8000....plus

I just got my ticket at Shea and the employee said "ticket sales are very strong, over 8K". I think we'll get 10K tonight... The chance of rain by 6PM is only 15%, so everyone drape yourself in red, go get your walk-up ticket, and be loud!

(Also, give me a wave if you know me tonight, as this is the end of the line for me.)

Oh I'm a Brave for life... I just have to go to graduate school far, far away.

I did not think you were ever going to leave... Oh well, next year is my super senior year.

Every Bradley fan deserves a super senior year!

Well, I hope for your sake they have good pizza where you are going.... cause if Papa John's is the best of your choices, you're in trouble my friend. Just IMO.

First- note that Bradley's average home crowd is about 10,000 fans, so a crowd of 8,000 or 9,000 is still small by the usual standards.

Exactly. This season we were third in the Valley for overall regular season attendance, averaging 10,019. We finished second in the Valley for conference game attendance, averaging 10,440.

Not bad for a school with just 6,100 students.

Hahaha it's not my favorite, either MM... But I'll gladly take it for free! Cheap beer + cheap pizza + postseason basketball = no complaints... As far as the future, one potential location does, one location doesn't... We'll see if I'm eating good stuff or bad stuff as I gripe about Braves.tv!

From the PJS.....

As the ticket office closed Monday, about 8,000 tickets had been sold.

GREAT NEWS Shaunguth! Hey,You provide great stats and info. I hope you never leave.
For a computer geek, U R Alright!

The excitement is building......bring on ODU. With the rain out of the picture the crowds at Shea are looking good and now the walkups should do better also.

Come on 10,000........YOU CAN DOOOO IT.

Can we match the NOISE of the last BU/ODU game......it would take a mamouth effort. That one ranked right up there with the BU/Tulsa game where BU was down something like 16-18 at half and came ROARING back against Shea Seals and gang lead by AP.

The ISU vs BU Valley title game was also quite loud........my ears are still rining from the Michigan State game but it seems comebacks usually get us the loudest.

How about last year vs Bubba and Ohio.....

THAT was insane.

Grassman...I cocncur but you DO realize that if you use the symbols "U" and "R" to denote "you are" that ALSO puts you in the computer "geek" category.

[dogsrus]

THAT was insane.

I wondered IF the less then sold out crowd made the arena have some special sound effects as the noise level just seemed unreal for what....7k?

What I really enjoyed was watching my golf/BU/beer buddy RicK LeHew jawwing with bubba from the frontrow......scoreboard.

MSU game last year is in my books legendary, and stands out the most. I could feel the floor vibrating under me from the noise.
