Who is “they”? And what do you mean by “open up”?

As I understand it, all student tix have been claimed (through the standard process). That’s 8,000 tickets. There ain’t no more.

All other tix have been sold, or are for sale (at inflated prices on SeatGeek or similar resale sites).

Bottom line, all tix are spoken for, and BFS has a maximum seating capacity. You can’t squeeze 3 pounds into a 1 pound bag, and the local Fire Marshall will be present to enforce safety regulations.

If possible, my suggestion would be to open the AUBC to students (admission by JAC card only) who can’t get into BFS and stream the ESPN+ game over the 4-sided video screen.

That would be a really cool idea. Plus, it would also be a sign to the admin that there's that many more students that really want to be in the stadium. If there is a large turnout and they were to somehow pack the AUBC, then the stadium needs to be upgraded ASAP.
Initially I thought "well they could just watch it on ESPN" but that would be a missed opportunity for JMU. Having a watch party at AUBC would be another chance at creating an experience for those that couldn't make it.

The timeline for the stadium has to be sped up. The demand for next year is only going to skyrocket. They are losing revenue from thousands of fans.
If anyone doesn't have a season ticket and wants one next year..... good luck with that.
