And that's the larger side of the equation--WVU. You know that fan base can bring it if they perceive the opponent is worth going to see. Wonder what's wrong with the enthusiasm here? Could it be that they are not enamored with playing the #5 ranked FCS team in the country? To WVU fans, they may as well be playing a scrimmage.

Of course the team better be ready or they may leave Landover heartbroken...

I checked stub hub and there were approx 800+ tickets avail. so of the 6k they've sold, 800 are for sale again. something like that anyway.

They are begging Duke Club members to recruit more members to add to their operational budget. Giving away suite seats to the ODU game, mens hoops season tickets, and so forth...

Pretty cool to be their biggest home draw in only our 2nd and final year at this "SEC of FCS" level LOL.

I got the same email. It's laughable. The reality is, beyond the 20 or so zealots on the Zone, nobody cares about JMU sports enough to justify FBS status. Their self-perception is completely misaligned.

I also think it's funny how ODU sent an email this week to quell their fans' concerns about season ticket delivery dates, while JMU basically sent an email offering a blue light special on tickets if you could talk someone else into buying.

FWIW, Towson tickets are on sale too. I plan on getting mine on walk-up, unless something dramatic happens.

Anybody else get their tickets for the JMU game this week? Just found out my four seats are in section 411.

I think I picked something about emailing tickets. Nothing yet.

Smudge - we'll be neighbors for the game. Same section, I believe one row up

Hope to get ours by end of the week

Did you guys request mail delivery?

Sweet we are also in 402, rows K and L. This is going to be a party.

My girlfriend is a Jmu alum.......she bought our two tickets but I have a feeling I will be smack dab in the middle of a bunch of Pukes fans.

And I will absolutely be the loudest and drunkest fan there as Heinecke marches up and down their flooded out, crappy little FCS field again and again and again.

I will be looking to tailgate with some fellow Monarch/ex-zoners before the game so if anyone wants to get loaded before we go celebrate our first and possibly last victory at JMU (since we will be too big and too good to visit them anymore )

By all means, hit me up and let me know. Should be a blast.

I've got 4 seats in row U of 414. I think I'll need to pressurize on the way up to avoid a nosebleed.

I'm in 414 as well. Rows Q & R - 10 seats! We'll definitely need to organize a tailgate for this one. Is anyone planning on staying overnight?

I'm in 402 Row K.

which looks to be about as far away from the action as possible.

Sweet, I was hoping I wasn't alone over there. My parents live in the area so I'll be up for the weekend. My boss is a JMU grad and goes to games. He's telling me that the JumboTron is on the side opposite the band so you guys in 402 might not have an angle to see it. Also, the tickets allotted to ODU will be on the visitors side in sections 6,7,8 also without sight lines to the screen.

I can't believe there are tickets still on sale... I would buy a second group of four if i knew they would be next to my original set.

Got my 4 today. Section 402 row L. Looks far away but will be fun hopefully.

If you try buying tickets now, it says where the seats will be. Or you could call and ask.
