UMass at 11 AM...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Let's punish the team, university, and local businesses because ESPN doesn't think a lot of people care about this game? Makes sense.
I want to know what people thought back when this game was scheduled. That it would be ESPN primetime?
Two 11 AM games in a season isn't not getting screwed. Last season was bad, this season has not been. Our last two home games, one is already a night game and I'd be the other one will be as well.

I would think that 11 o'çlock games do affect the local businesses negatively on it's own. Less people spend the night, etc.
It was going to be a stretch to get 50k there regardless of kickoff time or outcome of the aTm game.
My section, along 10-15 yard line, has about 30 seats below, 5 seats a row up and two next me, that have only been filled for the LSU game. I wonder if these seats were even sold except a single game lsu ticket.
Anyway, point is, I sense growing apathy among the State fans. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Sad thing is that the elite sec teams sell out for the most part even on games like these. We sometimes have a wishy washy fan base.
It's not just us. A lot of what we would consider elite or high level programs are having trouble with attendance. I sense a bubble that is about to burst. The crowd at the LSU/Auburn game was disappointing, and surprisingly few Auburn fans traveled considering what that game meant for them.
Hell Arkansas and OM are the 11am game this week...you think State and Umass would be primetime?
I dunno why any state fan would want this game later really, let’s get our win, get in a good mood and watch the good games at night.

I get on our fan base for not showing up as much as anyone, but it’s not like we having a booming middle class that can easily afford to make trips like that every week.
Yeah, glad you won't.
Thankfully, sixpackers with sense call out your stupid **** to make a statement.
That ship has pretty much sailed I think - we were smart to focus our expansion not so much on # of seats as we did on enhancing the quality of the experience for the fans that come. You want to see something really sad, look at Knoxville's 100K + stadium on any Saturday right now, or Florida's, hell even Alabama is hurting.
What bubble is about to burst? Do you think athletic departments are making the majority of their money on selling tickets or tv revenue? As long as tv revenue keeps giving us over $30 million each year it won’t matter if 45k show up for a game against Umass.
I went to my first game this past saturday as a friend of mine let me use his scoreboard club tickets. My 2yo son and i had a good time. I only watched the first half. Kids can put a damper on things. I'm hopeful as he gets a little older we will attend more games. It's a long haul from Mobile, AL right now. I did an up and back. Didn't get much accomplished yesterday.
Yep! I've sat in the club level a few times. That is very nice. We need another club level on the west and more skyboxes. However I tried the gridiron club, plenty of good food but not a good place to actually watch the game.
Anyway, I imagine stadiums of the future will have some form of luxury seating for 75% of those in attendance. It is to easy to sit home and watch on HD tv unless there is something bigger to experience at the game. Like luxury seats and/or a big tailgate party.

This is it. I have East side seats and almost didn't renew them this year. I purchased club level for one game and 100 level for last week. We only sat in our seats for the LSU game so far. I have about reached the point that I am going to try to move into club level or stay home and enjoy all the games. Five years ago, I would have never believed that I would feel this way.
Any future expansion is going to have to be a majority premium seating.
I for one thought this would be the ABC Wide World of Sports Game of the Week. Last year was a good game. ***
I disagree.
We need more suites/loge for the elites, but I think the length of time required to sell out the Scoreboard Club showed we're close to tapped out on the $1,000+ seat crowd.
What we need is to add more quality to the seats we do have to get butts in them. I'd chairback the stadium before I wiped out the 100's and 200's to try and find another 1,700 people willing to pay $1,750 for Club seats.
