This is ridiculous. The Gold Rush game sold out by 10:10. I was not expecting a sellout so soon. Have my airline tickets and hotel reservations. All I needed was tickets. They need to add some temporary bleachers or something. Capacity is not keeping pace with demand.
There are still SRO tickets
only idaho is sold out
I’ll be a party of 3 and two of those don’t do sanding only.

Only random single seats is all I can find for every game besides Mercyhurst. What a bummer.

I think that’s gonna kill my 1 vacation this year. No way my wife can do SRO with her conditions. And the scalpers are out in full force. 300 dollars is the cheapest if you’re cool with the far corners of section 108 or 116. I hope these folks feel some shame for the kind of markup they’re putting on all the Cat Griz tix.
Shame? Why? Supply and demand! Been this way forever.

I don’t know that those would help really. There isn’t really any unused, flat area to put them. Every open area that isn’t already bleachers is SRO or the cabanas by the endzone, both of which actively have people already.

The only actual solution is expansion. ie; renovated east side and bowled in north endzone with some kind of seating on the corners. But that topic’s been beaten to death. We all know it, someone just needs to drop a cool $50 million to make it happen.

Not sure the party cabanas would like their views blocked but you might be able to fit a couple of them on each side where those Coors beer stands are located. I don't know.

I've been thinking this as well, that it will take donors to make this happen. But, the more I thought about it, why would MSU have to fund this privately? This should be paid for by MSU and paid off over many years via ticket sales. I believe that is how the west side was done. And it still may not be paid off. Someone with more knowledge will know.

Hang in there, try again. I was #49, and was able to get the single parking tickets I was after, only a 45 min wait. They E-mailed all my season tickers and the single game parking passes while I was on the phone.

I know this has been commented on ad nauseam, but I'd really like to see the master plan they have for stadium expansion. No, not that seven year old, so-called, master plan that got everyone excited, but the one that takes into account what the stadium looks like with the current BAC design and scoreboard location. I'm just a fan and not an architect, but I really can't visualize more than two or three rows of seats in the endzone, if we take into account the scoreboard location, want to put a party area underneath the stands, and don't want to cover up the views from the BAC windows. I know everyone is curious what this new endzone area will look like in the future.

My only apprehension on an updated master plan is that those things cost a lot of money. I'd rather they just work on raising money for physical changes than another vision board. Maybe send out high level communications to the public on what the next one or two projects are but that's about it. I wouldn't even expect that until the IPF officially opens.

Yeah I anticipated both end zones be sam but with the BAC probably less seats be added

I agree, I’ve been thinking the same thing.

The 20 year master plan is great, but it’s more of a big picture idea and things have changed and shifted and are bound to again as it progresses.
Now that we’re 7+ years into it and can check off a couple of the major things that were in there (BAC and IPF), I would love to see kind of a revised 10-15 year plan, but one that gets into a little more specifics on the stadium.

Is the east side really next in line? What does that look like? Same capacity, bigger, smaller, how many box suites, etc?

North endzone; are the plans to build the seating elevated to keep an area for a field level cabana/suite? Do they just do a few rows as low as they can up to the bottom of the BAC windows? Do they include some kind of “wings” for lack of a better term, in the corners of the endzone on either side of the scoreboard for more seating?

A lot of questions, all stuff that we all like to talk about and debate on here, but it’d be nice to see something a little more official and updated from the university. Realizing nothing is final until money is raised and architects/engineers have done their thing, but it’d be cool see what the updated end goal looks like now.

Hasn't been this way forever. 20 years ago could walk up and get tickets. Why do season holders get first Crack at more season tickets and single game tickets.

I'm not saying a full fledge master plan like the old one, that cost around $100K, if I remember correctly. The athletic department must have thought what the future stadium would look like though before they built the BAC and upgraded the scoreboard. I can't fathom them just plopping the BAC and new scoreboard in place and not thinking out how they would put seating in there in the future. There must be some sort of a plan of what the future would look like with these major projects in place, what an end zone would look like. Kmax has written that he saw some sort of plan to build an elevated North end zone with a party area underneath. So, the Cats must have something in place. As a longtime Bobcat fan, it's just interesting to me to see what their vision for the future of the stadium is.

There is not a lot of expansion to be had. The replacement of the East side stands to match the height and pitch of the South End Zone does not add seats. The space under the BAC adds little. The only "expansion" is the Northeast and Northwest corners which would add about 2000 seats. Beyond that you would have to build up and the last I heard was expansion over a rebuilt East side would be for suites which is not a ton of seats but a lot of money coming in. Without a major Project (tear down and rebuild) we are near capacity.

I'm sure they would, but If I had game changing money for them, then all their projects would have already been funded. I do donate more than my fair share as a regular Bobcat fan though but I don't expect for them to answer my questions. However, just for the fun of discussion, it would be nice to see what they have planned.
