Pick your seat night

[Purple1]

Not to take anything away from Steve Gearhart at all....just also wanted to say a big thank you and congrats on a great job to Kelly Destival and Megan Witt!! They put in lots of long hours getting this done.
It's going to be an awesome weekend when the McLeod Center opens!!
Go Panthers!!

JC..............see you Tuesday night!!!!

I'm on Sunday afternoon (not exactly a high roller here)

I live in Iowa City and drive up for most games by myself... If there are any other single-ticket folks out there in Panthernation who are looking for someone to select their seat next to, let me know. Maybe this would be better under the tickets forum? Who knows.

If not, I'm guessing I might still end up with a decent seat if others pick theirs in a way that leaves a stray unpicked seat here or there.

In any event... This is REALLY exciting! I can't wait to see this place. Does anyone know if they are giving tours tomorrow in conjunction with homecoming?

[TravelingPanther]

does anyone know the numbers of people picking each night? is it 100 a night?

[Cat Girl]

my letter showed the whole list of nights and how many people were choosing everynight was in parenthesis at the end of each date. i think a couple were 150, one was 200 or something.

I hadn't seen the letter when I posted from work. I noticed that when I got home. Anyone know the total # of season tickets sold?

[Deke3]

Tuesday night #9. I can't wait, but like several others will miss free candy with the kids! See you all there! I know right where I want to be!

I too am wondering how many season tickets were sold.

Did you get any pictures?

No, but Rick Hartzell has been promised by the contractor that the Mac will be fully operational the night of the 18th for volleyball. Much to do in the building with the message boards and scoreboards arriving this week. The lockerrooms for all the Panther teams are 21st century and definitely a selling point to any or our teams' recruits. The teams will enter through the student section and the first feeling you get is that all the spectators are right on top of you. The floor has been sent to be refinished, the alumni room will be a bit behind for completion and the walk way between the Dome and Mac will not be ready until February.

Even with the amount of finish work left to do and the amount of dust and construction going on, the building totally overwhelms you for its feel as a "big time" arena. As fun as the Dome has become in the last 5 years for football and basketball, this building will be exciting and entertaining from day one.

I haven't even recieve a letter yet. I'm starting to think they left me out. I plan on calling Steve in the morning.

i am pretty sure the teams don't enter by the student section. they enter through the north tunnel and the students are on the south end. i was in there on sunday and WOW, so awesome. there is still some work to do but all the seating is in, love all of the purple. the students will have wood bleachers which they will just stand on.

['70 Grad]

The students have permanent benches on the south end. Are you sure that it won't also be students in the folding benches on the north end?

[panthergrl0307]

Nope, Supersenior is correct... Students on the 4 south end sections with the band

[northwest iowa panther]

I wasn't told that the students would be on the North. I just assumed they would be because of the retractable bleachers. I figured they won't sit down during the game and with no chairs they could squeeze a few more into that area. My bad.
