Ohio Attendance

This may help answer your question.

I can hear arteries hardening from here.

I think that physicians should add a few questions to the annual check up.

Have you ever attended a State Fair
When was the last time you attended one?

Otto is making an appearance at Indian Village Sunday at 4 p.m. to celebrate lacrosse tradition with SU Coach Gary Gait.

As someone who lives out of town and has only been to the NY state fair once - in 1985 to see The Band and CSN - what is the allure of the fair? What is there to see and do?

Eat a lot of regional foods and ice cream, lots of beer, wines, regional liquors.

The farming stuff is pretty neat (seriously), lots of 4H and FFA type of things, really shows off the diversity of the state.

Some of the exhibit halls are just off-beat (selling hot tubs in the middle of a flower show) but a lot of it is pretty ok.

Stayed far away from the rides.

American Indian village stuff was cool, test your lax speed and other stuff.

People watching has its moments for sure.

 

[Bayside44]

It’s mainly for a boost in your own personal self esteem from the people watching. But it does also make me wanna buy stock in motorized scooters

So many scooters!

 

[Cusefan69]

Allot of adult centric Fair responses. If you have kids it's pretty straightforward. Parents work during the week and will hit the Fair on the weekends.

I do get puzzled why driving a scooter means you get to push people out of the way when the crowd is busy and not just go slow like the walkers have to do.

Clarkson ‘82 here. Can confirm, RIT had us beat in that department. So did everyone else.

But the hockey team killed it back then!

I think it's vital that the students show up. Fill that end of the Dome, create an atmosphere, get the win so the freshmen want to come back. If they don't show up, that is going to be a sterile, non-intimidating environment, and it's going to make the decision to clear the season ticket holders out of that end look foolish.

Also, it's infuriating when the 100 level season ticket holders don't show up. That is a hideous look. It makes moot all of our talk about the number of season tickets sold.

My friend was looking at 300 level seats for Georgia Tech, and the far corners were going for about 18 bucks.

So many scooters!

And many of those using them can walk just fine. Disney is the same. Fat and lazy.

 

[upperdeck]

my rough count is that since mid july when the tickets opend up they havent sold 500

 

[rrlbees]

Grad 1978, lucky I had a girl friend who became my wife. 46 years of married life. Best friend forever

‘78 here also.

I don't think we will know anything about what attendance will be like this season until the GT game, or possibly later. This is a new product and people are cynical.

Gt winning and SU playing well week 1 will help

Today on XM the guys had the Ohio game as their best pick vs the spread this week.

Great years for hockey for sure. Hockey and $1 pitchers at the Whiskey One got us through the long winters.

Did they pick SU to cover or Ohio?

 

[UpstateSM]

I'll be there with a group of 15 or so that's all I know

They haven’t even sold 500 student tickets?

 

[TexanMark]

I’ve gone the last few years when in town for games. I find the people watching to be enjoyable and splurging on absurd carnival / fair food. Beyond that it’s a fair. I could go for a few hours and be content. Not sure I’d ever want to go more than once a year at most.

Yup...I get my fix in about 3-4 hours. I don't do the midway.

 

[TexanMark]

Ticketmaster updated map with three plus me offer this morning - way more available seats than was showing before on home upper sides.

It is obvious they hold back whole rows in the upper sections. I hope they offer reduced season tickets after Ohio.

What? Student tickets are completely different and aren't publicly available to view.

500 tickets sold since they opened up single game ticket sales is what the poster is referring to.

Haha! I was in Jr. High back then, but my friends' uncle had season tickets and he used to take us to the games all the time. Loved the old arena. It got raucous!
