Bradley completes schedule

[shaunguth]

People don't mind an exhibition game to be played there. Regular season games and post season games should NOT be at a womens arena/mens practice facility when there are 9000 folks that want to see BU play Iowa at an NIT game leaving 4000 out in the cold. Sorry I just don't see the advantages to that and back at ya...nobody has convinced ME thats a good thing.

I have gone even one step further....saying that I don't mind the possibility of a regular season game at the new arena (if the PCC is not available for said game) NEARLY as much as I mind all postseason games taking place there.

I also don't see how NOBODY will be "shut out" of a regular season game at the new arena. That statement just doesn't make much sense to me.

I know some people don't like to look at numbers, but here is what would be available......

4,200 Seats (stated capacity)

- 500 Personal Seat Option ticketing plan ($500 or $1000)

- 600 Reserved for students

- 150 Participating teams' comp lists

= 2,950 Available to the general public

I'm guessing the season ticket holders will be allowed to purchase tickets before the general public, so that doesn't leave much for the "commoners".

Of that 2950 available (and since fewer than 100 PSOs have been sold to date that number as of now is closer to 3350, and doesn't take into account the additional SRO which leaves room for about 4000), less than half would be sold before the week of the event for the types of games that would be played there, based on "loyalty" and the numbers Bradley was using to make this decision.

Even so......I just have a feeling more than 30% of the PCC season tickets will be interested in watching a game at the new arena, could be closer to the 60% that would sell out the new arena. Unless, of course, it's a Sunday game and people would rather watch football.

Which games should be red-outs???

My suggestion --
Make one or more of the Utah, ISU, or UNI games red-outs..
Then maybe throw a White-out or Black out in somewhere also..

If you disagree with that...fine....but keep in mind the majority of people that have opined about this issue stand clearly on the "against" side of this issue.

First of all - I've heard from several posters who appreciate what a few of us have done and that is voice a seemingly unpopular opinion here. There are plenty of people that support this ??“ they just choose not to tussle with you. Remember, just because you are the loudest - doesn't make you right.

It just makes you the most extreme.

So again...YOUR side is the voice of reason while we just pound and pound away and don't concede to that reasoning.

Yes, in this situation. My stance is based on figures, learning, and an open mind. Where yours is based on this feeling that YOU are getting screwed.

I've heard what you have to say (over and over and over) and I've heard what Tornado and Squirrel and others have had to say. Gotta tell you ??“ I??™ve thought about it quite a bit??¦and if you would cool off for a second...you would realize how silly some of your arguments sound.

Between you harping on and on about your uncle being left out in the cold, BU screwing over the good folks that have built the program with their blood, sweat, and cash and Shaunguth??™s endless clambering over syntax in the BU PSO Ticket Plan ??“ I can honestly tell you that I think you??™ve gone way past overboard.

If you disagree...fine but dismount that high horse you are riding...the fall won't hurt you but the sudden stop just might.

WOW

Hi there Pot??¦

Hey Black??¦what??™s happening?

Unless BU improves and becomes relevant again in the MVC, as well as nationally. Many folks will want to come see them, even on Sunday's, no matter where the games are played...PCC, on campus, Riverplex, outside in the parking lots....

Why did you have to bring Olbermann into it. The guy is a tool. Can't stand him.

Also, is anyone really saying that they want a game where 9000 would attend to be played in a 4000 seat arena? Is anyone on here really saying that should be the case? I cannot imagine anyone wanting that scenario.

Me either...thats why I used him..Hey, LG called us a Donkey/jacka$$ so I thought it was a fair comeback

It was mentioned that post season games could be played there....NIT is post season....I don't want them to even consider that. Thats been MY contention all along.

I'm willing to compromise (like I have any real say ) on a game played there but it can't be anything significant. Now some will rightfully argue ANY BU game is significant but certainly NOT post season or Valley games.

