The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

The cheapest seats on the ticket sites are $36, which is positive. I'm not familiar with which side is home or away, but the side opposite the press box (31 - 41) only has seats in section 37. The press box side has seats in most sections available.

Edit - Just pulled out my tickets and noticed they are in Section 9, so it looks like Alabama A&M is bringing a big group unless UAB fans are being sold tickets on both sides. Hope you guys aren't out drawn fan wise. I'll be there cheering for you.

That would be a great problem, Hope they do, but don't think they will. I have been able to find $20 tickets. They suggest, that you go through the ticket office, but where would all those corporate, unused tickets go on ticket master.

Where did you get $20 tickets?

My season tickets are in section 9

All three of us UAB fans will be in attendance.

& those that shouldn't have a concern about attendance will be like this:

I bought $20 tickets straight from UAB last week. $30 tickets are available in the sections nearest the 50 yard line.

I bought 3 section 10 row (somewhere with the Olympian gods) Friday night. They were listed as best available for $30 range.

Weather may be a factor

Obviously subject to change, but as of this morning things are looking up for the weekend weather wise. From his high holiness James Spann:

Quote: UAB will host Alabama A&M Saturday afternoon at Legion Field (2:30p CT kickoff on WABM, MY68)... again the forecast looks better with a mix of sun and clouds and only an outside risk of some rain during the game. About 83 degrees at kickoff, then close to 80 by the end of the game.

With some good weather, I could see the crowd pushing 40k. It's going to be a great atmosphere regardless.

Just guessing but when we reach about 35 to 40k would have to remove some of the tarps - which will be great! and even better they appear to be real tickets not give aways,

I'm excited about Saturday but I hate this thread.

AB, I bet we double that attendance!

Capacity with the tarps is about 51,000. They were real tickets in 2014.

The latest forecast from MC James Spann:

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: The reliable European global model continues to suggest dry air will surge into Alabama and much of the Deep South Saturday, setting up some pretty decent weather for much of the holiday weekend. We will now forecast a partly to mostly sunny sky for the northern half of Alabama Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with highs in the mid 80s. The chance of a shower looks very, very low.

In fact Watts instructed Mackin to under report attendance at some 2014 games.

Don't play their game.

The Watzi narrative is to make this about attendance, as if Ray and Junior and Finis somehow are proven right if fewer than X number of people show at Legion Field. (And make no mistake, the number is X - whatever the totals, real or falsified by Fumbles at Ray's order, the Watzis will declare that it should have been more).

The story is not about attendance. The story is how real people stood against an evil combine of state and corporate power, one that had not lost at anything since 1865, and smacked them in the nose.

The story is Mitch Miller giving the Blazer oath. The story is Tim Alexander speaking to every city council of every 23-person village in central Alabama. The story is a pack of band nerds serenading Ray Watts until he confiscated their tubas and had to take a helicopter to work. The story happened in the hallways of State House, it happened in the parking lot outside the ancient dentist's office, it happened in the Faculty Senate, it happened in the dark back alleys of the national media where Kaleidoscope alums fought the planet's supposed top crisis-management firm and won the day.

Attendance doesn't matter. The score doesn't matter. What matters is that UAB will play football on Saturday in defiance of the racist shadow power structure that has foiled social progress in this state for 152 years. And we made it happen. Not boosters. Not athletic administrators. Not politicians. We fought for our city and our university and we won.

We earned this. We defied all of the odds, we defied every obstacle they threw at us. We were given nothing: we took this day.

The attendance figure that matters? One. As long as one of us is there, we won. Clay Ryan, Ray Watts, Paul W. Bryant Jr. - all of you, and your Sard-Verbinnen and Direct Communications mercenaries, your low-wage troll farms and your University Alumni Association - you lost. You had every advantage, and you lost. You had money, you had power. We had belief.

This is our day. This is our city. This is our game.

Now I'm ready for Saturday, 58-56. I hope all that read this understand the magnitude of our accomplishment.
