My grad student buddies are not happy about this possibility... I know there's a lot more excitement about basketball this year, but do you think it will translate into that many more students actually pulling tickets? I went to about 10 games last year with them and I think the student section only filled up a couple times. Granted, that was before we made the NCAA tournament. I know a sports pass doesn't guarantee you a ticket to anything, but to change the policy after people have already paid for them seems kinda wrong. Good problem to have, I guess, but I feel bad for my buddies because they really love basketball (UK undergrads)...

Tough problem to fix, but a good one to have. They will probably just have to implement some kind of pull strategy like they suggested.

I really don't like this sugested policy, but it won't effect me, so eh.

i think it's stupid

[hmiles619]

let the people who really want to go to games show up early for them. The way they're proposing, they'll keep the best fans out of the games

Get rid of pulling in advance and the first students to the game get seats I guess. But then I wouldn't like if I paid for an all sports pass and wasn't able to use it for all sports because I couldn't get there early enough. Luckily lots of games will be on tv. Will we see them get rid of whatever the hell thats supposed to be on the East side and add seats?

They built Reed to small in the first place I know when it was made the basketball teams weren't good and now there is a need. I agree Super they do need to add seats some how.
