Stupid on their part, but appreciate the information.

And did you know 03eng that within the Courtside Club there is a super exclusive Marquette Room for the ultra high rollers?  (No, chick and I aren't members.)  She like to refer to our slumming portion of the Courtside Club as ''The Rhombus Room of Mediocrity'.

To answer your question, President Society members (guessing that's 1,000 folks) are CS Club members assuming they have season tickets.  The Marquette Room is $10K large every year directly to Athletics Only endowments such as Blue/Gold.  No other non athletic endowment contribution counts although I'm certain that some lifetime exemptions exist.  The Zilber family is certainly welcome even if they never gave a dime to athletics, for example.

My "Rhombus of Mediocrity" joke isn't funny unless you also mention that the ultra exclusive room is called the "Circle of Excellence".

I knew of the ultra high swanky club....I knew a guy once who happened to talk to his cousin who knew this girl that talked to Ferris at 31 Flavors who talked about that club....I guess it's pretty nice in there.


I'm trying to decide if I float the idea of joining the Courtside Club to her or not.  It be a backdoor way of donating to Marquette, plus it might be nice to go there some times when our friends can't meet up for drinks before the game...I don't always drink alone    Cash bar the same cost as buying a beer on the concourse?

You gotta be sneaky with these damn Badger grads  

Prices are the same...better selection, though.  And they make a nice bloody for about the same price as a tap craft beer.  Free snacks, too -- usually a veggie tray, a hot appetizer of some sort, chips/chex mix, and baked-in-house cookies.

As an added perk, the team runs through it on the way to the court, and everyone lines up on both sides of the aisle and cheers them on. I enjoy watching the little kids getting a big kick out of high-fiving the guys as they come through.

When you say "little kids" are you referring to Jsglow? I'm Betting that he's high five a player or two in pre-game.

To my knowledge, he has never high-fived any player in The Rhombus. He mostly claps and yells something along the lines of "Let's do this!"

However, once I did gave a slap of five to Vander Blue.  I was walking out towards the court just as he was coming in from shoot-around, and he stopped in the "tunnel" about five feet behind the front row of seats to take one last shot.  Nothing but net.  It was actually quite impressive.

So you can confirm that he gives a good slap of five? Man, you could have saved so much hand-wringing.

Hope none of y'all referred to Mr. Blue as Vander Orange, ai na?

Sorry. It's the Facebook thank you video. Not sure why it won't work for you.  But the actual attendance is on a graphic.

No problem.  I'm really surprised they put out the gate number.   

[Dr. Blackheart]

I'm curious where you are getting your 14,958 number.  Unless things have changed, that number would never be reported.

Source?  I am your stinking source 

[Mr. Nielsen]

No problem.  I'm really surprised they put out the gate number.   

I'm shocked. Maybe that's why the video is down.

Who's in charge here?

Interesting notes from today's reseating email:


Please note the following seat configuration changes designed to create an even greater home-court advantage at the BMO Harris Bradley Center by creating a more intimate game experience for our student season ticket holders:

Section 216, Rows W-Z converted to media seating;
Student seating area extended to the court apron.

[Warrior of Law]

I noticed that those seats were media seats for the Bucks playoff games, too.  I'll take them at their word (for now).

So, you believe it's possible that they are lying about this? 

They can still be media seats for the Bucks.  They are folding chairs and cafeteria tables; it's not like it is some sort of permanent setup.

Can't wait for local media to bitch and complain about the move. Let Matty V sit at center court, put the rest of them in upper corner. Most of those guys come late, leave early and play grab ass throughout the game.

Wojo got his way. He really wanted to move the students closer. That gonna be a lot of fun for them.

Now if only they could convert the section of season tickets/non students (The section to the left when facing the students) instead of relegating students to the upper deck. It'll look nicer, encourage more to show up, and make home court more of an advantage.

Gotta move the sweater vest crowd to the 400 level, hey?
