Duke attendance thread

[JRHEETER]

ACC TV slots can vary wildly from week to week so its hard to say what's left for that Sat. The good news is to Fri night games so the ACC may have only 1 or 2 Noon slots versus the 3 to 5 they usually have.

The bad news is that 6:30 slot is already gone, could have seen that being a good time for this game.

GT @ Duke feels like an ESPN network( 1 2 or whatever) at Noon or the ACC prime 7/8 slot.

I agree on Uconn and BC boy that screams Noon if any game could. BC plays PItt on Sat the 4th, interesting game on a number levels including our potential TV slot. BC then plays Clemson on the 11th.

Id still have to figure our best bet is likely another Noon game which sucks but feel inevitable unless the ACC only has one Noon slot that week which seems unlikely.

There is no way they were going to put Pitt vs Cuse on CW.

I think this may potentially be destined for an espn, espn 2 situation. I think it’s a 3:30 as I’m going to guess they will put SMU at Clemson as the noon spot because they’ll want the most eyeballs competing against big noon.

On the flip side, if we beat Duke this week, they could see Syracuse as being the most coveted game against a rival that week and that would put us at…you guessed it…… noon

In my opinion the seats weren’t that much of an upgrade. Seat hurts the hell out of me and my friends upper back leg. Had a lot more room on the benches

We had more room for sure. But I also don't have 2/3 of my seat gone by people sliding down and squeezing extra people in. Just bring a chair pad like many did anyway with the benches.

My question is would they object if I installed a tv tray on the railing in front of me to store drinks and hot dogs? That would be sweet.

I Agree... Yeah I had more knee room, but guess what most people slouched and kneed you anyhow versus sitting up, now they have to... And the butt slide and man spreading and coat seat saving we use to have to pay for the chairbacks to make sure A**hats didn't encroach on our seats are non existant now, so I gladly take them to the hard bench.

Thanks to all the parents

Those that get up and down 44 times during the first half...then leave until next September

Ironically the ST holders in front of me I think are third generation... there son is at SU, got the grandparents and parents sitting there mostly, and they got like 6 seats to my 4.. Nice peeps even if they had friends just sit in my casually last game.

I don't know why noon is a coveted spot... It barely is enough time to dump my trash on Saturday in redneck country land to even get to the 6AM tailgate... Oh wait, I don't get to dump my trash since I go to that. I would assume 3:30 or 7PM be more preferential timeslots as it allows you to get your daily stuff done and then sit down for the rest of the day.

I think they encourage that, actually. So, yeah, do it!

It’s all about TV and for the networks, the noon spot is the coveted spot and has been for the last couple years

I'm convinced some fans are under the impression that this is a basketball game. This is the most random sellout I've ever seen, but I'll take it! (I know it's Parents Weekend)

I think Parents Weekend is always close to a sellout or 100% sellout even during bad years

Now you’re getting it.

Now you’re getting it.

Back in the 70-80's I'd rather watch Saturday Morning Cartoons... Serious stuff happened after!
