Final Count on New Season Ticket Sales

[TexanMark]

It should be. I want that list on my desk by the end of the day.

Just asking to be sure: you work next to this guy?

 

[Chip]

Gotta throw divorce in there too as a reason.

One of them doesn't keep the tickets? Am I the only one who saw the first 10 minutes of Wedding Crashers and knows how this process works?

 

[Chip]

And if nonstudents left their tailgates earlier then Dino and the team would see coming out of the tunnel something in the stands to really be excited over too.

The 7:30 pm start for Clemson should help. I think.

Someone please lift me up and carry me to my seat on time. Couple slaps to my face and your work is done.

If we have ESPN Game Day...I'm wondering where I can curl up and nap around 1pm to get my second wind? Have to ask the bottle collectors that come through our lot. I'm sure they know a couple good stairwells on campus.

Red Bull sales will be strong that day.

It's one of those days where you have to go with the watered down light beer over the 9% IPA.

Marathon, not a sprint.

Will the lots be open early that day do you think? I mean if Maryland can cancel an entire day of classes surely we can open our lots a few hours earlier on a Saturday???

I personally would rather alternate water with my 9% than drink only beer that tastes like water lol

That being said, you are correct. Slow and steady stays upright

After about the 14th light beer, you can't taste the difference anymore.

Bottom Line: In a region of the country where the economy is not necessarily booming, while attendance rates throughout the p5 and college football are at best uncertain and concerning, Syracuse football is potentially going to increase it’s average attendance (again) by 15% while boasting a between 90-95% season ticket renewal rate.

Heard yesterday that season tickets will be mailed out the week of August 15th.

Couple of ESF buildings have no swipe access on Saturdays and have comfy couches, worth a try.

So much Utica Club will be consumed at Fine Mess that afternoon. So much. Jeremy will be disgusted.

I can understand that but I think this is where you and I fundamentally disagree. I don't believe sports are inherently supposed to be family friendly. Just 9% of college football viewers are under the age of 18, obviously even less are under the age of 14 (which I'm arbitrarily designating as the age where cuss words are no longer abnormal to hear used). Do chants containing expletives necessarily enhance my viewing experience? Probably only minimally at best (good for a chuckle or two), but overtly banning them for less than 9% of the audience is unnecessary, in my opinion. It just breeds frustration with the many fans who like the tradition. Like it or not, they do contribute to the atmosphere at a stadium. Alabama banned Dixieland Delight and ended up bring it back last year due to the demands of their fans. I'd also argue a majority of fans are made once they are college students than when they are children but that's purely anecdotal from me.

There's been concerted efforts to make everything more family friendly in the past decade, or so, and it has only coincided with decreased fan participation across the board. Correlation does not equal causation but it is just one additional contributing variable. College football, and some other sporting events, tend to be an event where people drink and let loose. You are still more than welcome to bring your kids to the game, I just don't believe it is everyone else's responsibility to regulate what your child hears at a college football game. It's on the adult to explain to their kid they will hear things they are not allowed to say until they're older, when they can make that decision for themselves.

I'm not telling people to not let loose. What I am telling people is that they should not be surprised or disappointed that a university would not actively promote vulgarity in chants/cheers. It makes the university and community look low life.

Regardless of what the numbers say, sporting events have always been intended to be family friendly. Some people deciding to get drunk and use vulgarity doesn't change that. Regardless, why does anyone want to suggest we do chants that exclude people from participating. As an adult, I chose not to take part in the chant when it became vulgar. This whole discussion began when people suggested we start things that encourage participation from the fans and has become a debate about whether we should have organized vulgarity at the exclusion of part of the fanbase. Doesn't it make sense to promote organized chants that include as many people as possible, child and adult? Is it really that difficult for people to refrain from foul language for the occasional organized chant and save it instead for their spontaneous reactions throughout the game?

Notice, I have never suggested people should be required to stop swearing at games to "regulate what your kids hear." It has never been about what the kids hear. It has been about what kids, and adults that choose to not use vulgarity, can participate in. I don't understand how this has been lost on people. I have said organized chants should be kept clean enough for maximum participation and any expectation that the university should do otherwise is foolish. I am confident that if you were able to corner Dino or Wildhack and get their honest opinion they would agree.

My tailgate is starting around noon. Guess I should keep the jars of “Apple Pie” under wraps until closer to game time.

 

[TexanMark]

Students are allowed to be vulgar...it is what they do

Families of little kids can get seats up in the Top's sections

If you are bringing that, just tell your wife you'll be sleeping in your car after the game.

A couple years ago, one of the group in my party let a ref know how he felt about a bad call. He used several -bombs and a few other colorful words. A week later he got a letter from Syracuse University advising him to stop using this kind of language because they are trying to promote a good family atmosphere at the dome. He was told his season ticket would be pulled.

That stuff is ridiculous. My aunt makes it -- dangerous!!!!

It’s why we have Uber and Lyft !

It can be but you can easily change the dosage of Everclear to make it a little less deadly.

One of the guys showed up in Saratoga this year with a cooler full of Genny Cream Ale and Utica Club.

I increased my life insurance when I got home.

 

[nzm136]

Fans of a team don't make comments like " does Syracuse have a single good player on their team? followed by... " no.. the ACC is trash in football"
i literally pulled my car over while ubering these idiot students and schooled the hell out of them. One thing i cannot stand is people who claim to be fans and at the same time know nothing about the sport.

And that, kids, is how you guarantee a 1 star rating.

Don’t get me wrong, I love you for it, and I love your passion. But I don’t see that approach translating well to others.
