    Explain Empty Seats and Pricey Tickets -- Didn't Make Sense....

    Without the students the atmosphere yesterday evening was pretty lame. No buzz or energy in the crowd.

    Why are tickets so expensive for the Western game?

    They should be giving them away. Stadium is fairly empty 20 minutes before kick-off.

    The dark ages are back?

    Been going to NU games since the dark ages. Don’t ever remember QB running 69 for a TD. The way they’re playing today, it might be a year of many head shaking firsts.

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

    Neither the O or D coordinator is looking good today. The play calling when we had fourth and goal was questionable. On fourth and eight we don’t pressure the QB. Maybe this is just a wasted year until the new stadium is open for a new coaching staff.

    Ten Questions: 8. Can Northwestern restore home-field advantage?

    Their fans were as insufferable as any OSU fan I’ve seen at Ryan or the former Shoe. And if you have seats in the north end zone avoid taking the walkway under them. The stands are essentially scaffolding so objects can fall or be intentionally pushed onto people walking below. left the IU...

    A friend was at the Bluestone on Central recently and he got into a conversation with a group of Ryan Field construction workers. They said that because they haven’t had many work days canceled because of cold or snow, the project was ahead of schedule.

    OT: Woodson out

    After watching the entire post-game news conference, I wouldn’t be surprised if he left. He called out the league, from bad refs to lousy hotels, in a frank manner. He was clearly fed up and venting. If he thinks that the deck will always be stacked against NU and him, regardless of the...

    I'm out

    Whatever happened to Adam Smith? The other schools can charge big bucks because they have rabid fan bases who fill the stadium. NU has never had that, even in our good years. The ‘96 and ‘00 wins over Michigan in very good years for us still had the stadium filled with 30-40 percent of their...

    Season Ticket Payment Plan

    GEC, Tickets per se are cheap: $150.00 per seat for five games in the north end zone. It’s the “$350.00” per seat contribution that makes it $100.00 per game. I’d guess that the “contribution” for seats in the new stadium will start at $500.00 per, and rise with the yard marker: $1000.00-...
