OU v MU 11/28

[Warriors4ever]

Where are the tickets located that some of you got through MU? I can't figure out if we are considered the home team or the visiting team.

Self-imposed limitations???

What's the confusion?

He's willingly making his job that much more difficult by refusing to use the portal, something he's had incredible success with and every other coach in America utilizes annually.

Add in the fact he hardly goes after/doesn't pay up for true blue chip high school talent (Andrews, Ward, Morillo) and instead takes as many unknown projects as he possibly can (Ross, Gold, Itejere, Hamilton, Clark, Walker) and here we are. Staring down the barrel of a terrible 2025-2026 and an even worse 2026-2027. But hey, I'm not the GM so what does it matter what I think.

Ahh a dose of reality and valid criticism too much for you to handle?

Same.  Must be a Marquette section.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If you're a fan that hates MU playing non-conference games in Chicago in November, you're in for a lot of disappointment in the upcoming years.

Financially, it is great for Marquette. No air travel, limited hotel expenses, name opponents without committing to a home/home. Having Chicago 90 minutes from campus is a huge plus for the athletic budget.

And therein lies the problem. What's easy and makes money? Those are the only two questions being asked. Nothing about what gives the best fan experience, how they reward fan loyalty, or really any consideration of how to center the people that pay the bills.

As a result, season tickets are down 10% this year, they can't sell single games, and this Oklahoma game looks like a ghost town. But that's okay, it's not about retaining or growing the fanbase, just bleeding the ones that haven't jumped ship yet.

I get the argument from both sides.  Going to Maui helped my children to be life long fans and that interaction with the players really is special in those environments.  2 of them ended up going to MU.  So it does help financially in the long run. 

But, the Chicago market is huge.  And there are numerous graduates who would be filling that place if the team was good this year. 

It's just unfortunate MU isn't playing good ball right now.  I know two families who were thinking of going but are not anymore because they perceive MU as having no chance to win.  Why pay the money, if you can watch "a loss"from home.  A trip like Maui or charlotte or Orlando or Vegas would have been difficult to back out of.  Chicago, not so much. 

Hope the team proves them all wrong and they start figuring out how they all fit together.  Go MU!

If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best...

103 row J.

I know I didn't have the Deane era, but if I could keep my tickets and support through some of those Wojo years, I ain't even thinking of quitting now.

[TallTitan34]

We have mention of a 103, 105, 109, and 114.  The entire arena may be a Marquette section.

Yup.

I'll use others jumping off as an opportunity to move up the points list as well!

Dude, if you ever made it to Turners for a Deane post game you would have doubled your ticket spend.  The Deane years were fun.  Each and every year there were some great home games. The Louisville and Cnci games were battles.  Even one of his last home games in '99, we knocked off #4 Cinci and Bob Huggins came over to Turners for a cigar.

Also, 114 Row M on Friday.

Thanks all for the ticket info!
I am getting reminders now to grab tickets before they're all gone lol.

Very little would be overstating it.

Marquette is the only team not going to Maui and instead playing neutral court games against high major programs.

Wait, nope. Welcome to college athletics.
