Dave St. Peter just tweeted that ticket sales are at 35,000 and rising.

Side note: anyone that uses #TOJO to refer to the game/rivalry deserves a tomahawk chop to the throat. You sound like idiots.

My fav is #TOJO1941
Then there's #wideleft and the timeless #tommiessuck

So it looks like I'm going to swing by Fulton before heading over to the Tommie pre-party at Kieran's. Any of you Johnnie smokefest royalty going to be there? I might be the lone Tommie...an island of class, so to speak...
At Fulton, be sure to announce your arrival by wearing your purple blazer with the UST crest embroidered on the left chest pocket  ;)

Funny. I actually have an embroidered sport coat from one of my other universities. We wear them at alumni golf outings and cocktail parties. Sort of like the Johnnies and their red beer helmets...

They are opening up a couple sections they didn't anticipate ever selling tickets for in the upper deck deep out along the 1st baseline. This is a little crazy and way over what I thought when I first heard about ticket prices. This thing is going to come in near sellout. Every downtown bar is marketing to pre & post game festivities. Wonder if the crazy Bizon fans will be able to match this in 2019.

Regarding TOJO, damn millennials and their silly hashtags. I prefer #63-7

Even though the Bison travel better than most FBS teams to big games, if they ask too much for tickets they won't sell out.  Butler isn't a credible opponent for them.

Just a reminder of what this board thought attendance would be -- even I thought the price point was too high.

The Dome was terrible and UST was average. Now both teams are perennial Top 10s playing at an awesome (albeit, baseball) stadium.

And my comment back then still stands - should have been a night game - or at least a late afternoon game.

Meh. The longer kids drink before the game, the more problems. I'm chill with the 1pm start.

My groupon prediction wasn't quite necessary.  People are now paying $13 for seats that won't have a view of one of the end zones.

miac952

The majority of the dirt infield being in play stinks, but they did maximize the highest number of "best viewing angle seats" with that layout. The only truly terrible spots are RF plaza seats and way out along the first baseline by the Metropolitan Club.

2018 here we come. TOJO is bigger than Target Field, bigger than Taj ma Ziggy, bigger than the BIG House itself. Lets really blow the roof off this thing and go big with 150,000 capacity in Pyonyang, North Korea.






Mr.MIAC

So are the Bennies okay with their Johnnies heading to the big city en masse? There are so many temptations. In addition to Tommie coeds, it must be fun to talk with people who aren't a direct relation.
