Not that it totally matters, but to clarify one of birdman's points. Here are the numbers directly from BGSU reported to the NCAA. These numbers are actually from the 04-05 school year, but are quite indicative of most mid to lower tier football teams like our selves. BGSU Football Revenue $2,693,57...

I was browsing the standings on ESPN and as of right now there 72 teams that are still eligible for a bowl bid or can earn that bid with a win. There are 70 teams that are already bowl eligible and two games will determine the fate of the final two teams that can earn eligibility. Right now the MAC ...

That marshall number was the announced number, there happens to be a big difference from the announced attendance and the actual attendance. I believe per their pepsi contract a large allottment of that revenue goes to purchase a big block of tickets for each game to help us hit the NCAA min. So the...

I think your taking a very short term view on your judgement of the current AD. He continues to make good hires and it takes time to grow these sports's successes. W/L record is way down on my list of criteria when looking at the overall success of an athletic administration.

Not sure on the rows... probably about 25-30 total.

From the architectures drawings on the website total capacities look like:
Lower 1726
Upper 3044

Drew is correct, based on my talks with Athletic dept and early drawings, all seats will be theatre style except the student section which will be bleachers

-Falcon Plaza BEst Western- across from dorms, next to quarters
-Quality Inn- by waffle house

Not sure on names
-not sure off the top, but the motel on wooster that has the bar, right next to el zarape
- one behind bob evans and frickers

That email blast only comes from the ticket office email address, I'm pretty sure that would be a marketing failure not ticketing.

OU is notorious to jackin ticket prices sky high for parents weekend, homecoming, and the Miami game. Otherwise I believe their tickets are fairly priced in the under $20 category.

Lord is right on the Buffalo tickets. They sell one kind of ticket for all games and its $30.

i know the ticket office recently switched over their ticketing software. The implementation of such systems don't always go as planned so that could probably be the root cause of your frustrations.

martin-
if BG is going to charge for streaming radio, then their affiliates can't be streaming free, BG has to protect the distribution channel. Almost all D1 colleges charge for this service.

no audio on ESPN3 here either

I was told last year that the company would be replacing the chairs because they were guaranteed to not fade. It appears from pictures the new chairs are just the right color but are still the uncomfortable old chairs.

33- I think it comes down to being fiscally responsible...why build something that will be hardily use as opposed to creating demand. The old model was to keep building bigger, look at the schools that built huge facilities and can't come close to filling them. I think BG is charting some new ground...

GC made it clear that there were some outlandish restrictions for any of those big schools to come to BG. I think its good to know that he stood up for the mid-majors and didn't give in to the 3 for 1's or other redic offers, as a side note Wake Forest hired a new coach today.
