You guys are going to miss some good games against Tulane and Memphis...

ESPN ranks USF's basketball class #26. Not too shabby!

Still going to buy season tickets next year to watch this mess.

Ugly- missing a wide open two handed dunk.

gone

There were not 2,000 UCF fans there. Not even close. Classy folks tipping trash cans after the game. Can't wait to have them over every year.

ding ding ding Think they actually have more commuters than we do. How many students are at the Tampa campus vs the amount at their Oviedo campus? You think parking is bad at USF- check out UCF...

Ten per game- 15 for both games.

Me + 5

Leaving on a cruise and will miss these 2 games- Loyola and Western Michigan. Section 222 Row O Seats 6 & 7 (2nd level, 2nd row, seats on the left end) $10 for the pair.

It'd be nice to do a big promotion for students for the first game...green shirts or something maybe.

I'm not worried. Really loved the Sun Dome. Everything is top notch. Love the team store, was packed. Bathrooms are nice, concourse was nice, seats were nice. Only small gripe was some of the concession prices... but not forced to buy anyhting.

The Oracle is hard to read sometimes. Just seems to be one giant *****fest

I'm curious too about when we can park, what the rules are, ect ect. Here's a link to the 'Home Game Info' on gousfbulls.com. It's full of a lot of good information. http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&SPSID=36686&SPID=2923&DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=205329494

Maybe shouldn't go here...but... Looking for 2 Bucs/Chargers tickets this weekend. Lower level wanted. Please let me know if you are selling any. Thanks!

Here's an article from the Oracle regarding student tickets and the parking lots. When I was at USF a few years ago, I know everyone wanted a spot in the Dome lot (and then complain about not being able to find a spot), while a couple of the garages were half full. Are things still the same? I always lived on or next to campus so never had to deal with it. Instead of searching for a spot for 30-45 minutes, why not park at a slightly further lot and walk/take the Bull Runner? http://www.usforacle.com/student-basketball-tickets-a-barrier-to-attendance-1.2788762#.UJflecXA-8A The men’s basketball team is expecting a greater show of fandom after the dance that almost landed it in the NCAA Sweet 16 last season, but implementing a no-parking rule after 5:30 p.m. in the Sun Dome parking lot and mandating students request tickets online before the game is no way to celebrate. Coach Stan Heath announced at a press conference last month that the lower bowl is already sold out for men’s basketball season tickets, and that the team is expecting a larger crowd. It is important to see that basketball, both men’s and women’s, is growing as a more serious sport at USF. But while the advance ticket request system works for football, a game played at a stadium nearly 30 minutes from campus, the system — and new parking rules that come with it — is not the way to impose a culture change toward appreciating college basketball at USF. One of the joys of the team playing in the Sun Dome is the ability for students to walk over the day of the game, after class or before heading to a dining hall. While the new policies are beneficial in that they guarantee more space for outsiders and alumni to attend more basketball games — something that marks the success of a sport on campus — the new rules impose more barriers for students to attend basketball games, which until now, have not had an over-attendance problem. Students who park in the Sun Dome during the day will think twice before having to re-enter the lot and pay for a permit. Others who aren’t sure they can commit in advance to watch a game are likely to skip out. Further, it has not been made clear to students whether or not policies for football tickets — such as that they may only be printed out until kickoff, and must be canceled if not being used, lest a student risk losing “Loyalty Points†— will apply to basketball tickets as well. Basketball has a different appeal than football at USF, and thus can’t be treated the same way. According to data from the Office of Postsecondary Education, men’s basketball at USF brings in about $4.6 million a year — about 10 times the amount of revenue brought in by all other men’s sports excluding football, but about $12.4 million less than football. Men’s basketball faces the unique challenge of a sport on the cusp of made-it status. But demand for the sport has yet to reach the point where these policies would be beneficial. For now, requiring students to request game tickets and move their cars from the Sun Dome lot only impedes student attendance and adds stress to attending a basketball game.

Who is going Saturday? Will have 4 and plan on tailgating that afternoon. Go Bulls! Tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0D004950FA9A6B0B?artistid=842313&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=7

Endzone seats are $130 I believe your first year since you're an alum, or upper deck corner for $75...

On a positive note, I actually heard the band.

I'm glad we're close. Maybe by the time Pitt rolls around we'll be ready to go.

I meant for single ticket sales- they haven't opened up the third level yet. I hate that we'd have to offer it on the season opener, but why not sell third level - 2 for $15 on LivingSocial, Groupon, something that will get more butts in seats? Create some sort of buzz.... Would suck only having 5-6k at the opener against UCF.

Doubtful on the sellout. Lot of tickets still available in 2nd level and 3rd level not even on sale yet.

Don't believe there's any chance we're back with ESPN. They don't want it.

That's probably a good thing this year.

Could also be a budget issue. Depending on their contract they could be spending 1-5 cents per email. May have sent to half the database, certain levels, ect...
