Pack the Dome!

Re: Pack the Dome!

I don't think we should turn this into a long, public debate. You know who I am only because I provided you with a service and gave you something via my public e-mail address, only via private message/e-mail and not on the public portions of the board. That's information, in an anonymous forum, which is being provided in some confidence (especially considering the inability of some - not you, to be clear, but some - to separate a message board from "reality" as it were). To take information provided in confidence, use it to "check up on me" and then present your findings to the board is a first step in the wrong direction.

It sounds close to "I know where you live" and while you certainly didn't cross a line there, you were pointing yourself in the proper direction. I understand I am quite sensitive about these issues, but IMHO someones "identity" shouldn't even be alluded to on a board like this.

Whatever...long public debates seem to be what you live for.

Isn't that the point of a board like this, to engage in public debate and share ideas? Isn't that a foundation of our society? I suppose I could be disappointed that you apparently didn't read past the first phrase of that post.

The point is an important one and members of boards such as this should be reminded from time to time that this is public, the door is open to anyone, and you don't know who you are dealing with. Some people lack the maturity to leave what happens on a board like this on the board, and you should be vigilant to protect yourself accordingly.

Re: Pack the Dome!

Finally, I received a letter in early November spelling out what I needed to do to have my season ticket seats for potentially 3 home playoff games. I did as instructed and receive an email each week with my tickets. I don't know what else UNItix or UNI can do to ensure that season ticket holders sit in their season ticket seats. If you don't reserve per the instructions, then someone else may be in your seats and you are on the 20. It's not like you weren't informed.

Agreed. I'm really impressed with the way the tickets for playoff games have been handled. I responded to the e-mail stating my interest in playoff tickets and have gotten my usual seats for every game e-mailed to me on Sunday after every playoff win. It just can't get any easier than that.

If someone disagrees with my position, and I have been unpersuaded by theirs, of course I'm going to try and convince them and show them why I think the way I do. That's how we learn, and that's what a discussion or debate is.

Some of you approach these things far too emotionally. It's not a challenge to you as a person, and someone disagreeing with you doesn't mean they dislike you or think you're a bad dude. It's not a value judgment of you as an individual.

I simply do not understand how people go through life in such a state that they can't vigorously disagree with one another and yet be able to be friendly and enjoy one another afterward.

If it's handled that way............fine with me!

Re: Pack the Dome!

Reading the bickerfest is great.

One problem that was brought up and is frustrating is why do PSC member have till WEDNESDAY. I think that is the biggest problem. If you cannot get to it Sunday or Monday release them to the public. All unsold seats should be available to the general public right now. Not sometime Wednesday.

Another reason for the poor attendance is the complete lack of a decent online media feed for our games. I live out of the country and have been trying to get my girlfriend interested in Panther football.

The radio feed from stretch audio does not work.
ESPN360 international couldn't get their stream working for the last game. Hard to convince the little lady we should forgo her Birthday trip to NYC to go to Cedar Falls when she has never had the chance to listen to a game on the radio

Media coverage does not hurt attendance in the long run it helps it

Re: Pack the Dome!

I asssume about zero students will show up as usual.

Yah the students suck! And they are terrible people! Why do we even have students? UNI would be so much better without them!

Re: Pack the Dome!

Since I have a reputation to uphold....

UNI also had 9 games in the Dome in 1992:
- 6 regular season home games: Idaho St, ILS, WKU, Idaho, WIU, MSU
- 3 playoff home games: Eastern Washington, McNeese St, YSU

They have had 8 Dome games in two previous seasons, 1985 & 1996

Jay, you should write the weekly press release on the UNI site since they say it also happened in 1996. I looked it up to see who was right and found out you were right there was 8 Dome games in 1996 win UNI going 8-0. Not sure if they counted the semis against Marshall as a home game but was not.

Re: Pack the Dome!

Ignoring the bickering on this page, I agree that we NEED a packed house Saturday if we expect to beat Richmond. They intercepted Armanti Edwards 5 times! Hello!!!! That's insane. The dome needs to be rocking. At last weekend's game, the student section was very loud and even though we had a terrible attendance (9,000), the stadium still sounded like some of the very memorable packed games last season (S. Illinois, N. Hampshire, etc). The student section is clutch, but we have to have the other 7,000 fans show up. Oh ya, and its on ESPN nationwide....we need to represent well-- there shouldn't be a single empty seat seen on tv.
