DaHill......I see empty seats at a AAMU/ASU game


People may not have taken their seats, but the game was solded out. I was there and you could not get into the dome unless you had a ticket.

Part of this thread is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Anyway, last year an estimated number of over 15000 (with an official number of 13100) saw the PV-TSU games. This year those numbers maybe surpassed even with PV having a very bad year.

But still, part of this thread is the pot calling the kettle black. It is a lesson worth learning.

BTW when one adds parking and concessions, it costs a good bit of money to see a game at the Toyota Center. :eek:

You know, DAHILL, there is a possiblity that what you said is the truth. I will give you the benifit of the doubt. But you would not do the same for us. I think that is the point that the Houston posters are trying to make. You gave the reason why your seats were not filled. Cool. But when any of us THIRD COAST or Houston posters give reason why our seats are not filled, you would say we are just making excuses. You know this. But it all good. :lmao:

You cannot wait until game day to purchase your ticket, you must already have a ticket prior to the game. Therefore, many folks were on the outside trying to purchase tickets. :D

AAMU and Alabama St are the only two SWAC Schools that can sell out a basketball game.

Can they sell out a game in a 15-24K arena when the game will be on TV?

The fire marshal will not allow you to exceed compacity.

Here is what we mean by sell out. If you have 100 seats and you sell 100 seats it is a sellout. Seems like someone was saying to people walking up is give me ten dollars and come on in if you sold 1900 seats that you did not have.

Fire marshal send help :D
 
how you know it is a sellout at TSU or PV

people spill onto the floor and cause the shot clock to go out (TSU)
the building AC stops cooling people off
the press area is not easy to navigate

there were 10K but 8,100 was listed....people with tickets did not get in.

Our folks sit down unlike you all
 
ASU/A&M game

The game was a sellout. I purchased 6 tickets on Wed. I had numerous inquiries about ticket on Sat. There were done available. My wife and I left after the ladies game. So there were two empty seats for the televised game. We figured that the women would put on a better show. I was impress with the dawgs' lady team.
 
ok...you left after the women's game...nevermind..too easy

someone on the other board mentioned the sight lines in the dome made the game appear empty. There were empty seats all over the place. Why don't folks sit down?

In the second half the game WAS empty... nothing to do with site lines. And I have told you why people left.... take it how you want to...This happens every year, so it is nothing new.
 
Just like the Magic City Classic, a lot of people go there to socialize. I remember last year when the greeks left the game during the third quarter, a mass exodus of students left too. The only way you are going to keep people's attention at an ASU/AAMU game is to have a close game.

For a school who had only 275 in attendance during the AAMU/JSU Basketball game, I believe they can use your help in Jackson. :D

Don't forget the Lone Star Beer you owe me because Jones scored 73 points on TSU and helped achieve the objective you have had for years.
