Because he’s a puss.

Right isnt it really a function of season-ticket holders releasing their tickets to resell websites?

Section above the tunnel is faculty, I have purchased on ebay before.

Pete Bevacqua needs to be different in this regard, for sure.

Don’t give a shit about how many OSU fans are there, what Lou or Herbie said, or what mascot head Corso put on. None of it will have any damn impact on the final. This has all been fun but it’s time to go kick some bucknut ass. I hope this team performs (I believe they will) on the big stage tonight. These big night games are electric. Go Irish!!!

I've reached the "high blood pressure and too many beers than I'd like to admit" stage of the night.

I don't want to pick on the faculty but since many of them have season tickets, they also need to told no sales except within the ND community. And if they don't want to go and cannot sell within the community, you can give it to local SB people who are not well-off. The chasing a buck, whether by a season ticket holder or the athletic department, is appalling.

Agree that it shouldn't affect the game that much, although we shouldn't have to deal with noise at ND stadium.

I think Joel Klatt was wondering how much red would be in the stadium it’s a known issue

 

[stlnd01]

Not sure what I'd take from a picture 75 minutes before the game starts. Where else are Ohio State fans supposed to hang out?
Regardless, what FDNY said. Time to go play some fucking football.

Percocet and bourbon.
It's unlike anything else.

 

[Free Manera]

Yeah the faculty should be picked on. You don’t work for a junior college making $28k a year. Sell your tickets and lose your ticket rights.

If they don’t sell their tickets for big games to the ND community then they lose their season ticket privileges.

Way too much red 😡
Not counting student section, I would say the stadium is currently about 40%. This sucks!!!

If the rest of the stadium filled with nothing but green you're looking at a min 30-35% red. It's gross in here.

 

[calvegas04]

Did we practice the silent count?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I'm not there, despite only being about 2 hours away.
I cannot complain, but this is fucking sad.

 

[fightingirish26]

Feel like a good chunk of the red is people trying to get there early for this very reason (optics). Bet it will look much better by kickoff.

 

[NDMatt91]

Either ban these ND season ticket holders from ever being able to get season tickets again or publicly shame them so they smarten up.

 

[MacIrish75]

Bout to start shotgunning panic beers

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

[Irish du Nord]

It looks sparse still. This is hardly 30% of capacity, let alone 30% OSU

 

[SouthSideChiDomer]

Yulander Wells, deputy athletics director in charge of business strategy
Patrick Nowlin, senior associate athletics director for business innovation and revenue generation

These are the people Sampson identified in his article as being responsible for solving this problem. If the stadium is red, these are the people you blame. Plus Swarbrick.

 

[NDFAN2008]

You can 100% blame the amount of red on the teachers selling their tickets

Unfortunately no
