I have seen no homecoming weekend marketing to this point along that line. Think we are setting this up for a much larger JMU crowd than needed to be, with no one to blame but ourselves. Registration for homecoming doesn't start until mid July. Imagine most non-season ticket holder alums are not going to be conscious of immediately getting in any registration and ticket purchase. I hope all seats, but the visitor section will be held back from public sale, until a reasonable time is given for purchase through homecoming registration. If not, then too late come Aug. 1st !

You are exactly right! It would be offensive if the JMU folks gobble up all the seats before Tribe folks can get them. (It is bad enough that the JMU band routinely plays in our stadium -- regardless of how good their band actually is).

Definitely a problem. Its already an uphill battle vs defending National Champs who return most of their team. We have a new QB, who could be nervous on their first homecoming start...need the fans to feed him confidence.

Could they postpone individual sales for Homecoming alone? Give a special "presale code" to alums to purchase early...sent via email/mailers?
