But since you asked, (not bragging) but yes Ill be in East Lansing for the game, Ill also be at UCF and Rutgers this year in addition to ALL the home games, I also have been to the Garden the last 3 years for the BB Tourney as well in ADDITION to Temple for FB, ND for football, UCF for Footabll , FSU for football, ECT.... All but 1 bowl game. (typically hit at least 1 road game a year). Again not bragging just answering your question. I agree find it pathetic that we supposedly have over 22,000 season ticket holders and we had prob 10,000 students at the game, yet the Sports Authority reported 23,000 actual butts in seats. So We know who didn't show up, It was 10,000 season ticket holders. Edited September 3, 2013 by Dhambuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cow Pie Posted September 3, 2013 Group: Member Topic Count: 423 Content Count: 7,693 Reputation: 35 Days Won: 2 Joined: 09/04/2008 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The reason why 22K looks bad on TV is because we play in too large of a stadium, that has Rutgers red seats. If we had green or gold seats and played in a 40-45K stadium then it would not look so bad. With that said now is the time for fans to step up their game... these are the times that define us as real fans. Any yahoo can buy a Bulls shirt, hat, or flip on the tv. It takes real fans to get down to the stadium and support the Bulls even when they are doing piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulls Are We Posted September 3, 2013 Group: Member Topic Count: 217 Content Count: 2,495 Reputation: 192 Days Won: 1 Joined: 11/23/2003 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Where were all the season ticket holders Saturday? Had to be at least 7,000 missing. Most of the ones I know were at the game with the exception of vacations and weddings etc. It was a decent crowd considering this was supposed to be a lame game on a holiday weekend-- what did you expect It's just a bit surprising that 33% of our season ticket holders didn't come, that's all. Not saying that they're "lesser fans". I know USF said otherwise, but I don't see how we didn't end up with a significant drop off in season tickets with the Holtz hangover, conference realignment, FSU fans buying tickets, etc. Just wondering if USF somehow cooked the season ticket books to avoid the appearance that the bottom has dropped out. Conspiracy theorists unite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy theorists unite. the jump in season tickets last year was about the same amount of the dropoff this year iirc -- that's the FSU ticket impact. It was the only way some of those folks could get the tickets and they were about the going rate of the seats for their game against us anyway. pretty sure most of those season tickets were in the lowest price range available-- and that was limited to around the same number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
