lawd, lawd, lawd .... ya can't have you're cake and eat it too.
Tiny Knee Stadium is not in a bean field I'll have you know and I would pay 60$ to see Foghat there.

There is no shame in not being able to afford it, but it is completely embarrassing that fans complain about a $60 ticket for one game. It is shocking.

It has continued this year with the coach stating multiple times that he is educating the team to take the shot----I am almost certain that he didn't tell them that it is a PLAYERS RIGHT NOT TO TAKE IT---and that it is not really a vaccine as such
You don't know how to copy and paste, but somehow you are a science expert? How can you not realize how much you are humiliating yourself on a daily basis?
You and me not taking the shot is an option. The players can't afford to have that choice. With the physical contact they have with each other and opponents, it would be idiotic of them to not take it. If they don't want to take it, they should opt out.
...or rather the players that don't want to play with/against players that don't take the shot---THEN THEY SHOULD OPT OUT
So -you are saying --one has rights --and one does not
I am saying that it shocks me that there are people so dumb, that they don't see how different rules and logic apply.
Joe Public Age 18-25
- Doesn't get vaccinated
- Has the option of socially distancing
- Limited opportunities to contract or pass on the virus
- Survival rate of 9,999/10,000 if they contract it.
- Personal quarantine
Memphis Tiger Football Player
- Doesn't get vaccinated
- Will be in close physical contact with others on a daily basis
- Probably 1,000X more apt to pass it on than someone in the general public
- Survival rate of 9,999/10,000 if they contract it
- Infection will undoubtedly result in many players contracting it
- Infection will most probably result in games being forfeited
Now is a chance for you to be a hero's and say that you see the difference. This is your big chance to be a hero's.
Spoken like a true BIG BROTHER/FAUCI/ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT/NEW WORLD ORDER/W.H.O./CDC FAN
If you believe ANYTHING that is spewed from the list above---you are beyond help---you are like the lemmings/sheep following each other off the cliff or in the giant hole
ALL they have done since day one is --LIE LIE LIE
Lol, and you are saying others are spewing political crap. Try thinking for yourself and being part of a community. You have fallen way down the conspiracy rabbit hole.
When you walk into LB stadium on Saturday you are encouraged to wear a mask. The drunk who coughed on me multiple times in the in the opener motivated me to wear a mask. My choice and none of your conspiracy nutcase political mantras makes one bit of difference in my life choices.
If I go to an establishment that has a policy about wearing a mask I wear one because I respect that place as a patron. My individual right is to choose not to go there if I don’t like their rules not to crucify them.
Coaches are encouraging players to get vaccinated out of safety and because they don’t want to lose players for a game or forfeit a game. If we were in a flu epidemic we would do the same except this 18 month epidemic is 10 times as deadly and infectious. Everyone u derstands they have choices and options.
You have the right to take risks but your rights are not paramount to the safety of others. People are choosing to not work because they do not want to get vaccinated or wear mask. That’s hurting the economy. Tn has the highest infection rates per capita in the country but you think your rights are more important than the masses. Hospitals have no ICU beds available because they are filled with Covid patients of which 96% were not vaccinated. But your rights are more important than the people being turned away for other reasons they have no control over.
Not sure when disease and safety of the masses became a thing for right wing conspiracy minions to hang their political lives on but it is not conservative ideology and it is not Christian ethic and it is not historical American community values.
I’m done. I’ll be in the stands wearing my mask because it is my right to choose safety and my right to play a role in protecting others.

All I'm saying is that due to the current landscape, it would be smart to fill up the seats anyway possible. Unfortunately, we are not at a place (yet) where we can fill 58,000 seats at $60 per pop.

I understand that point and you aren't wrong (technically).
Ok. Rather than publically doing discounted tickets, contact all the youth football groups, church youth groups, and charities, and offer them a block of tickets at a huge discount. Maintain the value, let kids that normally wouldn't be able to afford it enjoy the game, and fill seats.
I live in Ohio and I am not able to make it to the game this Saturday, but I want to support the football program and I am willing to help however I can. I am looking at the "Seats for Service" program on the website. Is this an effective way to donate tickets and help fill up the stadium with Memphis fans? Tickets are only $10 each. Seems like it might be a good deal to support the program and help attendance? If not, what is a better idea?

No idea if there are any other programs out there- if I were you I would go ahread with donating the $10 tickets - it is Wednesday and getting the logistics lines up will be easier on a Wednesday than if you wait — ( I have no idea what their plan is at all just talking about getting people to go to games in general

And, selling 40,000 tickets at $60 and selling another 20,000 tickets at $30 is better than those 20,000 going unsold.
Not to mention, the optics of a full stadium on TV.
The reality is likely your purchases from this point on will likely not change drastically by dropping the price only to $30, you would have to go all the way down to $10 to move the needle materially if even then. So for many reasons it’s better to maintain the $60 price even if it limits your walk up crowd. COVID is still impacting attendance most places this year, the whole world(including conference leaders) will understand if a stadium that would normally be 90% + full for this game is only closer to 75% full.
The important thing is that it’s mostly blue & not the opposing teams colors in our stadium.
No, not really. Only the loons.
Hopefully we will even hear a new popular chant sweeping the country

You must not have seen some of the SEC stadiums with empty corners & sparsely populated upper decks this weekend……& that is the SEC where “it means more”…
But I said most places, your can certainly cherry pick a couple of outliers if that makes you feel better.

In that case Joe Six Pack won’t get to watch an SEC team vs Memphis this year or in most cases SEC teams against each other in their stadiums. Go look at the average price of SEC tickets & I bet you will see $60 is well below that……yes you may find a couple cases where they drop the upper deck prices, but the average price is still well above $60……..the SEC is recognized as the premium College FB league if you want to watch them you pay that premium……if you want discounted tickets to Memphis games, come back next week & watch vs UTSA those will be a lot more affordable……..

Right? I mean, it's like they have collective amnesia and have totally forgotten that Lord Fauci (in interviews and e-mails) repeatedly said that standard cloth masks were ineffective, until the Orange Man criticized him. And, he made those statements with a tone of incredulity, like how stupid can you be if you think a basic piece of fabric is going to keep viruses out.
