I need tons of tickets to this game. Local club has been assigned 50 for a 2000 person club. Really hoping to track down an NCST season holder to buy pay half his cost to get this one game. Surprisingly strong football demand for these guys. Definitely looking to do a great tailgate.

Could be a tough ticket. The stadium is actually smaller than UVa's and It's the only road game in the east held at a school this year. I prefer to go to college towns when given the choice of road tripping for road games. I wish it was Duke or UNC because I've been to NCSt before but I might go anyways and then head out to Ashville and relax. First week of Oct is peak fall color down there. Rent a convert or a motorcycle and soak it all in.

Should be interesting to see how the lottery shakes out on this one. Have four or five apps submitting for me. On one hand, nominal opponent without huge local alum base.

Hopefully Syracuse and Navy games keep folks south and north of out of my sandbox so I can get some tickets.

Could be wrong on this, but I was always under the impression that the away game lottery winners were regionally skewed, giving preference to local alumni. For example, the ASU game @ ASU were harder tickets to score thru the lottery for alumni living in New York compared to ones living in Santa Fe.

While I hope you are right I also might benefit if you are not since 4 of the five applications do not live in this area!

That's what I heard too. We got our tickets from the ND Club of Phoenix as non-alums. All the Subways I know from the PHX Club went.

The answer is no for me. Get forced into enough night games already.

I'm down for every game being a night game.

As long as the school can accommodate our athletes with the time-shifted travel and they have enough time to excel in their courses, I'd love to increase the number of night games.

It feels like players show up more at night than at noon kickoff.

Exactly.

Nothing beats a 3:30 EST game when you are in SB. Tailgate from 10 - 3 (Not too sober, not too drunk) watch game and head to Hard Rock at the New Buffalo Casino.

Even better? Same game, get up in LA around 8am, kick the cat, make a big honkin' chorizo & tater burro, have a couple Michelada's, meet up with your buddies at 10am in the parking lot of the ND Club's watch party, sample a few of SoCal's finest. Go inside at 12:15 order your kick off libation, watch Irish win, wrap it up at 4pm, have rest of the day to enjoy the 75 degree weather.

Road games... and other networks using ND's pull in primetime whacks my day and makes this creature of habit have a grumpy.

Red Diamond with no corporate Tea tie-in? Paging Dr. White. He offer to dress ND in red for a buck.

Package deal yesterday sold out before available to general public - even a few Wolfpack club members said they couldn't get any. I'm sure they were using it to shove the remaining singles out on the masses - making them pick up a William and Mary and Miami ticket to get it.
