RE: Wofford non-con schedule
Play them at their place and let them charge more for the tickets and sell out their gyms.
I have no problem playing Milligan but no more of those type games at home unless they charge less for those games. I don't like the idea of paying the same price for these 'scrimmages' as I pay for conference or mid major/major OOC games.

RE: Wofford non-con schedule
I don't know, Milligan has a strange facility. I would worry that we would look terrible in that game just like we did at the Back to Brooks game a few years ago.

Aren't General Admission tickets 10.00? Seems to me that's a bargain even for the Milligan game.

Yeah, tix are not high.
I heard yesterday that season tix are GONE unless folks want to sit on the ends of the court.
Regardless, it remains that Freedom Hall is an economical evening of sports.

Looks like a handful of silver in the corners and some bronze at the ends. The upper bronze sections are still plentiful.

RE: Wofford non-con schedule
How many season tickets are there? Are we talking 4,000 or just 1,000 - 2,000?

RE: Wofford non-con schedule
Season ticket holders pay a lot more than $10 a game. The tickets for silver..$250, gold.. $300, courtside..$750, floor..$1,500. For a 15 game season that's between $16.67 - $100 per game.
Paying those ticket prices, I agree one game with Milligan, at FH, is acceptable but not three games at FH, with teams like Tusculum and UVA-Wise. I have the total respect for these colleges but not at the same price UTC, EKU, Wofford, etc.
If the home schedule was at least 18-19 games, I wouldn't have a problem with season ticket prices. General admission prices would remain the same but season ticket prices would be more reasonable.
IMO, its not economical when it costs a family of three, $50 - $300 for one game.

RE: Wofford non-con schedule
Dude relax. Ain't nobody spending $300 a game except Joe Trujillo. Johnson City Honda, Johnson City.
Some of the boosters down front will spend that money by choice.
But for this conversation, any Tom off the street can throw down a half sawbuck and watch a game.
