2011 Spring Game 4/29

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29

Will Roth 2-7, 32 yds., INT
Jared Lanpher 13-23, 129 yds., 2 TD, 2 INT



Tell me how Lanpher and Roth were anymore impressive - granted I wasn't at the game so going just off of stats


I think our offense will be fine this year.

I also think that Lanpher or that kid from OK will be our future.

Lanpher made a lot of impressive throws, and really should of had three TD's he put a ball perfectly on LeMaster running a 45 yard timing route, and one of our very quality DB's knocked the ball loose. The two Ints were an amazing play by L.J. Fort and a deep ball that was a little under thrown picked off by Jaz Granderson making a rather athletic play. I think we need to remember the defense our quarterbacks were throwing against.

I agree Lanpher or the kid from Jenks will be the future.

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29

QB's performance speaks for itself the last 2 or 3 years. If you are happy with it then I am happy for you.

I don't complain about Farley that much IMO.

If you are happy with Pehl and other guys that people here say were recruited with not much thoughts of them being in impact players then I am happy for you. I would take some JUCO's maybe not guys that have served time in prison but I wouldn't mind extending a second chance to a few juco players.

How about some $1 hotdog days if ticket prices can't be changed.

What is wrong with the ticket prices? I paid 89 dollars for a season ticket, that is freaking cheap. Check prices at Iowa, Iowa State, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and I don't know what other MVFC schools are but I'd bet we are middle of the pack or bottom half. Hell, Montana charges $250 for season tickets. Their game against a D2 this year is something like 40 bucks for a ticket, and a single ticket for their game against Eastern Washinton this year is about $60.

Please tell me how $24 for an adult ticket is too much.

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29

Thats a great question... where are we in ticket value amongst our peers in the MVFC?

school = season = game*
ISU(b) = $45
WIU = $50-80 = $10-20
MSU = $50-100 = $12-22
YSU = $60-84 = $12-16
SDU = $90 = $15-22
NDSU = $93-135 = $15-25
SIU = $95
UNI = $99
SDSU = $100
ISU(r) = $100 = $14-21
* not all schools had single game tix available/posted

On a side note, many of the schools charge more for certain games in the conference. Usually its just a couple extra bucks. UNI was a more expensive game every time.

As we should be.

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29

Based on track record of success and the quality of the program, our season tix should also be the most expensive in the conference.

This.

A LOT of people complain about season prices and single game prices but the fact of the matter is that for the product put on the court/field in all UNI sports our prices are a major bargain for fans

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29

As well as the comfort of the Dome. We all take it for granted, but it is the best facility in the conference by a wide margin.

I have voiced my opinion on this before but I think having every ticket the same price is a bad idea. $24 a ticket too much? Maybe not but why was attendance mediocre last year with a pretty good team and the comforts of the dorm. Probably because $24 is a lot for IAA football. Why not have tickets be 10 or 15 outside the 30 or 20 yard line? I think a lot more people would be there and would still buy pop/popcorn etc. Also, you brought up Iowa State prices but how much to hillside tickets cost? I am not sure but I think it might be around 15, and that is for Big 12 football.

Season Hillside tix cost $99. (6 home games this season)
Single game hillside seats range from $10-$60, depending on opponent and the date. (UNI, Texas, and A&M are $20. Iowa is $60. Kansas and Okie St. are both $10, which are November games)

Ok, other than the Iowa game a family could go to ISU games for a very reasonable price. I think this is something UNI should do. It pains me to see a half full dome. It is such a nice facility and we always have a competitive team. What is so hard about offering tiered pricing? $24 between the 20's and
$12 outside of them.

The seats/views in the dome are not different enough to offer different prices, IMO. You have to pay less to sit hillside at ISU because A) you don't even get a 'seat', and B) the hillside seats are a lot 'worse' than getting to sit in the stands.

I certainly would not pay twice as much as the guy sitting 50 feet to my right, just because I'm inside the 20's.

I'm surprised UNI doesn't have more of a choice in different prices for quality of seats.
That's one thing nice I like about ISU's tickets, they give you a lot of options to get into the game at many different prices. Heck, I think season endzone seats are only $150? And neither those or the hillsides require any donation to the NCC.

So, do people sitting at the 50, pay the same as somebody sitting endzone level?

Fair enough. Between the 30's $24, 5-30(or something like that) $18, and endzone $12.

Tickets are expensive and it is stopping some families from going especially ones that do not live in Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Attending games at a sold out dome are some of the most memorable/fun sporting events I have ever been to. I just think something has to be done to get larger crowds.
