Representatives from the athletics ticket office will be stationed behind section 114 in the south horseshoe end of Nippert Stadium for a select-a-seat event where prospective season ticket holders can choose their seats on the spot. Staff will be on hand behind section 114 to show fans seats in-person and provide more information on season ticket availability and options.

Now all we need is sunshine and 70+ degrees. I like the way UC is promoting this event and trying to engage fans for baseball the same day. I look forward to sampling the "club" experience.

I'm not sure what their internal goal might be, but I've got to believe UC should be seeking a big bump in season ticket sales after last year's excellent results. For so many reasons, we need to keep the momentum going--onward and upward to the top of the AAC and beyond.

I've been posting for a couple years now they needed to expand their menu items at Nippert. I imagine all three items will result in increased concession receipts.

You will not get the true "club" experience as there will be no free food such as the beef carving station, the custom pasta or custom salads. No burgers, brats, mets. No Skyline Chili. No Bonbonniere Deserts.

I am still shocked there is no Skyline Chili nor Graeter's Ice Cream at the football games. I do like the recent addition of the pulled pork.

I'll have to settle for just the pure air at that altitude. But if our rainy spring weather continues it may be a good port in the storm.

Agreed. I figure eventually we'll see a set-up like 5/3rd with Frisch's (already there), Skyline, Buffalo Wild Wings... at least that would make sense to me.

The Jean Roberts like at PBS would be great.

Skyline has been available on the west side of the stadium ever since the renovation was completed. It's always my daughter's first choice.

Every time I have been at that booth with the Skyline sign, they say they have none available that game. I am 0-4 trying to get Skyline there since the renovation.

Spring game is this Saturday @ 6pm in Historic Nippert Stadium!

Who all is going?! Mrs. T-Shirt and I will be there along with a family friend.

Is there any chance that the game will be streaming?

Does anyone have an extra club ticket? My brother and I are going, and we got the ones from our season tickets, but I’d like to take my daughter too. I took her to the ECU game, and she fell in love with Bearcat football. Unfortunately, she didn’t understand that they won’t always win by 50. She’s six. Any help would be appreciated.

I am willing to pay, if that wasn't obvious.

Going to be warm and dry Saturday. Hopefully will have a good crowd!

I hope so as well. I think it's a good sign that the club seats sold out well in advance. Even though that's not a huge number of seats I still take it as a good sign that fans were eager to get those locked up. Should be a great day and I'm really looking forward to it. A lot of things I'm interested in such as seeing all the RBs (particularly Doaks), the WRs, Ben Bryant, all the young guys, etc. Randomly, I'm intrigued to see if Ryan Montgomery gets some carries and how he looks.
