LET'S GO!!!!
One more game...
They did it just about every year in OOC but always got tripped up by Xavier, UMass and/or St Joe.
This would be an absolutely huge accomplishment. These 5 seniors can say they're the best group ever after one more game.
Actually they're the best group ever no matter what happens tomorrow, but let's win so they can leave the RC with heads high as
1 - defending A-10 Tourney champs
2 - 2018 A-10 regular season champs
3 - top 20 in the AP and Coaches polls
4 - top 10 in the RPI
5 - the longest winning streak in a single season
and 6 - first team ever to go undefeated at the RC!

I know I probably don't just speak for myself when I say he will be missed next year and future years.
Technically we only need 6,357 to hit 100k.

Three other games this year had bigger crowds (PC/Davidson/Dayton) so it is possible even though the official capacity is listed at 7,657. It will require all the suites to be filled and student allotment minimally filled.

If there was a line we probably wouldn't have gotten in until the U16 timeout, but as it turns out, we got in 30 secs in. Missed the tip off, but not much else. Saw Stan's lay up after a steal while waiting for a break to go to my seat. Wish I had seen the Military member repel down with the ball.
Anyway, assuming the other side was a mess on Friday just before 7, it seems like the Keaney side is the way to go.
Actually, it was pretty packed. We had to wait for someone to leave a spot that was (probably) coming out of Boss Arena. Though we were trying to park between Boss and Mackel, so didn't get a good look at the main Keaney lot.RhodyRam86 wrote:steviep123 wrote:FYI everyone, I parked on the Keaney side on Friday, unfortunately running very late.

That was a Friday night game. Many students had left so there was a bit more available parking on the Keaney side. You are going to have to be there very early or be very lucky to get parking on that side on a Tuesday night. I do always try that lot first as it is much quicker to get out.
So, we're going to need the students for this one. Over 2000 seats left the day before the game.steviep123 wrote:Okay, I clearly have too much time on my hands today. I just counted and including obstructed view, there are 547 tickets available, all but 4 of these are in the 300 level. Of these 547 seats, 95 are listed as obstructed. Here is the breakdown by section (the first number is the total number of seats with the number of obstructed in parentheses):
302: 137 (8 of these obstructed)
303: 28 (12)
309: 87
310: 23 (9)
313: 46 (19)
314: 145 (18)

These sections only have obstructed view seats left:

308: 6
311: 5
312: 8

So in total, there appears to be 452 non obstructed view seats and 95 obstructed view for a total of 547. All but 4 of these are in the 300 level.
I think the students have shown up very well and no need question if they will for Senior Night.

The student allotment minimally filled? A nationally ranked team leading the conference and Senior Night and you don't expect a packed student turnout in one of the nicest buildings in the A10? Has the student attendance not been strong for this very accomplished team?RF1 wrote:Would really love to see 7,720 in attendance for this game to break the 100,000 barrier for the year.

To be fair, I believe the reference was to the 1,500 student allotment. That would be minimally. Students taking their 1,500+ would be maximizing student attendance.JoeCabrey wrote:The student allotment minimally filled?

I ask not to criticize but rather because I've had several conversations about what different schools even major football schools are trying to combat falling student attendance at games.

This group is not losing this game. Period.
At Hagan Arena the student section holds 1200 and thanks.Obadiah wrote:Thanks for the comments JoeCabrey, The student allotment is capped at 1500 and when the game is sold out well in advance, the number of students who get in never rises above that level. In cases of week night games when ticket sales tend to slough off, the Ryan ticket office allows in additional students to fill the seats that would otherwise be empty. The record number of students at a game of this type was in the 2800 range. For St. Joe's game, I expect more students will be allowed in, but only if the walk up crowd does not significantly materialize, but given the special circumstance surrounding this game, the walk-up crowd should be large. But either way, I expect a full house for this game.
I know that the St. Bona student cap is 900 students. What is the St. Joe's student cap?
BTW, nice job on the Hawks message board.
I don’t think there are 2,000 seats left. I believe they set aside 1,000 for students. I also believe there have been a decent # of tickets sold since Steve counted. I checked the dots on a few sections and they are now half the number from when Steve counted. Lastly, I believe they release unsold seats in Sec 302 & 303 for additional students prior to the start of the game. We sit in Sec 304 and several times the students have filled seats right next to us in 303. With it being a weekday game I am expecting a student turnout similar to the last Tuesday night game.

Students get 1500. I just counted 461 others. But I agree. It will be a sellout.Rhody83 wrote:I don’t think there are 2,000 seats left. I believe they set aside 1,000 for students.

There are 114 obstructed (eyeglasses) seats in the 300s and 16 obstructed in the 200s. I total of 130 obstructed seats.Billyboy78 wrote:The green dots are the unobstructed. The tiny eyeglasses are the obstructed.
I know I've sat in plenty of "Obstructed view" seats and I've never seen anything that actually obstructed my view of the game. Like R83 wrote, maybe a railing bar that is in your line of site or a gate, or a Plexiglas divider preventing someone from falling down to the 200 level from the 300 level, but none of these affected my view of the court.Rhody83 wrote:There are 114 obstructed (eyeglasses) seats in the 300s and 16 obstructed in the 200s.

That would bring the revised total of unsold seats to 447. I can't believe the obstructed seats in the 200s aren't gone. In most cases it is "obstructed" because a railing bar is in your view towards the court.
