Hmmmmmmmm wonder if this might be a sign of something coming back next season

They’re bringing sexy back?

I really hope so. We need more stuff like that to develop into traditions.

Really hoping we get to meet the players on the field again. that was a highlight Of previous spring games (until last year) that built lasting memories for kids.

That’s what I’m hoping & praying for! It will be my 1st Spring Game & my daughters are super excited. They were wowed at their 1st basketball game against ND this year.

The host of No Destination podcast has talked about fans being able to meet the players on the field this year…fingers crossed.

I’m also an REALLY hoping this happens.

Usually the biggest highlight from the spring game and builds lifetime fans

How is everyone feeling about Attendance for this? Anyone heard anything? My gut says a bigger crowd than normal but slightly disappointing.

Disappointing depends on what your expectation is. As someone who's never really concerned myself with attendance numbers, especially for a scrimmage, I'll only be disappointed if I can't make it.

5th year wedding anniversary is Sat. My wife has embraced SU football and gives every Sat/Sun during the fall to the pigskin. She understands we don't schedule events during home games and supports iphone/ipad viewing of away games if we have to go to a a birthday party or something. She's the reason we pay 3x as much for tickets as we used to and moved to the lower bowl. That said, she's not giving up Sat. Have fun all.

 

[Trueblue25]

Anything above 5,000 is a win

 

[MSOrange]

Just got an email that Orange United members will get exclusive field access prior to kickoff. Members check-in at the top of section 122 and will receive wristbands and further instructions.

I'd temper expectations for that.

We're not doing a tailgate, are we?

I’ve heard the football team may be attending the men’s lacrosse game to show their support. Probably only the first 20-30 minutes before they return to the facility for a pre-game meal.

I’ve also heard the team and staff will return to the Dome around 5:15. Only this time instead of entering the Dome on the south side along Forestry Drive as they’ve done previously, I’m hearing the team and staff will be dropped off near the Quad and walk thru the Quad to the Dome.

A lot of teams do “team walks” through their fans on their way to their stadiums on game day. Sounds like Coach Fran is trying to do something like this at Cuse. I love it.

Nothing but DETAILS, Accountability, Relentlessness and Toughness from Coach Fran.

I don’t know if I’ll be there for the start of the lacrosse game, but I will be near the Quad to support the team as they show up.

Will you be there?

 

[bigmike]

Wish I could be there, but will be tuned in from my home for the festivities. Really looking forward to seeing the team show out.

 

[storange]

I will be there . Grob had a quad walk. It was well attended his opening game vs WV . As you might have guessed, the#s soon declined

 

[OrangeFreek]

Overheard this morning about 12,000

 

[ChrisCourt]

Looking forward to witnessing this spectacle Saturday night with friends, it'll be good to see some old faces as well. GO ORANGE!!

12,000 tickets distributed?

Strong distro number, but with free tickets generally that results in a show rate of around 50%

I would think this would be a higher show rate than that. These aren't your typical free tickets, everyone had to actually make an effort to "purchase" them online. And the spring game typically draws the more dedicated fans. If someone went through the effort to get the tickets, chances are they're going to this game

If we get 6000 iId be thrilled

Doesn't really matter that you had to "claim" them.

In the eyes of a customer, there's no monetary loss/penalty if they don't use them.

 

[ChrisCourt]

I anticipate between 5-7k

To that point, I got tickets last year knowing the likelihood I would be able to make it was slim and I ended up not being able to go.

 

[JRHEETER]

And to think Alabama has 72k at its spring game

 

[storange]

Hoping there is a Fran Brown factor, maybe 60 or 70 % attend , we will see .
