Or they could just ask everyone to sit in the lower bowl since it's mainly empty anyway?

I kid... sorta.


:shocked2: That type of heresy will lead to you being BANNED from MBB games!

You WILL sit in your assigned seat REGARDLESS of actual attendance! :shocked2:
 
I thought the lower bowl was sold out for every game already? I'm confused.


Sold out... likely yes, in the sense that the ticket for those seats are sold.

The confusion lies in the fact that game-to-game, the ticket isn't USED...

As in the 'ticket owner' is NOT Present for the game

I was being very sarcastic with my post. There's no confusion on my part. Its' just ridiculous that I can't buy single-game lower bowl tickets online. I'm going to potentially be in town on 12/28 over the holidays and would like to catch the ISU/WSU game. No lower-bowl tickets available, which is a joke.

I agree -- though I've had fairly good luck with walk-up sales; i ask for lower bowl, I don't think I've ever NOT been able to...

but then the HC ticket office tends to be a hit or miss office imo
 
Since lower bowl seats are considered as being attended if sold and vacant, I see no reason that all seats are considered in attendance. ALL students get free admission. There are more students that seats. All seats are "paid for". Using my logic I can't remember the last time the Hulman Center was not sold out. Seems like students are being told they don't count. Now am I being serious, sarcastic or just rambling? Maybe a little of each?
 
Love the new design. Will add to the east side of the campus.

Yes, I agree.... and West side will be anchored by the new HHS building, remodeled towers, new Annex 41, and more. South has Federal Hall, 500 Wabash, Cherry St Highland Quarters, Tech Bldg, etc. North side has train tracks LOL. Has anyone heard more about the Pedestrian friendly 41 upgrade?

Didn't know where to stick this, but SIU just got the "okay" to start selling beer at football and basketball games. Should be something we keep an eye on to see how it goes.

I think it will go sideways for them if their historical reputation holds true lol

This is depressing. We all know our "deep pocketed alums" won't come forward so the project looks scrapped at this point.

Only in Terre Haute. Would have been nice to have some of that casino money. Oh wait, we can't have that either.

No kidding. I was just in Owensboro, KY a couple of weeks ago and they are doing amazing things in that city. They even have a nice modern convention center in a town that is basically the same size as Terre Haute. If this project falls through, it will be an embarassment and a joke. I'm so sick of this area not being able to finish projects they start. They need to find a way to get this done.

Life in the "fiefdom" can be rough, especially if the peasants keep playing an "out of tune" political fiddle. As I mentioned earlier, the group of TH "lobbyists" that recently went to the Statehouse in an effort to sway a pro-casino vote, were a cavalcade of no-namers STATEWIDE and frankly, failed miserably.

Lots of negatives to take away from the article...BUT one positive is that for the first time ive seen in writing the city, county, and such willing to fork up 25 mil. That is a nice sum for our current financial situation .. The university, big donors, a true alumni frudrasier, and smaller fundraising projects (think children's museum or union hospital brick/tile projects) should be able to come up with 10 million!
