And I'm sure more people had tickets for Iowa to begin with as that was the peach of the initial schedule.It's hard to sell 30-35k single game tickets every week.
They get Ibrahim back, won't have to rely exclusively on TannerWent back and watched highlights from last years game at Minnesota here's a few thoughts. Both teams have a lot of the same players back. We seemed to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. We sacked Tanner Morgan 6 times! He also threw 2 picks and had a QBR of 25.3 which is terrible. Chase ran for 147 and that's with Tony Petersen calling plays. We win this game with a turnover or two, running the ball, and playing solid defense.....
Yup we need a larger season ticker holder base, hopefully that happens in the offseason.
Let‘s be honest the DIA had zero intention of selling those tickets. Their pricing scheme strategically guaranteed it.It's hard to sell 30-35k single game tickets every week.
I'm aware of that, my main point was about how our line play push them around for a good portion of the game last year. Both offense and defense....They get Ibrahim back, won't have to rely exclusively on Tanner
The ticketing website shows only about 5K available seats, mostly in the horseshoe. Why are we giving estimates of 40K or 4K for tomorrow's game?
I think it’s because a lot of tickets aren’t listed for sale yet. For example, if you see unsold tickets in rows 15-20, and none in rows 21-30 it’s because 21-30 aren't listed for sale.The ticketing website shows only about 5K available seats, mostly in the horseshoe.

They should really consider doing what they did on the West Side of the stadium.They play games with what seats are released for purchase. Notice the 2 far ends in the West balcony are sold out yet the sections between the 30's still have a few seats available. They held these back during the 24/24 sale so they could get $85 (or nothing) for them. Lots of seats under the East Main overhang and East Main balcony will not be available for purchase even though they are unsold. It is what it is and I won't complain about the $24 tickets I bought.
Really hope we never see the gray unis ever again.Warm up in your orange and blue unis then come out to play in your gray ghost outfits.

Fashion always comes back around again eventually, but I can't imagine that being anywhere on the horizon.Really hope we never see the gray unis ever again.
My Dad and I sat in the Colonnades Club a couple years for a game and it was actually quite nice especially since it was a cold and kind of a wet day if I remember! They serve food and drinks up there and a really good place to just sit and relax before the game. Understand what your saying though, it is very pricey!A number of Suites remain unsold. 77 Club - sold out. Colonnades Club still has availability. So that premium seating $$ is not all that hot of a ticket. If you add more on the East side, it dilutes what is already on the West side. That's why quite a few stadium rehab projects around the country have reduced capacity vs. expanding. They don't want to make it an easy ticket.
Maybe at some point a rehab will include an economy premium on the East side Like the airlines do with economy plus. I'm not paying 2.5k/ticket for the Colonnades but I'd consider 1k/ticket for some form of economy premium.
Agreed but hiring Bret Bielema was the first step in the right direction. Even though he struggled at Arkansas, I strongly believe he learned his lesson from it. He is still a really good coach and knows the Big Ten landscape and what it takes to recruit in this conference. He will get the program to new heights somehow or someway. Just a matter of time.I don't understand why so many of you are shocked and complaining about attendance.
Let's do a quick recap:
*The only thing we have been consistent at over the past 30 years is losing
*If you are attending an 11AM game and live in the big metros in Illinois, you will likely need to LEAVE around 8 or 9AM which means getting up around 7AM on a Saturday
*There is an entire thread on here bemoaning the in-stadium experience: issues with wifi, concessions, and even trying to get into the stadium itself
*Given the product over the last 10 years, you have multiple classes of students where football has been a complete afterthought, basically creating an entire generation of students that are apathetic when it comes to Illinois football
*Because of how poor the team has played over time, we have likely failed to attract a good share of non-affiliated fans, i.e fans that have no direct ties to the school
I love this school and I ride and die with these teams as many of you on here do. But some of you need to realize that until this team can win and win CONSISTENTLY it's going to be a struggle to get the fans to show up
The line is all the way to Minny -7 because Vegas knows that Tommy isn't playing.Line is now all the way to -7 Minny. How long do I wait for our starting QB update before I hammer Illinois to cover???
I guess I that is a possible answer.The line is all the way to Minny -7 because Vegas knows that Tommy isn't playing.
It's the Art show, buckle up.
Good! I can't wait for our defense to give Ibrahim a proper welcome back to Big Ten play tomorrow. They made the Badger's juggernaut beast of a running back a total non factor not too long ago (despite the Badger's OL being way bigger than our defense as well) . Walters will have our boys ready to make his life a living hell.They get Ibrahim back, won't have to rely exclusively on Tanner
