Zipgrad1990 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 So Says Syracuse-based Fish Origami ExpertWow, it sure would be nice to win there after that prediction.Much is made of their $16.67 per ticket season ticket package. UA's tickets are much cheaper, but then again we don't guarantee we will win any of our games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 It's just like the pre-season rags. They don't bother doing any research, and just base their prediction off of last year's record and how many starters return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just booked my hotel and ordered my tickets through the UA ticket office today. I can't wait for this one! While I still think a win over the Orange in the dome would constitute a mild upset, I'm certainly not read to concede I hope anyone who can make it is there, and that everyone who is there is LOUD. Being indoors, I can easily envision a few hundred of us getting noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just to let everyone know, tickets for the Syracuse game are available at the UA ticket office for $36. I've seen them cheaper ($15-20) on "broker sites", but you might not end up sitting near the bulk of the other Zip fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them cheaper ($15-20) on "broker sites", but you might not end up sitting near the bulk of the other Zip fans.The game will no where be close to a sellout...expect 30,000-35,000 if we are 1-0 and 25,000 to 30,000 if we are 0-1. Plenty of cheap tickets can be had around the Dome...should be able to get a ticket for $10-15. BTW, don't worry about where the ticket is located. The ushers do not check your tickets with the crowds being so light. So you can always buy a ticket on the street and move over to the official Akron section. BTW, the Dome serves beer up to the beginning of the 2nd half. If the temperature for the game is predicted to be higher than 65-70 degrees--wear shorts and a t-shirt. The Dome gets very hot.

BTW, where would be the best "sports bar" type of place to head to on Friday night to get into some good natured discussion/ribbing, etc. about college football with other Akron and Syracuse fans?

Armory Square crowds run from the early 20s up to aging baby boomers. For a Brew Pub/sports bar in Armory Square try Syracuse Suds. A few blocks north of Armory Square is Dinosaur BBQ...it is always loaded with Cuse and Visiting Fans. You can checkout the bars on Friday on Marshall Street on the the SU campus--there is one sports bar on the campus--not sure what the Friday night crowds are (tend to think college aged). Out in the 'burbs try the Buffalo Wild Wings in Cicero or any of the Tully's Sports Bars usually have fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip N' Dots Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'll be heading to the game. I got on a bus with some akronites for a 3 day trip. 2 days of golf, 1 night at the casino and 1 mild upset. GO Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
