Re: Home Court DISadvantage

Sounds like i made a great choice by going to the waterloo blackhawks game and not the uni game

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

Yep, couldn't hit open shots. How many of Carlton's open looks rolled around the rim like some of my golf putts? Stinks, because Coleman played his butt off. Really did. Trump, even you would've been proud.

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

It seemed like half of those missed shots went half way down and then came out...

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

okay well thats still pretty weak for a home game. I thought the mcleod center was bigger. What was the domes attendance?

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

16,400 roughly. We fit over 17k with standing room last year though

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

For basketball the Dome could accomodate 8000-10000, though some seats got pretty bad after you got above about 7,000...

Eric was playing very hard (sometimes a little too aggressive at times, but I can live with that if Eric plays like that all the time). That sucks that the game wasn't on radio in Des Moines. What was on instead?

Religious programming.

Much more entertaining game to watch IMO...literally couldn't buy big buckets and another 25 - 30 percent shooter went unconscious on us. Effort was good, but this ain't our season. Viet got abused on defense last night, too.

That's paid attendance. Probably 4500 in-house.

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

I tried to get tickets for Sats. game, on the internet it was not letting me get 5 seats together so that was the end of that. I would assume it was close to full, just single tickets scattered around is what was available on the website.

If the website is wrong then this makes the basketball ticket system as big a joke as their football ticketing system.

I am not going to take my wife and kids and battle for position in the student section.

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

This is a serious issue. If fans aren't coming because they can't order tickets online (is that the preferred way?) then we should examine this issue.

I have nothing to back this theory up, but I think we do have some major issues involving our ticket office when it comes to basketball games.

Other teachers in my building have wanted to go to games on NUMEROUS occasions this year and were told there is only standing room only available. Now, I don't know if these people were REALLY trying hard to get tickets or if this is the truth, but when people are told there's only standing room available seats left, and I go to a game and see 3000 empty seats, it makes me think something is not quite right.

Re: Home Court DISadvantage

I asked for 5 online and it didn't even get two of the 5 together. With kids I can't just roll the dice when I get there and hope to get 5 together.

Can you buy tickets in the student section? Do the students have a cutoff date?

I buy everything online if possible, except UNI football playoff tickets because they are in the stone age.
