I bet we get 18,000 for one game
If we host- insane crowd
Won't be announced 18. And the answer of how many will actually be in there will depend on the fire marhsall. I'll stand by the 13 Clemson super had the most people by a good bit. Could not move.Quote:

The band wagon for this team (if they start like I bet they will) will be off the chart.
We may have fans turned away this year.
This may not be a national title team but I don?t remember a team that I thought had this much talent on it and excitement surrounding it going into the season.
Still have to win games and stay healthy and ? but if it were easy, it would not be so satisfying to succeed.
I expect some huge crowds.
Hell, this may be the year I actually go to a baseball game at Dudy Nobel. Baseball was the only sport of which I was any good, until they started throwing those damn curve balls. Legally blind people have trouble picking those up!
I do know a former player or two. Well, their Dads anyway. I may just go with them to a game.
The pictures after the game of someone riding a tall bicycle onto the field was some of the funniest post game celebration pics. I think that was posted on 6pack back in the day.Quote:

17,500 if we are as good as we think we will be.
Totally agree.Quote:

We're way better there than we were last year. If Milewski can't catch we'll just go with Andrew Raymond who is solid. Kirby is also a lot better than Cheese at coaching catchers.Quote:

We need to raise ticket prices
After reading this thread it seems like "we" and "they" have a lot to work on ***
I’m not saying we’ll do it this season, but I’ll bet that we are the first school to hit 20,000 in attendance for basebal by 2030.
This is the truth. We need to be charging 10x-15x what we are charging for the outfield rigs. Will it price out some people? Yep. But in the day and age of rev share and NIL you need to charge market value for premium seating and that is as premium as it gets. And trust me, those people will still figure out a way to pay it.Quote:

10/15 times. Wow. It would price out more than some.Quote:

Yep, that?s a ridiculous ideaQuote:

Those areas- and I have friends that are members of these groups- have been far too cheap for too long
Maybe. But we've been bad in scrimmages. Real bad.Quote:

I mean 10x on 4K is 40K. Most of these rigs have 10-15 people. That's not exactly breaking the bank tbh. Like I said, most of those people would find a way even if it was 100K. They'd have nothing to brag about on social media if they had to give up their spots.Quote:

I do agree with raising the prices some- but 10-15x the amount seems excessive to me too. Going up from 4K (I think that's what it is) to maybe 5K I think is reasonable. But from 4K to 40K is quite a jump.
100K you are sniffing glue there my friend! even i would not get one for 100 k. a loft now i am willing to do but you cant even crack the waiting list on that i have tried!Quote:
