Playing Florida schools like UCF and FIU

[LakeBull]

sure lose a lot of appeal when there are minimal seats available for our fans.  Probably need at least two for ones in the future to make the games worthwhile for us.

or we can negociate this into terms of facing us. Or temporary bleachers.

Even the orange bowl put up temporary bleachers.

How many tickets do you think opposing fans anywhere normally get?

Seriously, both schools have given us more than they normally give other schools. And I'm sure it's more than WVU is probably giving.

It's part of getting bigger. Those who have not given as much or any money to the school are gonna get the shaft.

ET has been telling everyone for years to donate.

Much of the appeal of UCF was that it was almost like another home game and last time we went to Orlando we brought around ten thousand fans over there.  (As did the Knights to Tampa)  Now with seating limited to 4,000 that appeal is about as flat as a can of coke opened yesterday.

Its hard for FIU to give us more tickets, since their stadium is only 20,000 strong.  Also, UCF is in a similar boat with a 43,000 seat stadium.  Remember, just because they don't give us more tickets doesn't mean you can't get them.  There are always people selling tickets either online or right in front of the stadium.

I feel their pain; still their limitations do nothing to turn these lemons into a winning situation for us.   In the future we need at least two for ones from these programs.

Ditto, we will have to get creative if we ever hope to see the lizards visit Tampa.   Why should they leave their nice sold out stadium in Gainesville?   You know the one that seats twenty-five thousand more people than RJS.

The UCF series was basically dictated to us. FIU is a 2-for-1.

While Benny Hill stadium does fit more than RJS, "nice" is the LAST word I'd use to describe that dump.

It is not hard to see now why we haven't scheduled anymore of these games for a few years now
