UNI vs. ISU Setup

[Deke3]

Correct me if I am wrong. The UNI Bench is on the NE side of the dome this year. Correct?

[Pantherwoman]

Northwest side is correct. Folks sitting on the east side are looking at the Panther bench.

I'm sorry...in the Dome it will be the same as last year. I just came back from a dress rehearsal for the dedication of McLeod and have that building on my mind. My apologies.

[Deke3]

Well, from the information I got the set up is not the same as last year...in fact the first night of seat selection everyone was told the set-up was going to be the same, but on the second night (when I picked seats) they told us it was different from last year and the panther bench was going to be on the Northeast side. I questioned this several times and the ticket person checked with someone else (not Steve G.) and they confirmed the set-up would indeed be different from the last several years we have had big games in the dome. I will dig a little deeper and see if I can find anything else out.

So is it the same set up as last years Iowa game where the court is in the middle of the dome and both sides of the football bleachers are used or is it the normal MVC setup where the brown bleachers are brought in close to the action??

i apologize to any ticket taker people who read this...but as a general observation...the ticket people are worthless in a lot of ways.

1. As a student...we are told to take our IDs, Paper ticket to the game for them to scan (pref. both) and they dont even look at the paper ticket (the 5 times i had one) and they dont scan the ID.

2. A majority of them don't seem to know what is going on with tickets or where the seating is in the McLeod.

I understand its a hard job in a lot of ways and they have to remember a lot and do a lot of controlling, but just irks me, that they ahve one major job (with tickets) and they can't do it right. Grrr...so I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't know a whole lot about the ISU-UNI set up...

griff, sounds like a lot of training issues

Griff --

I think your observations of the ticket dept having issues are completly unfounded. There are at least 25% of the D-III programs in this country that would kill for our coordination and efficiency.

[unigriff]

they look professional and do a great job for the most part at what they do...just little things. I hate it when my perfectionist ego comes out. Sorry.

you don't need your paper ticket. if you've claimed a ticket on UNItix, it will be scanned on your card.
