Upper deck Prudential
- Thread starter RU72
- Start date
Lol what a bunch of turds.
Either make the call to open it up a month ago or don’t open it at all.
Unbelievable. We bend over backwards to skip last year's game so SHU can have a home game with fans this season, and they turn around and screw us.
They're scared. And they should be. This is R state. Not Mother Seton's home for wayward boys (and girls). They can all go to Hall!
Another reason they are South Orange Community College.
Small time thinking from a small time school. They're afraid of letting more Rutgers fans into the building? Absolutely pathetic.
For such a righteous fan base, they aren’t exactly the most confident bunch that their fans will buy tickets
Has to kill them that they beat No. 7 Texas last night and the Ledger was filled with articles of RU’s upset of No. 1 Purdue! I think they mentioned the Halls win on page 7. 
Their AD turned his back on much needed revenues for their athletic department
Disappointing.
If they start selling upper level tickets a month ago it would have easily been worth it and profitable for them .
They could still open up 4 sections on each side of center court in the 100 level at $50 a pop and they would all sell by game time.

They are legitimate afraid of an RU takeover. Because they open the top for uconn and nova
From article I read today
When Seton Hall’s schedule was finalized in the early fall, tickets for all games went up for public sale except one — the Rutgers game. For that one, tickets were sold internally only (to alumni and those with close ties to the school) until the past couple of weeks, when some became available on the secondary market.
just wanna keep RU fans out of the rock

Or go and try to buy from scalpers or check with the box office for last minute ticket availability
If all else fails watch at Redds Beergarden next door to The Rock.
You mean like the this…Has to kill them that they beat No. 7 Texas last night and the Ledger was filled with articles of RU’s upset of No. 1 Purdue! I think they mentioned the Halls win on page 7.
I hate to go this way but idk how this wasn’t negotiated ahead of time by us
Good point above. This is a case of RU did this to SHU at the Rac two years ago and now they are pulling the same stunt.
The Ledger is still a thing?Has to kill them that they beat No. 7 Texas last night and the Ledger was filled with articles of RU’s upset of No. 1 Purdue! I think they mentioned the Halls win on page 7.
Who cares, our program has hit rock bottom and needs to fire Pikiell to get to the next level. Glad I took the board’s advice and stopped following prior to yesterday’s game.
Let’s be honest. Do you think RU would add 2000 seats to the RAC’s normal capacity with the option for Seton Hall fans to buy up a ton of the tickets if that was possible? It’s a rivalry game!
If both schools want a true event every year, let the game happen every year at Prudential Center and sell 50/50 tickets and open up the entire arena......some rivalry border games have done this in recent years or years past.
Illinois vs Missouri was be played in St Louis
Kentucky vs Indiana was in Indianapolis.
The harsh reality is SHU juices the RU game, Nova game and now the UConn games for all that it's worth. They make some money off of these 3 games and I assume they did well with Texas as a name-brand opponent last night.
At the end of the day, I am not terribly concerned about the gate situation at Prudential, there are relatively good seats in the lower bowl.....
But it is really not the RAC.....the RAC is the building that rocks and rolls....I can wait until next year for the home return. If RU fans have extras for Sunday night, I will definitely find a home for them....it is probably going to be another fun night.

Agree this should have 100% been something worked out after what happened last year.
Why would RU negotiate for SHU to collect more gate $ ?
Maybe they would negiotate for more dedicated away team tickets.
Agree that having a SHU guy as our AD bit us here. As part of us giving them the home game after they cancelled the game on us last year running and hiding, Hobbs absolutely should have said if we play at the Rock you open the upper deck or we don’t play.
...and Seton Hall said "no." Which is their "right" as the home team, unfortunately, not much Hobbs could do here.
Yes. Absolutely. It would still be overwhelmingly RU fans.
That's why SHU are such p*ssies. They know they will lose their home court advantage.
Mostly irrelevant school with an occasional pretty good basketball team. shu doesn’t matter.
Oh boo hoo! It's a rivalry game. This is part of it. These kinds of slights make it that much more intense.
Every single poster would want Rutgers to do the same thing SHU is doing. People would want Hobbs head if he chose revenue over having a home court.
I dunno if we had 10,000 additional seats to open up and let our own students sit up there I would at least extend the same offer to the opposing teams student body.
Both schools used to do that every year and the visitors would send a couple busses of students up until Rutgers decided to end it 2 years ago and block SHU fans out instead. This is just SHU returning the favor. I agree, I would like to see it get back to how it used to be.
I could be wrong, but it seems like SHU has been trying way harder to control the tickets to this game and had a harder time selling out vs. at Rutgers 2 years ago. Obviously different situations with the arena size.
I would be fine with giving SHU students a small section in the 300 level.
It’s definitely something that needs to be worked out because it makes the rivalry better.
Two years ago , SHU had a decent student contingent in the 300 level at The RAC
It was 2 years ago, so maybe my memory's foggy, but I don't recall that being the case.
