That wasn't the point of the post, It was about people not showing up to support than coming on here to complain.  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.

Based on all the "Key Board Fans" comments, Im expecting to see a huge jump in attendance at the next home game and the rest of the home games this season.     Lots of people complaining about the t

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".

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.

was that cathartic?

 

what did you expect after last year? seriously-- you seem to ignore all the reasoning behind the crappy turnout and just want to soap box this issue to death

 

the weird part is that you seem to think people who are on this board somehow didn't go to the game when the majority of us are diehard fans who went and suffered through that miserable game-- i.e. you are preaching to the choir

A suggestion would have been to use the Quote button here .... Looks like you were responding to Mike and I don't think that was the case.

no- i realized that was directed at someone else. Just felt like trying to be a smartass and then tried to get the guy to understand he is directing venom at the wrong crowd.

I missed the game but that was because I had my tonsils removed a week and a half ago and I am in agonizing pain.

 

I will be at the next home game.

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

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.    :stirpot:

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
