You're just off on this one

1. Why call it a "home game" if the team you are playing 1) has equal number of tickets allocated, and 2) in this case, another 17,000 are going to what will be 95% Wisconsin fans. There is little Swarbrick can do about the deal The Packers have with their own fans but the equal split of remaining tickets is just a fuck-up, pure and simple. The worst deal should have been 35/25 split given the Packers take, so I have begun to shift my opinion that Swarbrick is quite the idiot on this one.

2. The notion that "season ticket" holders are the only ones with a stake in the program versus the alumni who have donated faithfully for decades is just uninformed and naive. The big bulk of ND "season ticket" holders are corporations, corporate partners (like Anthony Travel, NBC, Under Armour, etc) and other "special" folks, who will end up giving tickets to people who have little affiliation with ND. In addition, given the history of ticket sales at ND for big games (see Nebraska, Georgia, etc), there will be a chunk of high roller alums who will get tickets who have no interest in going to the game with the sole purpose of putting them on Stub Hub, etc, sell to the highest bidders or take care of personal pals with no connection to ND.

What is left is a large chunk of long time, loyal ND alums who have supported ND programs for decades but can't afford to keep up with the Jones' in terms of sheer $ who will likely get left out of being able to attend this game in this incredibly inept deal.

If you think that is whining, then so be it. You clearly have little clue as to the dynamics here.

          • We clearly need more savvy folks like you in the ND athletic department - D2 - 10:00pm 2/16/20
            • And to have it in Wis we split the tickets. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:21pm 2/17/20

    • maybe the Soldier Field game will have the same allocation [NT] - holybull101 - 12:12pm 2/15/20

          • My point was that I'm not sure the AD is focused on anything more than the big revenue picture. - Curly1918 - 7:52am 2/17/20
          • I got his point - and yet ND needing revenue wasn’t his point [NT] - jimbasil - 4:54pm 2/15/20
