I really wish to game was on a weekend, I'd make the trip north for it.
Mid-week doesn't work for me.

It's easier to get to than DeKalb.

Alum negativity says "i say this game has 5-7k of attendance". I believe the pros when they say it will be two or three times that minimum

Attendance will depend on two things: Our record at the time the game is played and the weather.

And maybe Toledo's record too. That might be the only hope to save face for this game is if Toledo comes in undefeated and ranked.

The ticket sales already exceed that, just an FYI.

Or at least what I can glean from TicketMaster...

Yes that's the problem I would guess 70% of tickets for that game will go un-unsed, unless UT is undefeated then it will be lower than that.

70%?? Your insane... People are going for the rivalry and experience, regardless of NIUs record. Plus those are not cheap tickets to throw away.

With the inclusion of the ticket in the season ticket package, I don't think people will assign them a lot of value

Toledo/NIU drew what....17-20k in huskie stadium in the peak of the rivalry (IE both teams being good)? As much as we love the rivalry - its not as storied as your statement implies :)

Most of those were probably weeknight games though. Obviously most of them sell out if on weekends

Ok so your only talking about season ticket holders when u say 70% unused. Well season ticket holders are the most loyal of fans we have, so your arguement for them to no show still makes no sense. And the tickets do have value, this is the first game ever played in the cell.

Try again.

If you are dealing with a mathematically eliminated team in 30 degree temps , in what amounts to an exhibition game for NIU on a work night , that will likely challenge even the diehards
