Agree too....center section lower rows should be students only.

Agreed, I'm kind of surprised they haven't done this.

Open the doors for students 15 minutes earlier than everyone else and problem solved?? If you can't get here early enough or find someone to save a seat for you then??? Tired of excuses!!!

They really should designate a certain lower portion of those sections as students only, and restrict the general public who buy up the rest to higher rows.

Absolutely. It's kind of like how Family weekend in the Dome is always a little more tame. Students sitting with their parents does not make for a frenzied environment.

Re: $10 Bleachers seats for Evansville

why should that stop you?
unless you are screaming something inappropriate for elementary-aged ears (which shouldn't be done anyway)

This... I brought my 5 and 7 year old sons to the Illinois state game. We had a blast and were jumping and cheering just as loud, if not louder and crazier than the student section.

And I was actually disappointed in the students around us... While they were cheering, They spent most of their time making fun of our players! Koch is a baby giraffe, Tuttle can only go left, etc.. Those were the appropriate ones.. My son even asked why they make fun of our players.

If students picked up their tickets, we wouldn't be there...

Good idea. I have now been to 3 of the 10 dollar games and I can say that most of us non-students have been sitting in the upper rows or the corner. But roping off some spots might be a good idea just to reserve some spots for our students who do go over and get their tickets.

However, if you are cheering and jumping for our guys, then follow my toddlers lead!

Ugh...just sad when the toddlers (and moms like me) are screaming louder and being crazier than the students.

Shouldn't be hard. For Gameday at WSU, they're letting students in at 8:15 and the rest of the public in at 8:30. That's the way it should be.

It really is as simple as this. Pick up your allotment, and families in the bleachers don't enter the equation.

Can't penalize the die hards for everybody else not showing up though, just my opinion.

Re: $10 Bleachers seats for Evansville

Was the only place students are able to pick up tickets at the ticket office by the McLeod? Or was there a way for them to get tickets in the Union?

If they can only get them from the ticket office, it’s quite a bit out of the way for most students. It could be a 30 minute walk round trip depending on where the student lives/parks. Factor in cold weather, people not wanting to lose their parking spot for the day, the way they scheduled their classes, etc – I see how it might be hard for a student to get to the ticket office/not want to go there. Perhaps next year if they could set up a way to sell tickets out of the student union it would help.

Join pep crew. Front row seats all day, every day. Pretty sweet deal for the low low price of cheering loud and loving the Panthers. It's such a foreign concept for me that people don't enjoy going to UNI games and cheering loud. I had so many hoarse voices for my Thursday/Friday prospective student tours because I cheered loud for an NIT or CBI bound Panther squad on Wednesday. How the hell can you not be jacked up, excited and proud of a team that is demolishing opponents and has basically been a lock for an entire month. I wish I could make trips to CF work more often, it's killed me to have not seen this team live all year (except maybe Morgan St or North Florida...I'm so "old" and I honestly can't remember if I went or not). Arch Madness can't come soon enough!!!

I don't know about student tickets, but I know that whenever I (as a non-student) needed to get any sort of ticket, the Gallagher-Bluedorn box office could do just about anything that the McLeod Center ticket office could do.
