I feel like some of you just want to bitch about Swarbrick and Kelly. We know this streak has been a sham for years and last minute "friends", as Swarbrick said, bought blocks of tickets to keep this imagined sellout streak alive. I've been in the stadium for a lot of "sellouts" where it was 90-95% capacity. I had a row to myself with my daughter and a couple others at the New Mexico game.

...the high end seat to the desirable games on the tiered pricing package much more than offsets the unsold seats that will now come.
That is what this was designed for and he's happy the day is finally here...so he can end the charade that has been going on for some time.
Also,. he was right about the inequity of charging the same for different value seats...however what actually happened was not taking the existing cost and distributing it more evenly. It was to inflate the cost and then to tier it based on seat quality.
Let's at least be honest about it and not pretend that he was Robin Hood out to protect the end-zone nose-bleed patrons for some reason..
.. because your game has been on point lately; you've been more dominant, imposing and ACCURATE than ever before.
He didn't think that the sell-out thing as a big deal but then he facilitated the big lie?
He only officially ended the big lie because the empty seats have become so obvious.
Another gem: “And so it was important to me that people not say, ‘Hey, you raised the prices to gouge me.’”
That was exactly what people said because in the beginning all they did was raise prices. They didn't actually lower the crappy seats until it became clear that ND fans weren't sappy enough to sit in the end zone in November for $75 to watch Navy.
All in all, this interview is a lame attempt to counter all the things ND fans have been saying about the whole ticket price issue which he could have dealt with a long time ago if he wanted to. He only did this because he was force to by empty seats.

And half a billion in Crossroads Pastry has sure improved our chances.
In the great days, no one needed such things. Must be newfangled stuff like that...

You would tout the streaks in Brian Kelly's briefs if you could figure out a way...
They don't want to do anything that takes time. Like watch sports, play golf, read books.
Takes away from being zombie-tethered to their devices.
product being produced.
We need an atmosphere like Geogia home games We are like a tea party at an assisted living except for the students.
The same applies to ND, and any other school.
