If an Orange Out brings people in green and purple, how is this going to work?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

They left out platinum.

This kind of thing works better with small 6-8k seat arenas. I'll be surprised if they break 20k butts-in-seats attendance for the ND game.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It works better when they give you the t-shirts.

Knowing SU, they would hand out all "Mediums".

 

[HoustonCuse]

If last night's game was any indication, they better start painting the seats.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I like this concept, but it requires way too much planning on the part of the fan.

Unless they give a shirt.

Loved the stripes idea, skeptical they'll get enough of the fanbase to buy in, but this is the "attention to detail" problem with SUAD rearing its ugly head again:

For the conference game that'll have the most empty seats, why would the section with all the orange seat backs not be designated the orange stripe section?!

Stupid.

 

[Chip]

Judging by the highlights I saw last night, they should just paint the seat backs accordingly.

 

[UnknownOrange]

This.... isn't going to work.

 

[Cuse12]

This... isn't going to work.

Not even gonna be close to working. Only works if you supply the shirts on every seat

Agree, these things are a reach and never work unless you want to go big boy and have the shirts on the seats when fans arrive. Is that actually the case here?

 

[Herkimercus]

If last night's game was any indication, they better start painting the seats.

Agree, sadly, there weren't over 16k fans actually there. Looked like the lemoyne exhibition crowd.

 

[Eric15]

Eh I dunno, I think the Dome looks way cooler when it's sea of Orange for these Duke-type games.

It's going to look like some type of NCAA regional game with different pockets of crowd colors.

Was the person who came up with this idea bored? If you're bored, FIX THE BANNERS. THEY SUCK.

 

[DoubleDee]

FIX THE BANNERS. THEY SUCK.

DILLY DILLY!!

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Maybe famous alumni Dave Jacobs will offer a deal. Buy one get one free if you pay cash. However the free one is never the one you want.

It looked like about 5-6k.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

It works better when they give you the t-shirts.

Knowing SU, they would hand out all "Mediums".

Worst....promo....ever.

Especially when 25% of the crowd could be rooting for Duke or UNC.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have much white in my winter wardrobe. If SU doesn’t provide the shirts it will be a disaster.

I can only assume they’re doing this because of the stripes on the uniforms and the stripes on the side of the court?

White t-shirt over the top of a long sleeve shirt.

Oregon football publishes what amounts to a wardrobe calendar in the summer, which tells fans what colors to wear, in which section, for each game.

But Oregon fans have school spirit. SU fans aren't long on that.

[310Pigpen]

Don’t care what color my section is for any of these games. I’ll be in Orange.

 

[Toga]

How about in cursive?
