Florida?

You're gonna be able to swing a dead cat and not hit anybody next to you.

There will be fewer fans in the Hump tonight than there were at Auburn Arena last night.

 

[MSUDC11]

It’s not gonna be a good crowd and everybody knows it. But prepare for the shock and outrage anyway.

 

[ToxicTimberDawg]

I’m going so I guess I can complain if we lose? I think that’s how it works here.

I would really like to understand who owns all of these lower bowl seats that never show up? I was at the OM game this past Saturday and most of the upper bowl had less empty seats than the lower bowl. I sure wish I had money to throw around on something I never plan to use.

If you give a lot of money to the football program, you get lower level basketball tickets whether you use them or not. I know 2 different people that have 4 seats each and never go.

Cohen probably secretly hates basketball because it could potentially take away excitement for baseball season**

Seriously, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If they actually do that then they just need to relinquish oversight responsibilities for Men's basketball and let a third party company run it. Really doesn't surprise me though after all the other decisions that have happened in the past 10 years - reseating, gimmicky gameday atmosphere, parking/traffic situation and now the Hump renovation.

Its getting to where it reminds me of the seating issue we had with Dudy Noble before the rebuild where we had games with fairly full outfield and bleacher sections but very, very few in the grandstands.

Seat selection is probably based on overall BDC rank, which of course is related to how much you give to the football program, as well as other athletics. Football probably amounts to the largest donations that most people have, however. Seats only change during re-seating time, or when somebody gives up a seat.

Presumably they'll re-seat the Hump whenever they finish with the renovations that haven't even started yet.

 

[Shmuley]

I think my 4,500 guesstimate may be too high.

 

[Xenomorph]

Had? Nothing has changed regarding seating at The Dude.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Based on tv, you are about 2517 to high.

We can only hope. They really need to get the students more than just behind the goal. Put them around the whole lower level for the first few rows - except behind the benches. That can be where the club goes.
