Why should anybody get tickets in advance when they do this?

To be fair, you have to be a member of the Alumni Association to get that deal. So I think that's a good idea, join the AA and get 50% off against BC.

+1- you have join AA to get this offer. Nothing to see hear & it makes sense. Does not undercut season ticket purchase at all

I have been a member of the AA for many years. If there are two or fewer Saturday games next year, I will just buy tickets for the Saturday games through the AA or avail myself of any discounts offered by Athletics. Makes a ton of sense rather than spending a lot on season tickets, most of which I won't use.

RE: BC is Blackout Game
I think this game be well attended but NOT close to a sellout. Will they remove the top Huskie eyes tarps on the East side for this one?
Good call on the black out game for the opener against BC.. It comes off as pitiful when they try to pull it off on a frigid WED nite in mid November.

The official NIU athletics website has TV: CBSSN. Does the blackout refer to this local Chicago metro area?

The game is called the blackout game because the fans are urged to wear the color black to the game. The game is televised on CBS Sports Network at 8:30pm.

Can you imagine wearing black on a hot September Saturday afternoon in DeKalb? Thank God it is a night game.
