Weber State $15

Are these the normal prices for NH and Richmond or are they "flex pricing" due to the JMU following?

UR definitely jacks the price for our games up. Not sure on the rest.

Weber should be doing the same. We're as big an opponent that has has played in Ogden, UT since the 2014, when they played NDSU at home.
$15 is a steal.

It would be great if JMU would charter a plane for the Weber game like they did for the NDSU game. It would sell out in no time. Weyers Cave to Ogden then a red eye flight back home after the game.

I might be down for that.

Don't think I'm gonna be able to swing it, but definitely would recommend the trip to Weber State for anyone thinking about it. I absolutely love Ogden, it's beautiful out there.

Got 8 tickets for Weber St. Today

A MD-80 type plane round trip from Weyers Cave to Ogden runs about $90k and holds about 160. Add in bussing, stocking the plane with drinks and snacks, airport fees, we'd be looking at $1,000 a person.

Was planning on going to the Weber State game but the airfare and hotel and what not are just a bit too much. So will be watching on the Tube.

Will definitely go to Delaware and William and Mary games perhaps Richmond also.

That's a lot. For a party of 2 with hotel that get's you in the $2,500 - $3,000 range. Likely a lot of other areas I'd prefer to travel to for that.

Weber didn't get the memo that you're supposed to make the JMU game your most expensive game of the season. They're the cheapest road game of the year.

Lulz at the tics trying to cash in on the sellout of the breadbox called bridgeforth East.

Wonder what their “fans” will sell them for the day prior? 10 bucks? Maybe scalp them for 15?

Sad. So very sad.

We’ll be going to Ogden for the Weber St game. Made our hotel reservations a few months ago. Can’t wait.

Outside the Nova game, home schedule is a little meh this season. Looking at going to the RU, W&M and Weber games.

I agree. UD, UR and Weber are the three games of most interest for me. All of them away.

Campbell played four 1-A games last fall. They lost by one to Ga Southern but weren’t close against App, Coastal and Wake. I am hoping they improve and are at least competitive since that is Homecoming.

Just not much to get excited about. JMU has a good chance of going 11-0 this fall.

UNH's game is their Homecoming game, so $35 is their General Admission (lowest) price that day. Normally it would have been $25.

For those that have travelled to UNH before, expect a much better atmosphere there this year. It was Homecoming the first year I went to a JMU game there and the place (well-before their stadium additions) was packed. I will be getting my tickets through JMU's website (for me and my 2 UNH-alum friends).

Yeah, UNH’s new (2016) stadium expansion states 11k+ capacity, but their last HC game (2019 vs Elon) lists 17k+ attendance..

And scheduling JMU for homecoming..

Honestly, I don't doubt those numbers. When I was there pre-expansion, they brought in extra temp seating and they have a lot of room for standees. Remember, the stadium is open on both endzones, so it is easy to squeeze thousands of more people in there than official seats.

+ aren‘t those tickets sold? I was at the 06’ upset of then #1 UNH with Santos & Ball, which I believe was their HC game. Seems were thousands that never made it into the stadium, I bet many with tickets..

FWIW 2019 UNH was 3rd in the CAA in listed attendance avg, behind JMU & UD, at 10,105. The only northern school that gets respectible support.
