I have not been to a game at the RAC in 2 years as I live on Long Island but just purchased tickets (through RU) for this game as its an easy drive for me. The ticket office rep stated they did not know at this point where the seats were as they said they have not been allocated yet, but hopefully it's somewhere near our bench. Arena is on the smaller side (capacity is 4k) but looks quite nice as it was recently renovated. Hopefully we are sitting with a bunch of RU fans who make the trip as it's a Saturday night game. Interestingly, I read that the state of NY paid for almost the entire ($20mm) cost of the renovation. http://www.stonybrookathletics.com/sports/2016/8/25/facilities-ston-10-arena-html.aspx

I attended the game at St John's last year and there were not many of us, although Julie was there.

intrigued by this..lived in Yapank for 5 years off the William Floyd and my son was actually born at SB Hospital...haven't been out there since 1992. Moved back to Jersey about a month after he was born. (but just got handed some Army-Navy tix so may be going south instead)

Would consider it if there was a bus from organized from the RAC. Is that a possibility?

I'll be at the game as well. I moved from Fort Lee, NJ to Commack, NY about 8 years ago. I bought tickets since this is a 15 minute drive from my house. Anxious to see the new arena as this will be my first time there.

IFCU Arena is an awesome place to catch a game. It reminds me a lot of the RAC. If this is a close game expect it to be really loud, almost annoyingly loud. Looking forward to it. I've been there a couple of times this year since it's only 15 minutes from my house.

I am looking forward to the game. It should be really loud with Steve Pikiell returning to Stony Brook. Hopefully our guy can play hard for Coach and themselves. I'm sure the Stony Brook faithful will play extremely hard and try to defeat their former coach. It should be a tough game for us but I hope we can get the W.

Missed @Minnesota last season because I was completely crushed by the flu, but prior to that we'd been to every road game played since 2003.

We don't miss many...no.

Haters always gonna hate...

I've lived a over a decade on the road with this program, developed so many relationships and made many more friends. I'm wealthy beyond words in that regard, and nobody could ever take that away.

I consider it a blessing to be able to do what my wife and I do as it pertains to RU hoops.

So...don't worry about me brother...I'm good.

I'll be there with my 2 boys, section 202. I've never been to this arena, although I live in Manorville, and I was born and raised in Commack. Looking forward to seeing RU play and win.

Still think all the red should be green instead.

Or the blue switched to the green and the red should be blue.

Just don't "see" red when I read or hear the name Seawolves.

NY State and SUNY has a very different model than NJ. They pay for capital construction costs centrally and separate state funds without adding it to the University debt burden. In New Jersey between 1988 and 2014 everything built on any public NJ campus was paid for by the University borrowing money and then paying it back from students or other users. Dorms from rent. RU stadium by ticket purchasers.
Also the U. of Buffalo Football Stadium we played in a while back was all NYS money.

I Couldn't buy them on Scarletknights.com. Bought them from the stony brook site. Only section left was 203, which is RUs side anyway. See you there!

I actually agree with you.

Traveling around the country to watch a basketball team and be a big part of the program must be awful. I'd rather just sit on my *** in NJ and judge other people and their more eventful lives.

I bought tickets a while ago through sk.com and I'm in section 104. This will probably be close to a packed house and the most hostile road environment that this team has faced to date.

visiting team tickets are usually top corner to the left of the student section if you're looking from on the court. Right side of the court if you're looking at where you walk in, same side as the bench. It's a good view considering the place isn't huge.

Just checked their seating chart. It's sections 104 and 203 if I remember correctly.

pps: 104 and 203 are both up higher, so don't think there's a huge difference when buying. 103 is the money slot behind the bench, suites are down there also.
