I know this article is kind of a marketing ploy to get people excited about the bowl coming up.  That being said, I really liked the comments about Coach Wilson.  http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2015/12/13/FB_1213155859.aspx

I guess it is not quite as bad as I thought, though.  I thought sections 26-30 were student seats as well.   I also have to remember the "alumni" side of the stadium is quite a bit taller.  So capacity wise maybe 30 - 35% is student?  I thought closer to 45%.

The student section is almost 1/2 the stadium. I don't remember having to buy football tickets to get basketball tickets.  That could have been the case, though.  I just know football games were some of the most fun I had as a college student.  I enjoyed those Saturday's even better than basketball games. Mainly because it was an all day thing.  We started with a screwdriver breakfast, tailgate for a while.  Then the game.  Then almost always a party that night!

Yes I was going back to that time period.  I think back then, it was easier to get fans to the game.  There were not nearly the choices to watch as there are now.  Big Screen TV's were an anamoly.  The internet didn't exist. The TV production was basically one view of the field the entire game.  If we could not sell out consistently then, I don't think we will be able to consistently sell out the stadium today. The basketball was certainly a lot better then, but the season hadn't started until the last week or so of the season, so I don't think BB ever played much of a factor.

I sent a message to the President of the NYC IU Alumni Club this morning.  He will be updating the IU Alumni Association Facebook page with details on events for Hoosiers before and after the game.  If I find anything out, I will also come and post details here.  Hope we have a great crowd.

I always thought capacity was in the 60's. After the north end zone. After hearing the capacity then we have a big problem with people buying tickets and not going to the game. Because the stadium most times doesn't even look 1/2 full. :). Thanks for the correction. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am not sure IU will ever consistently fill the stadium   We didn't do it when we had the short history of winning, so not sure we can do it now.   I do think we can consistently get in the mid to high 50's for attendance, and I think that would be pretty darn good.  I would really like to see us get where students have a problem getting tickets, as that would mean we have changed the culture for good, and means that football is finally a fore thought instead of an after thought.

Well, I have my CC permit, but being as I work in a school, I do not carry very often; as it is illegal.  When I carry it is a Sig P290.  In regards to other guns, at last count there were 20 in my house.  The vast majority being different rifles and shotguns for hunting.  (According to my wife I officially reached the "Gun Nut" level two years ago.) I admit to being a little concerned as to the number of people in my state that have gotten the permit, based on Wisconsin's training requirements.  IMO opinion they did the dumbest thing possible by requiring hunter safety as a valid training for carrying a handgun.  Hunter Safety does absolutely nothing in regards to preparing someone to shoot it is all about carrying a gun safely.  Oh well, I digress. :) Add on to what Alaska Hoosier said, go get some real training.  There is a huge difference in hitting a target at a range, vs knowing when to shoot, and being able to shoot under duress.

No that is probably reserved for the Cooks or someone that donates a lot of money! That would be pretty cool, though.

I'll be there.  Got my apartment all lined up next to Central Park!  No idea what section I'll be in.    The IU ticket office is great.  I originally bought the tickets under my account for my father and I.  After I bought them I learned the tickets will be handed out based on priority points.  Well my Dad has been a season ticket holder for almost 30 years so needless to say he has a lot more points than I.  I called the ticket office, and they switched the tickets from my account to his!  Hopefully that means A LOT better seat.

You and I are certainly of the same generation, because I started thinking about my list, and when I got to yours, you saved me a lot of typing!

My Dad and I are as well!

Sounds like a plan. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I just booked my flights and bought my tickets for my Father and I to watch the Hoosiers play in NYC!!!   He is 78 years old.  He was hoping for a warm weather bowl, but he figures he may not get another chance! :)

Just saw that Suds aaccepted an offer to play in the East West Shrine game this evening.

There was some amazing basketball played the last couple of nights.  

I think you are still overly optimistic.  I would say after what I saw tonight, we are a bottom of the B1G and maybe 80 - 90 range.  We certainly have personnel that should make us better, but the whole of the team is much less than the sum of it's parts. 

On an unrelate note  the Iowa vs Floria State game is a goo one. 

Turning this one off.  Goo night all.

I think in honor of our basketball team BTown Banners shoul ban the use of the letter "D".  If no " " is goo enough for our team it shoul be goo enough for us. :(
