Tickets could be availible at the door, but if Seahawk Nation comes out in full force again who nows what can happen, it might be hard to find seating or get in the gym. It was hard to hear anything the final few minutes...an elderly man had an eardrum burst late in the second half of Saturdays game causing a slight delay.

Hail the Hawks.

First of all...neither night was a packed house. Seating capacity is 1,200 and the first night drew 1,053 fans and the second night drew 871. With that said, I would expect this grouping of teams (and fan bases) to get to capacity this weekend. Each team will have their pre-determined allotment of tickets by tomorrow to sell in advance - so I would recommend those interested in attending to buy them from the school that they support rather than wait for general sales. It may not get to general sales this weekend if the crowds are going to be there as expected.
Secondly, as someone who was at St. Mary's for the entire weekend, at no point did anyone alert someone on staff of a medical situation in which someone's eardrum burst - and there was no delay in the game caused by such an event. The media timeouts on the other hand are an entirely different story!

Good luck to St. Mary's this weekend. Certainly getting to play at home where they haven't lost all season is a huge edge. Good luck and represent the CAC!

Flintstone - I was on hand has well for the entire weekend... saw nothing that you speak of... and any "delays" were all based on media timeouts - including the "extra" ones that shouldn't have been in there! (Having fun with those I know reading this who are in-the-know

)

d-mac:

Tell that to the officiating crews....

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · March 09, 2010, 11:27:13 AM

LOL - I actually did try via the NCAA rep at the game... he agreed on the rule... but still the buzzer sounded!

jams0325 · March 09, 2010, 03:52:53 PM

SMCM should fire their clock operator then...he obviously doesn't know what he is doing!

jams0325 · March 09, 2010, 04:03:13 PM

Just spoke with someone "in the know" at SMCM...they sold out of their allotment of 600 tickets in less than five hours today. Should be interesting down there on Friday evening.

Reserved Seat · March 09, 2010, 04:25:30 PM

How is that SMCM had 600 tickets to sell and F&M received 200?

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · March 09, 2010, 04:30:50 PM

I have always been suspect of the clock operator at SMC!

And reserved seat... I believe the home team ALWAYS gets more of the tickets allotted to them in the tournament.

This will certainly add more fuel to the discussion on the location of the game, even though we've heard enough.

Reserved Seat:

Host institutions get half of the seating in the arena. The other half is split equally by the three traveling teams. With an arena of 1,200 like at SMCM - SMCM gets 600 tickets while the other three teams split the other 600 (600/3 = 200 each). Winners on Friday will get 600 each for Saturday, unless SMCM advances. If that happens, SMCM gets 2/3 (800) as the host, while the other team would get 1/3 (400). All of this is outlined in the championship manual.

And it was the same rule that F&M benefited from when hosting sectionals.
