Z.I.P. Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Why in the hell am I able to sit here tonight & watch the silly, little (God bless 'em) McKinley-Lake high school football game and we weren't able to get the freaking Info opener on tv?Cause most everyone that was interested was watching in person? Just a thought. How many FBS-FCS games are televised in a given week? Few if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroo Craig Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm more surprised that it wasn't sold out. The announced crowd was about 27,800 something. I thought the place held 30,000. I also thought that they were turning students away who wanted tickets. Are they not counting no shows anymore?

zipdiehard Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 not to hijack the thread, but I wonder how accurate the 27,000 number was, or what it actually represents. they couldn't get my kids wristbands to scan, nor one of our other tickets. the guy commented to me that they were having problems with the kid ticket wristbands all day.if I had to guess on why no TV: we can't get people to come normally, why give them an "out" to sit at home. true Zips fans wouldn't have missed the game for any reason.

scottditzen Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Whether it's day or night, I can not wait to see just how photogenic the Info looks on television!!! Will the absolute fervor and energy I witnessed on Sat. translate well on the big screen?Of course, I will be at all the games, so maybe I won't see it on t.v. any time soon. p.s. while we're talking television, I have to say the the JAR (somehow) looks absolutely great for the Zips games on ESPN or Fox Sports.

And does it include the loges, club seats, etc. or just the regular tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can (not sure why they didn't Saturday) sell 3,000 more Standing room/Berm seating tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said friday night's game bteen St V/M and ABHoban is the fso game of the week on tv. And of course the UA/IU game is on espnU.

Blue & Gold Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I wouldn't die on this hill, but I think we should televise as many games as possible. People are trained to believe that an event is a big deal if it's on tv. We need the people of NEO to start considering Zips games to be a big deal.As an aside - the Info is so well designed and so impressive, that if they would have announced an attendance figure of 40,000 I don't think many would have doubted it.
