Bradley-Duke game

[The Old Guy]

Since most of us do not have tickets for the BU-Duke game, how about the Braves Club or the Alumni Association hosting a viewing party at the new arena? Having a lot of us viewing the game on the big screens would be a lot more exciting that sitting at home and watching the game.

That would be awesome...although that might be way over our heads....

That is a terrific idea Old Guy...and welcome to Bradleyfans!

Is there anyone on the board who would be in a position to make a suggestion to the powers that be?

In a perfect world, I am hoping they are already thinking of this...

Bradley-Duke game

I'm aware that BU is planning to host the game at the Student Center and also at Lydia's Lounge. Reason for this location appears to be that the arena is TOO BIG. Watching the game on TV sets that will be brought in or on screens using a portable projection system is not quite the same as watching the game on the big screens in the arena. Drop Dr. Cross a note and maybe that thinking can change.

Since the MRS. and I just decided to take a pass on traveling to Durham to see us play Duke, I am going to encourage some of you to consider the following:

1. "BU at Duke" currently $140 per ticket on stubhub lots of tix available.
2. Round trip from Bloomington to Raleigh-Durham $211 on American, flights everyday.

Hopefully you have better persuasion skills than I do!

Good Luck

Hey Guys,

The Red Sea has been in conversations with the Athletic Department about a viewing party at the arena. The only fear they have is about attendance. The reason being is that they can't sell alcohol on campus and the game is on ESPN2. They feel like since it is on national TV most people would rather go to the bars and drink and watch the game then come to the Arena for the atmosphere.

The alcohol was flowing when they had the sweet 16 viewing in the Fieldhouse.

Ok, Well if we can get enough support from the community to have it then we will definitely push for it. There only concern like I said is attendance we just need to guarantee them that people will be there so that it will be worth it for them.

Yes they can sell alcohol for "special events." Now if they want to or not is a different story.

If you remember, a few years back they sold beer at one of the scrimmages in the Fieldhouse that was combined with another event. I asked one of the promotions people that I knew "why can we sell beer?" and was told it was considered a "special event."

FWIW

[real fan]

I doubt that they would get over 200 people since it is on ESPN 2 , the students don"t attend live games so I just don"t see them watching this one in the arena.
