I'm sure they're busting tail, they have a difficult job. And I'm pulling for them! You hit it on the head; being an NCAA event, hosted by UC Davis, all freebies have to be purchased first, then distributed. We should have asked each school within the University to purchase some seats for their faculty, whatever. Or given them any extras. I'd set up a tent in front of the library and on campus Saturday up until dark giving away tix. Whatever it takes. If we can hit a legit 8k it's a great sign and shows well on TV

Our average attendance this season is 12,991. This is a 14.6% increase from last season at 11,335. Last playoff game attracted 6,317 people. With a 14.6% increase, that would be 7,240 people. If we hit that number, then I'll be content.

I have to say, the lack of UC Davis support from the city of Davis is just unacceptable. I was just downtown getting a some lunch with my wife and the place is dead. You would have no idea a national televised game would be happening here in 24 hours....What is the deal? This is a perfect time to be promoting Davis and the community. Very disappointing.

My impression is that some of the business owners do care, but not the city at large

they are giving away tickets to local youth teams and their families.

Got 2 more people coming than before!!!!! Up to 5!

Hopefully more lights!!!!!! Gets pretty dark out there.

is rocko reading our threads?

I'm sure some staff are. They should have had a game plan together last week.

exactly, why announce all this stuff the day before

Are you still a student or on campus?

My weather channel says 44 to 47 degrees tomorrow night, minimal wind, 100% humidity at 10 PM. Is that fog?

FAILURE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW! I asked a friend who follows ICA, attends sporting events, and was on the central campus this week if he saw anything: "Nothing. Not a thing. No hype."

He assumes they possibly sent email to students.

"I rode Unitrans this week and saw nothing."

It gets worse.

Nothing on The Aggie main page.

Nothing in the Sports section. No football coverage in almost three weeks, nothing on the Causeway Classic, the playoffs, or the ESPN / playoff game.

Parking is sold out, which is a bit of a bummer. But, that's a good sign people are showing up!

That doesn't include day-of parking over by the hot houses, does it?

No idea what that means. I'm just talking about lot 53 on the ticketing website.

I thought someone here (jdur?) was posting about the advertising that was being done in campus, which is out of the norm. Or did I hear that on the zoom and/or lunch?

I think it was jdur, it sounded like electronic or TV ads, which is one dimension.

Let's go!

GO AGS! BEAT RHODY!

Lol Rhody practiced at Sac State? They've cursed themselves with all the bad juju over there right now.

Game day. Go Ags, beat the Rhodys. Go Illinois State!
