2022-23 Non-Con Schedule

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

How so?

Have you seen their concert set ups? They'd fill that place and have dueling student sections.

You think a concert is similar to a basketball game?

Isn't part of the problem of playing basketball games at Miller Park that they can only heat the stadium up like 15 degrees higher than the outside temperature?  I don't know the exact numbers, but going to baseball games in April or September at Miller Park was still pretty cold, even with everything closed up.

I agree that it won't happen but are you concerned with filling the place?

There are almost 60,000 students alone between the 2 universities. Not to mention the easy access for the smaller Marquette fanbase. I think it'd be an easy sell to fans. Hard sell for the Universities.

When Miller Park was built they talked about stuff like this. If I recall, and it's been 25 years, from an engineering standpoint, with the roof closed they can only heat the place to about 25  degrees higher than the outside air temperature. So if they try and pull this off, it would have to be an early November game and it would almost have to ba day game.

On November 11 in Wisconsin, there are days and nights when the outside temperature doesn't get over 20 degrees, so roughly 45 inside. Can't do it, IMO.

I think after a couple of years, it will be hard to fill the place yes.  The novelty will wear off and people will realize its easier to watch the game at home on television.

I mean, you honestly think you'd have a bunch of UW students trucking down to Milwaukee to watch this every year?

[ATL MU Warrior]

A basketball game at AFF sounds awful to me.  The Final four game at the Super Dome was even way too far away to be very enjoyable.

Basketball games in facilities designed for football are terrible.  agreed.

"Source: Wisconsin and Kansas State are in di

scussion to play in what has been dubbed the Brew City Battle at American Family Field, home of the MLB's Milwaukee Brewers, on November 11th."

Having Marquette play Wisconsin ever year at Miller Park would be cool. 50,000+ seats and both teams would be able to have full crowds. Universities would miss out, but It'd be quite the atmosphere.

Were you one of the guys back in about 2007, when there was all sorts of bitching and moaning about re-starting the UWM series at the Bradley Center, who assured everyone that people in Milwaukee would line up for days ahead of time, around the corner and down the block to buy tickets to those games. When in fact I think the top attendance was 15, 000, and by year 5 was drawing about 12,000.

They should rotate between AmFam and Lambeau. Can you imagine the snowball fights between the two student sections? It would be epic.

I was not.

When we played the one game at Mecca, they didn't even sell it out. Small building and while it was well-attended, there were some empty seats.

I'd only favor playing inside the Brewers' ballpark if they'd bring an aircraft carrier inside and put the court on deck.

[Dickthedribbler]

If they're going to all the trouble and expense of in effect retro-fitting American Family Field for one day of college basketball, you would think they would schedule a doubleheader with Marquette playing someone in the other game. How about a Veterans Day Friday tripleheader with UWM playing someone at 3:00 pm; Wisconsin playing K-State at 5:30 pm; and Marquette hosting someone at 8:00 pm.

I mean if you're going to try and pull this off, you might as well go big.

I wouldn't want to give up the home game.

D-1 a year and Minnesota's St Thomas already thinking that MU will travel to play them in a road game because it would be in the Target Center.

Nice of them to dream big, but they don't think it's dream.

This has been one of the more delusional transitions to D1 that I have seen for awhile.

I talked to someone near their program 12 months ago. They thought they would land a top 100 recruit this year. I am not kidding.

Didn't they say something about being in the Big East in the not too distant future?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Didn't they say something about being in the Big East in the bit too distant future?

Yeah.  I wonder if their D3 success had made them blind to how tough this climb is going to be.  They aren't beating up on Gustavus Adolphus and St. Olaf any longer.

When the Tommies beat Alabama for the national football championship, will they limit their victory parade to St. Paul, or will it weave through all of the Twin Cities?

Neither were they:

Great. Now Shaka's being out-recruited by the Tommies. Fire his azz!

He was ranked top 100 in 2021 before he committed.  He was not in the top 100 when he actually did commit, and is not in the top 200 currently.

We will see how this pans out.
