

Depends where you are along the sidelines. I sat in a big-wig co-workers seats a 5 rows up from Buzz and IIRC the price on the tix was ~$38.

$38 x 18 games = $684/season (plus fees). I assume closer to mid-court is more expensive.

I was referring to the "call for details" section:

She said major donors.

Please stop quoting him--my ignore function does not work when you quote him.  I can't help but almost admire the amount of effort that it must take to create such a d-bag online persona.

Glad to see BeeJay chimed in on the Johnson issue.

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).  

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.

M as 000 which is still used in Strat Planning at PepsiCo, GE Capital, and T Mobile.

Just as 0330 is used by civilians.

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.

All those freebee gold tee shirts going to the high rollers in the lower bowl and nobody ever wears one.  MU's gotta figure out some way to get those tee shirts to the dirty unwashed in the upper bowl...like me!

And LW, please, NO MORE GOLD OUTS!!! THEY DON'T WORK HERE!

When do they give away gold shirts to anyone but the students?  I wasn't aware of that.....

[mu_hilltopper]

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..)

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

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! 

At least the free pizza makes its way up on occasion.

I am still petitioning for Marquette to get one of these babies :

I thought they had one of those super-duper t-shirt cannons.  They've hit the banners in the rafters a few times this year.

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.....

They also fired a bunch of shirts into the bottom of the jumbotron during the Cuse game.

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

They should go here : http://tshirtgun.com/ .. buy one for each cheerleader.

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.
