This sounds way too high. $35,000 bid/$30 per ticket is about 1166 tickets. of course there are other fees such as securty and cleanup, but my guess is 3000 tickets is all we need.
Where did you get the $35K figure from? Is that the minimum bid? I assume we bid way higher than that for us to snag a home game like we did.

Minimum bid for first round is $30,000 (+ 75% of ticket sales after that) the way I understand it.

Unless my calculator is broken.
That's in Roman calendar years ... he was counting in F**k*ing years ... which is similar to the Chinese lunar calendar. Those years are a tad shorter.

This might have been mentioned elsewhere, but they close the dorms over the Thanksgiving Holiday - that will hurt the student attendance.

However, many students have purchased tickets and ARE spreading the word to make it to the game if at all possible.

If Student tickets don't sell, they should sell them to to the general public.

I really don't think weather is advantage to one team or the other. They don't have tropical weather over there like everyone here thinks, and remember, we have our fair share of California boys on the team that may think it's pretty darn cold outside.

My nephew said students tickets not sold will be sold at the adult price on Wednesday.

I am going to step out on a limb and agree. Even the Montana boys won't be used to cold and snow. We have had a beautiful fall, not much snow (which scares me for the coming summer).

You're spot on. It's not like Furman is in Charleston or some other coastal city. Current temp in Greenville is 34, with a wind chill of 28. High today of 46. Unless there's a ton of snow in Bozeman between now and Saturday or the temperature gets down into the teens or 20s, I don't think weather will play a huge factor. What I do think will play a factor is altitude, travel distance and getting a ton of Cat fans out to the game.

The biggest factor, however, will be the fact that the Cats are a better football team right now (IMHO).
