Maybe they did an analysis and determined that they would maximize ticket sales by sacrificing some seats and use the space for entertainment. Maybe without the attractions they only would have sold 3500...EvanJ wrote:You're right.

Yesterday raised the percent of our minutes outside the eight players with the most minutes from 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent. Charleston is over double that at 7.0 percent, and Northeastern is over triple that at 10.9 percent. We were at 9.0 percent last season.

It's always a good time when we win and hopefully not a one possession game or any O/T's!! Lets cover the spread.Cards wrote:Sounds like many of those remaining "sold out" tickets are selling on teh secondary market. Great to hear!
Not that many student tix left either.
I'm pumped for a strong showing and a good time!
Even if the attractions don't help attendance, we're rarely going to sellout where a capacity of 400 more would have provided much more revenue, especially if they were the cheaper seats.joeg1 wrote: Maybe they did an analysis and determined that they would maximize ticket sales by sacrificing some seats and use the space for entertainment.
