Attendance For Purdue

[Jake]

I think we’re looking at 30-32k actual fannies in the dome Saturday. Plenty to get it loud. It will be a late arriving crowd…as per usual with nooners.

alot of the casuals i have spoken to are still extremely cynical about the team. we still have a long road ahead of us for catching the eye of these types. theyve gone to enough games and been let down the last 2 decades, i do understand there skepticism. we pay extremely close attention to whats going on , we understand the product this year. i had a group of approximately 16 agreeing to go a day after the louisville game saturday. That number quickly dropped to 3 people once it came time to cough up the money and set the plan in stone. The thing that kills me is that if i could just get them in the parking lot of sky top and show them how fun it is to tailgate and then go watch a great game they would immediately be converted. Im already 1 for one in that scenario this year.

I think group rate tix start at 15

They might be surprisingly cheap

Call the Box Office tomorrow. I think they have 2 tickets for $20 special running through Tuesday.

It’s $20 per ticket.

42 or 43 ??? Is this based on inside knowledge or is it a complete guess. It certainly doesn’t look like it today . But with the ND package tickets it is very hard to tell from week to week.

I doubt we get anywhere close to 42 or 43, I thought mid 30s actual attendance but even that might be a stretch.

I called them last Saturday and you wanna have a good laugh, he told me 24$ a ticket for a group over 15… later that day I go onto stub hub and guess how much individual tickets are in my section…. 24$ lol! You can get similar tickets to that 20$ deal for 9$ on stubhub.

we need to win the coin toss, receive the kickoff and milk a 10-minute drive to buy time.

Looks like a gorgeous day with temps in the high 70s, don't know if this will help or hurt attendance.

One thing I do know is the weather will be glorious to tailgate with the wonderful folks at the Fine Mess Enrique's SyraCRUZ Tailgate!!!

Fall golf is the best, noon kickoffs suck

I definitely sympathize with people who work Monday - Friday. I have Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays off and have zero issues getting tee times. I always golf during the week. Usually Tuesdays or Wednesday morning.

I’ve heard so many complaints about weekend golf (being pushed, slow play, crunched tee times etc). Even on weekdays here during track season it’s really crowded. Weekends would be a nightmare.

I don’t doubt your numbers , there is a variable with the ND plus one and two packages. Louisville there were more people then I thought from Ticketmaster map I looked at Saturday afternoon. I think the package deals make it hard to guess. With Syracuse off to a good start we will get more SU fans buying these and less of the ever delusional band wagoner Irish fans. “We are Marshall “ !!!

I'll be there. Just informed my kids teachers that I'll be pulling them out of school a couple hours early on Friday for a "family event" in Syracuse. That family event is going 3-0. Don't judge my parenting.

So you're starting the tailgate Friday afternoon... all the way through to the noon kickoff on Saturday? Major respect if you're RVing it.

If by "starting the tailgate" you mean driving up from Maryland Friday afternoon/evening, stopping at Applebees to eat (only place my kids like that isn't fast food), and having to make bathroom breaks every hour, then thank you I appreciate the respect.

For some reason I thought you were local.

They'll remember that time Dad took them out of school to go on a trip, FAR MORE than a couple missed classes. Bravo.

 

[zjscuse]

Such a classic scene and a realistic dramatization of me trying to sell people on going to the game lol

Does purdue travel well?

As a retired teacher I have to very firmly tell you ……………..well done !

This is exactly how I was raised and I turned out...

great?

Idk but apparently their drum doesn't. There goes 10 ticket sales at least.

The bourbon steak is pretty good

Another slow day of movement.

Hopefully tomorrow and definitely by Thursday night into Friday there is a more discernable movement

No sir. We moved down here from Syracuse in 2008. And I still have no idea how to properly eat a blue crab. I burn more calories getting frustrated than I do actually consuming crab meat.
