Unless that Union game is a placeholder for the LP event. There is an opening on that weekend, but that's no guarantee that it will happen.



Because #26 needs the revenue. Although it'd be interesting if they made it a game at the TUC with the night-cap (or game before) be a Devils game, and have some kind of 2-fer deal. Heck, it'd really be something if they could time it with the Devils playing Springfield: York vs. Kincaid!

This would be something to consider. It might be the only way the TU gets more than 1,500 (actual arses in the seats) for a Devils game.

One other thing to consider: about 20 bucks per game. I realize that's what the price also is in Syracuse (not sure about other locations), but that may also have something to do with it. But yea, a $20-$25 deal for Devils and RPI/Union, you could probably get a good number into the arena.

BTW, as a point of comparison, when RPI/Union played a NC game in Halloween of 2009, it sold out. Also, during the first two Governor's Cups, over 4000 attendance. The third Governor's Cup did not give an attendance for the RPI/Union game. I realize that RPI doesn't sell out the Union game (of course we have more than double the capacity), but that's not to say people probably wouldn't come out.

This countdown is beginning to remind me of Bottles of Beer on the wall.

Funny you should mention that....

I know that BUMP stands for Bring Up My Post.

So if we want to Bring Up Ralph's Post...

The Devils actually average about 3100 people/game, not too shabby for their first year in the area!

I went to one Devils game this year, and attendance wasn't even close to that. Can't remember if that was the Atlantic City weekend or when Union was playing Colgate; may have been the latter.

I would have been concerned if he had said he wanted to be a nittany lion.

RB, let me pose that question to you. If you were an animal, what would you be?

ACTUAL ARSES IN THE SEATS.....not tix sold. Friends & I would always get a kick out of looking at the box-score the day after attending a Devil's game and seeing, att; 3,100 or 2,500 or whatever # knowing there was probably 1/2 that. I hope it can get back to the days in the early/mid 90's where there WERE 10-12,00 in the arena.

In this economy you won't see that unless they give the tickets away and maybe even reimburse attendees for gas mileage People are simply cutting back where they can.

I believe an apology is in order from Ralph to me when he tried to correct me and say that Pat wasn't going to the combine. See Ralph you're not always right.

That says nothing about the combine.

I'd say the fact remains.
