    Your buddies on the team that you claim to have could use a nice, no-pot-shot motivational column. Win one for the Griffer, you know?
    thats actually my primary role is to columnize about UNI and the Panther Nation, but that also extends into Gateway and MVC stuff too.

    No one needs me to motivate them, i'm pretty much worthless as is dont you think stout...remember you made me that way.

      I think the idea of selling 1/2 season tickets, weekend only, game packages, etc... is a great idea and it should reduce the # of empty seats as well. We have 22 home games this season, thats a big committment both attendance-wise and money-wise. But then again, that would mean more work for our wonderful error free ticket office.

        Don't we already do this?

          Reducing empty seats really isn't a function of selling more tickets. People who wanted tickets for the SIU game were told the only seats available were in the north bleachers on the concourse. That's why they announced over 6K for the game with 4K-5K in house. There were still a lot of empty seats.

            There are a lot of people who can't sit in bleachers (typically older folks or people with back problems). It doesn't matter if the view is good if you can't actually utilize what's available.

              Win more games puts seats in the seats.
