Maybe Athletics, too, realizes that this matchup is not worth sinking in any marketing dollars that will be needed down the road.

I hope they did not get carried away and order too many weenies.

I have 8 coworkers and another friend coming to the game tomorrow who are not part of my regular Saturday group. It will be their only game this season although some are talking about coming to the mid-week game in November. It's boys night out, ladies stay home!

We're under 24 hours to go.

Can't wait. N E E D NIU FOOTBALL FIX Badly!

For all practical purposes, Section D is sold out (three singles remaining).

Way to many seats elsewhere.

Possible Reasons
Opponent - Future scheduling will address this. Biggest reason in my opinion. A lesson learned and already addressed.
Game day - Thursday is a little more difficult for some. The right opponent would make this an almost non-issue. For those that travel for work, this is always an issue.
Game time - Nice for locals, too early for anyone coming in from the Chicago area without having to take off half a day of work. 7:00 is much better. Even 6:30 would have helped.
Weather - Can't control. The right opponent would minimize this issue.


Hopefully we get lots of walk ups.
