      It felt like they were practically begging people last night on 1540 to come out to the game tomorrow. I am hoping the stadium is packed (and that the snow stays away)

          during halftime of the UNI @ ISU game, Gary was talking to the AD and he didn't seem too optimistic we would have a large crowd but maybe he was underselling.

            (don't get me wrong, I hope they have a profitable concert. But I want them to have a profitable football game and volleyball matches as well)

              Yep great move by our ad "we don't expect a lot of people."

              How about, "this is a huge weekend for Panther Athletics." Tickets sales are going like we never could have hoped." "if you haven't got yours yet you might want to do so now." "The NCAA will not allow us to sell more tickets than our stadium seats."


              Now, not one of those statements would have been a lie, it might have been deceptive, but how many things in advertising / marketing are deceptive. Get people excited about it.

                Add first round of playoffs into season ticket package. If they dont have a home game refund money. Uni wouod gain the interest.

                  don't know if that's allowed by the NCAA.

                    It's gameday an I couldn't sleep. What a huge day for UNI with everything that is taking place on campus. The weather is just wet right now with a high of 39 (was hoping for some snow this afternoon, but doesn't look like it will happen). Can't wait to crank up this day!!

                        Well said...it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy if we keep downplaying it in the press. However, I can see how he wouldn't want to look like an idiot in the media if he makes statements like that and 8,000 show up.
                        Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold

                          I am worried Dannen was telling the truth when he said there were only 4600 tickets sold on Wednesday.

                          However, the key to making a good profit on these playoff games is to under report how many people are actually there. If it gets out that we are sold out already then the NCAA will know and will expect we report a sellout. I don't know though maybe that doesn't actually happen as much as people think.

                          Either way I really hope there are a lot of people there. There was nothing worse than only have 6k in there last year against Lehigh. That was the worst atmosphere I have ever seen in the Dome, and our players felt it too. You could tell they were disappointed and never really got up for that game. I hope it is different this year.

                            If we didn't have a dome how many people do you think would show up on a day like today?

                              This is exactly why we built the dome....
                              "We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

                                Any word on number of tickets sold? Listening to Rima on the radio during the UNI-Iowa State basketball game at halftime I thought I heard they were reporting only 5-6K tickets sold...that's going to be awful if there isn't a lot of walk up
