It's my only hope.If you hang in there long enough, it might become a uniform thread!

Not salty about the locals at all.Really hate to see anyone putting locals and students against each other.. every college fanbase needs both. I don’t think anyone on here is “against” the students, people are just upset about having to be moved.
Honestly, I think you seem to be salty towards locals judging by some of your posts. Just my two cents.
Please read my post a second time; I purposefully gave them props and further stated that I wasn’t knocking them. I even said that filling all those sections was a big ask.Not salty about the locals at all.
But let's not pretend that people are ALWAYS against the students on this board. Attendance threads start with "the students didn't show up" or "the students left early" or "the students didn't show up on time".
You saying "they need to tarp the section" is very much against the students when other sections were unsold for multiple games last season.
Don't the students usually wear a T-shirt of the Week instead of a Jersey? I'm also ok with the coeds that wear just a bra or bandana.If you hang in there long enough, it might become a uniform thread!
Lol let's call the "variety of factors" what it is. It's that they were $100 tickets.
And let's not pretend that the locals haven't been against the students forever. I remember posts back on the scout board complaining about the same things that get complained about now. Put a winning product on the field, and students AND locals will stay in their seats for the entire game.

I assume the band will be 100 levelIf the students were filling the lower bowl which they were and spilling up to the upper bowl which they were a few games a yr and you then remove 20% of the seats then that spill over is going to happen more often.
One question is how many seats were in the lower bowl before vs now
because the band is in the same situation of filling up more seats than before when they could squeeze in.
the students may not fill the upper endzone but it wont look nearly the same with blue seats as it did with silver benches even if half full.
is the band going to be mostly using the lower bowl now anyway?
Tell that to my tickets that just got displaced that cost pre individual seating of $225 a piece. (Don’t worry I get it, still probably a value) but let’s not act like all the seats in the lower bowl that are getting displaced are cheap “$100” seats.
Also think it’s a bit unfair to judge people by their seat cost. Perhaps they’ve chosen those seats for other reasons. You also have no idea how much the people have donated. Just because they bought “cheap seats” doesn’t mean they have not donated significant $$$. As I said, sometimes people pick seats for other things than price.
As far as the schedule goes, I give props to the AD for getting a desperately needed 7th home game and flipping the schedule around with UCONN, UNLV.
However, for us to be a P5/P4 team with no home games in October for the second year in a row is a huge knock. We also will only have 6 homes games for the next few years as it looks now. Hopeful the AD can make some changes like they did this year to make 26/27 7 home game seasons.
Adjusting the schedule to get a 7th home game this year is a nice job by the AD's office. But the people taking a victory lap are missing the fact that to do that SU is now playing a 2 for 3 game deal with not Notre Dame or Penn State but freaking Uconn. SU also now has 5 home games for 2026. Clearly they will try to get a home replacement for Army but unless ND is here 2026 that would still only give us 6 home games after having only 6 in 25. .
Exactly why waiting until the last minute for scheduling is not ideal
Despite what some might think
We currently have a full slate scheduled up until 2027, where we have 2 games already scheduled (UConn & PSU) and one of the unscheduled games is an FCS team.Exactly why waiting until the last minute for scheduling is not ideal

With the uncertainty surrounding college athletics, things could change at any time. Having a completed 4 game schedule for 2027/2028 doesn't make a ton of sense right now.
It’s a 2/2 and always has been a 2/2 unless I’m missing something. They announced a 4 game series and now it’s:Adjusting the schedule to get a 7th home game this year is a nice job by the AD's office.

With the empty blue seats, how will this affect our players when they wear Blue uniforms and blend in?If you hang in there long enough, it might become a uniform thread!
We had 6 games for next year yesterday and 7 today. A lot will change between now and 2026Yes having 5 home games for 2026 makes a lot of sense too!
You’re right!

Easy fix. Wear the platinum unisWith the empty blue seats, how will this affect our players when they wear Blue uniforms and blend in?

I've never understood this aversion to silver. Empty seats are empty seats. Not fooling anybody unless we have "blue outs".the students may not fill the upper endzone but it wont look nearly the same with blue seats as it did with silver benches even if half full.
Thought they were just getting the lower endzone?I just hope that end zone can be partially tarped off somewhat when it is inevitably empty, particularly in down years. Not going to look good on TV with FG kicks.
Not a knock on Otto’s Army, they have been great. But all of those seats, consistently, is a big ask.
I get it...they are committed to individual seats. Just looking out for the students100% non starter in the AD's office.
Great tailgate that dayYour missing 2022 @ Uconn.
