Given how many people showed up for the sale last year, this sounds like it will be a disaster. there were 100's of people & they waited in line for hours............ how can they open the doors for the sale at 6:30?

This is what's frustrating. This is the easiest thing to do as a season ticket holder benefit. Do a 1-hour season ticket holders only beforehand. You can have people pre-register.
You know what would have been a neat idea? Hold a Spring Football Game and have this as part of the event!

Thought this was about the basketball team
They did it last year, but it was on a Saturday and the doors opened early. It went on all day. The photos I saw showed an absolute madhouse
A friend of mine cleaned up. Probably purchased $1000 worth of stuff for under $200
I'm not a season ticket holder and agree, this should be an absolute for at least the first few hours.
Too many resellers. People who couldn't care less about Rutgers buy a good portion of what's available. They then make a quick buck by selling the items for a tidy profit on eBay and other platforms.
There will be a TD Club event at the stadium from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on 4/18. Club members should get first crack at the merch. They are diehard fans and deserve a nice fringe benefit for being a member.

Wait.
The gates will be open at 11am?
So, in all likelihood, the Spring Sale is going on at that time as well .....which is NOT mentioned in the original press release.
The gates will open for the TD Club event at 11 a.m. The merch won't be sold until later.
I live an hour away. If this was a season ticket holder benefit, I'd sign up and go. But I'm not making the effort under these circumstances.
For those that wait in line and do this, I hope you get some good stuff.

The funny thing is I still see stuff on Facebook marketplace a year later...so not the market they thought.
Just a heads up, I am at the stadium now. This sale is no where near the sale last year. They have about five racks of clothing and a small table of shoes out.
It is 90% t shirts. A total of 8 racks maybe. No equipment. No sideline gear. All leftovers very limited. Maybe 10 pairs of shoes all size 9 and smaller. Hats almost all fitted only sizes 7 and a few 7 1/4
I'm glad I forgot about this. I'd be pissed knowing Rutgers hyped up this "great" opportunity to only find such a paltry offering. From the massively, disorganized s**tshow in the fall to this is disappointing.
I wouldn't have assumed it to be anything like last year. Last year they were selling off a stockpile that accumulated over multiple years since they were switching from Adidas to Nike, and the previous time they did one of these sales was many years prior. I'll probably stop by this afternoon. Was it as chaotic as last year with tons of people crammed into tight spaces and a line to pay that seemed never-ending?
I stopped by the sale -- not much merch but not many people. I was good for me though because I bought a bunch of hats as I give them to everyone I bring to a game. I also did get one good jersey -- not a game jersey though.
But be advised that I was told that pretty much all the merchandise was out and not much was held back for today, so I would not bother if you did not go yesterday.

Thanks for the update. I'll probably check it out anyway since I live close enough that it's no big deal if there's nothing left that is worth buying.