If its EIEIO, like I said, I'm not worried about WHERE its played but we all should worry that it IS being played in the first place.

I agree with everything you said.

WOW

If you don't like my passion for BU or anyone elses then why argue/discuss this with me or anyone else? You can easily igore what I post.

"Loudest...most extreme"......according to whom? What makes my opine any louder then yours or what makes it more extreme....no really. Is it becuase my view differs from yours.

Figures...what figures? The people you quote told us in no uncertain terms that NO ONE knows any numbers so we should just wait until we know more....yet some keep tossing out figures to support their side.

And if numbers ARE allowed (I'll differ to you as far as the rules here) Shaunguth's numbers are all I need.

As far as me repeating things over and over...well, there you go again. Quoting Tornado and squirrel who have been as passionate and outspoken about how THEY feel yet, since my view differs from yours, I'M the one that goes on and on. Classic.


It takes TWO to tango and I only have one screen name so I know I ain't discusing this with myself.

And again...if you REALLY read what I have wrote I have said that I am open to a game being played at the mens practice facility.....NO one is right or wrong about how they feel towards this issue and we may NEVER really be able to declare a winner. So again I ask...whos the hardliner and who is open minded here?

My issue has been from what Dr. Cross first claimed could happen. Specifically POST season games being played at a 4200 seat mens practice facility. THAT is my MAIN issue and I care because it would be foolish and HURT the program I have supported for 25 years.

[shaunguth]

It was mentioned that post season games could be played there....NIT is post season....I don't want them to even consider that. Thats been MY contention all along.

Actually, it was sent out in a press release that all postseason games WILL be played at the new arena. That's a little different than just a mention that they could be played there. However, some see that as "syntax".

[shaunguth]

Which games should be red-outs???

All of them.

While the press release did state "all campus-site postseason tournament games" would be played at the new arena, I have learned that the NIT was not intended to be included in that statement, circumstantially. Depending on the team and arena availability, the PCC option would remain open. They were just trying to simply the release. I would expect the communication coming forward to be clearer.

The NIT is the MAIN post season tourney. How in the world would you release such info and be talking about EIEIO tournamnets only.

Sorry not buying it. Maybe just maybe they are hearing the voices of reason......I find it hard to believe they would make such a grave error in judgement to release such a plan and now say......"just kidding."

But either way it solidifies the case for those against the idea....wether it was a mistake by BU or more a case of upon further review like Wessler said....not ALL fresh ideas are good ones (or something to that effect).

In the interest of moving on I'll give em the benefit of the doubt and say the end result is the most importaint fact......

[squirrelgotdead]

I tend to think the NCAA is I kid. . .I kid. . .

It was probably a simple mis-calculation by the administration or athletic department that it would go un-noticed. It also could have been a simple clerical error. It's also possible that since the NIT final rounds are played on a neutral site, that they didn't consider it fully "campus-site."

BU is no dumb business (and I question that as much as anyone else some times) and if the opportunity presented itself, arrangements would be made to play a higher-profile NIT game at PCC. The problem is, those types of opportunities are going to be increasingly rare.

Dog, I think we know the type of person we are dealing with here Remember way back when, on the play grounds when there would be a sand lot base ball game There was always the kid who had the best ball and bat And if he didn't like the team he was picked on or was chose last, he would pick up his ball, bat and go home But just after reaching the point where he thought no one could possibly catch him, he would stick out his tongue, point his middle finger up at us and say you can't catch me. Well, he always got cought and got a butt whipping The problem was he was not smart enough or liked getting his butt beet because he did it over and over again But he was smart enough to not call any one a name, because he did not get his way

All BS aside, I didn't care for T's #'s and his logic on season tickets, squirrel's examples and comparisons and BNC's statement about the team playing without me (Hell I know 1 monkey won't stop no show) but they never called us ass's (maybe think so) and like wise for what LG calls the other side (Us I guess) I respect their opinions, as we all want whats best in BU BB and their fans
