Re: Will the Villanova Game Sell Out the Stadium?

The beer garden in general was a good idea and I think it will
add to the game experience for many fans.
The decision to have an awkward separation within the garden
between season ticket holders and individual ticket holders is a
peculiar one and I'd suggest one unseparated beer garden
w/picnic benches would make much more sense. Many times those
with season tickets are accompanied to the game by those who
have purchased individual tickets and vice versa. Plus it just
looks strange (I was on both sides last week v Richmond). I
realize they are still working out the kinks in what is
otherwise a very good idea.

One thing we all forget is that Hofstra was in the CAA for a
long time and their attendance was actually worse than SBU's
which eventually made the school give up football,
The one thing that we have is we have a great venue located in a
really nice area of Long Island. I just believe until the
students come out on a regular basis attendance will stay in the
4,000 range.
Also when President Kenney was here she loved football president
Stanley is not like her

Its not season ticket holders vs. non-season ticket
holders...one is the beer garden, the other is the touchdown
club (which is additional to just being a season ticket
holder)...I believe everything is free in the touchdown club,
hence the separation...that is an idea though, that there should
be some way to flow between the 2, but I am sure they'd want to
ensure that the tables and games over there were left available
for touchdown club members. The touchdown club also has better
sightlines with the scoreboard not being right in front of them.
However, I have no problem with those that join the touchdown
club being treated better, as they should be.

What makes you think Stanley doesn't like football? How he feels
about the game personally I'm not entirely sure about, but based
on his actions thus far, and his comments about FBS in the
future, I have no reason to believe Stanley is anything less
than 110% behind SBU football and athletics in general. I've
heard JMU fans rip their president for wanting to stay in the
FCS, not take the Sun Belt invite, etc. Other schools respect
our commitment to athletics and willingness to spend money on
our programs.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I just popped up to the beer garden buy
a beer at halftime and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Although
more expensive, it was a lot quicker than a trip to the
car...and I got to see the band.

Good for you Wolffan. If you can tolerate drinking Bluepoint
beer, then go for it..

This is going to be a tough game for SB. Oddsmaker has V
winning. Not a total surprise considering V beat Temple and SB
got smoked by Temple and AF. With that said. This is a home game
and SB has the backing of the home crowd. If Carbone van just
step up his game a little more and his passing game breaks 200
yards for the game, we got a chance.

I think the TD Club has free food too, so if you don't have the
time to consistently set up a tailgate, its not a bad deal...I
think $200 for the year (but thats only you, guests have to pay
$50/game)...if I am right and food and drinks are free, thats
not bad if you grab a bite and have a couple beers each game
