Sanders Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:08:43 +0000 http://bluenationblog.com/?p=992#comment-532 Great idea...in theory. The problem is, rarely do the students ever purchase/use their entire allotment of 650 tickets in the eRUPPtion Zone, except for the "big" games. If you can't get them to use the entire 650 on a regular basis, you can't expect that they would use 1,000 tickets. And how bad would it look on TV to have 300-500 spots in the eRUPPtion Zone EMPTY for some games? Even this season, one of the most exciting in years, they sold tickets to the public for FOUR games for the eRUPPtion Zone during the holidays to fill it up. Great idea…in theory.
