That's right, 57.

Last year there were only 6,100 at the Dayton game, would be a travesty if it wasn't a sellout this year. Don't know why URI doesn't have "white-out" or "Keaney Blue-outs" for games like these...those types of things are always awesome ways to get the non-student section fans involved

Like a pink-out? whens that?

All this exposure would be great if things go the way we hope and we could parlay that into a transfer front court guy for next year. :o

We literally just had a t-shirt promotion game against St. Bonaventure. They were blue shirts with the front made to look like a suit for Coaches vs. Cancer. It was advertised, they were selling them all over the place, and the team was wearing the shirts in pregame warm-ups.

Should have elaborated more.

Anyone remember when you walked into the arena for a white out, blue out, and every seat had shirts on them already? Or they had a "first 2000 people in get a shirt/ball/etc) People like free stuff. Students like free stuff.

A Friday night game should mean max students....and a main mini package game on top of that. Considering we just won 4 straight, with a game on ESPN 2, we should see the RC in the type of atmosphere that a team FEEDS off of.

After we all saw the pats overcome a 25 point 3rd Qrt deficit in the superbowl its safe to say that giving up on anything is dumb at this point.

Still can't get tickets on gorhody.com. I even got an ad on Facebook advertising tickets to the Dayton game, but when you click on it, there's no place on the page to buy tickets. I know it's not sold out because there were lots of tickets 2 days ago. And it's the same thing for the VCU game. Only Fordham and Davidson has the icon to click for tickets.

Thanks. I don't know why my gorhody page isn't working. The ticket office is going to have to be very busy the next couple of days to sell this one out. Still a couple of thousand tickets left. I'm a little surprised.

Tickets available looking at the map:

1 100 level ticket (and 2 obstructed view)
100 200 level tickets (and 40 obstructed view)
866 300 level tickets (and 132 obstructed view)

967 tickets total and an additional 174 obstructed view seats

Right now by my count 6516 seats are taken (give our take a few i count have miscounted the dots)
[this is assuming obstructed view seat count towards capacity and handicap seats do not]

There should be 7667 people in RI that would wanna go to that game. Including the Dayton people making the trip.
