I agree with him. It's a Saturday afternoon, with plenty of deals to make tickets affordable, for a team projected in the tournament

Wasn't there a similar "THE TICKETS AREN'T SELLING!!!!!11!!" freakout before the VCU game that had 7900 people in attendance?

Anyone reading his tweets is likely not the problem. Just always feels like a shot of which the only possible recipients are his specific audience as a writer. Idk, I just don’t really get it but it doesn’t diminish my opinion of him at all. And in this case it seems especially strange because the attendance has been pretty good so far by URI standards and it appears it will be excellent all things considered on Saturday.
ETA - didn’t see when I wrote this that Bill is in the thread. Not trying to talk about you like you’re not here. You know I love you, but I do think the attendance talk comes off like it’s a shot at your readership.

I don't know. Bill pointed something reasonable out when he was asked a direct question and somehow people think he's picking on us because of it

The attendance for these last three home games should not be a concern. The stage has been set for 7k+ crowds for all of them. This season is at worst on track to be the 2nd best Ryan Center average attendance and even has a chance of becoming the highest.
The big concern for everyone should be winning all the games Rhody is supposed to.

Re: 2/15 | Saint Joe’s | 12:00PM (CBSSN)
There are no longer any of the Family 4 Packs available for the game, either. This was the remaining opaque element of ticket sales because the seats held for the packages won’t show up as green dots on the Ryan Center website. Yesterday I checked and the “best available” option could net you four seats in row G of section 304. Today I tried the same thing and there are no four packs left in any section at any price point. So what we see now for dots is the sum total of what is available.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 years ago There's only 200 or so tickets left. If the students show, it'll be a full house.
It looks like what you have now is about 20 seats left in the top rows of 313 and another 20 or so in the top row of 311. Beyond that it is single seats everywhere and some obstructed view seats.

Other than single scattered seats, I see 22 total in the last couple of rows in 313, 5 in the last row of 312, 20 in the last row of 311 plus a pair in the second to last row, and 6 in the second to last row in 307.

Re: 2/15 | Saint Joe’s | 12:00PM (CBSSN)
St. Joes, although a terrible 4-20 and #276 in KenPom, is interesting.
Ken Pom has this as a 21 point edge...it's important we step on their throats and send a message to the rest of the A10 that we're back to our winning ways.
Hopefully the crowd on Saturday has a lot to cheer for in what looks like, on paper, to be a mismatch.
- They own wins over #63 UConn @ UConn and against #145 Penn on a neutral court
- They have played some really good teams closer than expected - lost to #41 Florida (neutral) by 8, #28 Villanova by 12, #6 Dayton by 13, #47 VCU by 13, URI by 10, #90 St Louis by 5, and brought Davidson to OT @ Davidson
- Despite the above, they are winless in the A10, although their Penn win came in the middle of the A10 schedule
- They have the leading scorer in the league - Ryan Daly
- When they play well they're capable - especially with a big-time scorer (more volume scorer than efficient)
- In their four wins Ryan Daly scored 30, 27, 30, and 26 points
- In the 5 games he scored in single digits they lost by 13, 13, 18, 32, and 47 (yes, 47!) points

FYI - The Saint Joe's Alumni Boston Chapter will be at Shaidzon tomorrow before the game. Hope Rhody fans can attend to make sure they are outnumbered during this early game event. There is going to be about 30 of them.

I had no idea there were 140 obstructed view seats in the Ryan Center. Kind of odd for a newer type arena. Are they all scattered throughout or are they primarily in one area?

Re: 2/15 | Saint Joe’s | 12:00PM (CBSSN)
I don't know of many really bad obstructed seats (think behind a pole at Fenway). There are some where part of your view might be slightly obstructed by a top of a Plexiglas barrier or something, but nothing terrible.

Those little black things that if you zoom in look like eyeglasses are the obstructed view. For instance, in section 313, there are a bunch of them available Row J 1-5, Row h 1-5 and a few others in that section. Obstructeds are usually a railing slightly obstructing the view.steviep123 wrote: ↑4 years agodo they not show as green dots?

The VCU game had 7900 tickets sold. There weren’t 7900 in attendance. The VCU game was part of the 5 game plan. So PC fans that bought that plan were no shows. The St Joes game isn’t part of the 5 game plan. The weekend day game attracts fans.SmartyBarrett wrote: ↑4 years ago Wasn't there a similar "THE TICKETS AREN'T SELLING!!!!!11!!" freakout before the VCU game that had 7900 people in attendance?
The SLU games is part of the 5 game plan. The Dayton game on Sr Night is already close to a full crowd.

It bothers me when I see the empty seats in the 100s and 200s sidelines that are definitely season tickets. I don’t understand why season ticket holders don’t give those tickets away to be used.

I recommend Long Trail, Little Anomaly. A hazy juicy (tasty) IPA, with just 110 calories and only 3.8% ABV. Sounds like a great way to start the day.

Funk and Daly (also possibly an indie music duo?) were the only interesting things about this year’s Hawks team.
Without either of them? Rams have this one in the bag by halftime. Limit Dowtin’s minutes, let him rest his ankle. Give Eric some extended minutes. Have fun and win. Done.
