Ruston Regional

[sportdawg]

Tech release last night shows 1:00 and 6:00. Regionals always allow 5 hours between game so stadium can be cleared between games.

That's what I thought. Earlier, ESPN had the Bama/NC State game at 2pm, but now shows 1pm Schedule | Watch ESPN

Is this going to be the most "in demand" ticket for a sports event in Tech's history of athletics?

I think it's going to be very hard for non-season ticket holders, especially those that are not LTAC members to get decent seats...

I've already had 11 requests from friends wanting to know if I had any of my tickets available or if I could purchase tickets for them -

Going to be a true SRO crowd. Great for Tech...but, I posted we should have done something different with the new stadium. Here ya go!

Already hearing there will be no chairbacks left by tomorrow.

Damn, was hoping to get a chairback seat. Maybe I can buy one from somebody for nc state and bama since there likely won’t be any way to get them for the tech games.

Glad I have berm seats at least. Guess I need to buy some season tickets for next year.

start watching stub hub tomorrow and early Thursday. If the Arkansas/Ole Miss fans purchase they will put them up as soon as they pay

I like it just as it is -

Finally my years of LTAC contributions and being a season ticket holder in baseball (which seems like forever) is finally paying off for me...

Hope the RF looks like this (Ole Miss berm seating outfield)

Man are they really doing that. That’s some bs.

The smallest regional capacity site by 2-3K easily. Every Tech game will be a sellout. RF and LF full. Next time we host they might want to consider temp bleachers down RF line. I know the park was built to be intimate all season. I'm sure season tic sales may be complete sell out for next season which may be first time in history of program & is a good problem to have.

Our own people did not purchase all available season tickets so Arkansas and Ole Miss fans, knowing they were not likely to get general admission, purchased season tickets. Not sure how many, but I'd say well over 100. Probably close to 200.

It was close to this for Arkansas. I have it on my phone if I can figure out how to post it. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder between the RF black iron fence and the RR track.

[BruceWillisDawg]

Not sure what the capacity is for RF berm but it is not unlimited. Guessing it will be sold out also with all session purchases by tomorrow.
SO why again did we not build a little bigger stadium? Just 500 more seats? BEAUTIFUL facility, impeccable but too small. 1400 chairback seat correct? Went to games in old stadium with over 3K in attendance and definitely 2500. Why we thought 1000 less was good is still beyond me.
I know, this thread has been beat to death but if you plan to host regionals then dont build the smallest regional host site in the country OR add some temp seating. So for the fan that would have come to the regional but did not get to experience it because no seats - doesnt that ultimately work against us. Would we rather look more full during the regular season or have some room for potential growth that is inevitable when you host a regional, and the experience of being at the game creates more future routine tic sales.

This year against Arkansas was the first time I've seen SRO since the last time we played Arkansas.

Saturday against USM, there were plenty of extra seats to be had.

The stadium will be sold out and full of Tech fans other than those tickets we are required to make available to visitors.

USM has hosted a conference tournament and at least one regional. They had plenty of room left and bargain priced tickets for the CUSA tournament. Not sure about the regional, but I'm betting it was not SRO.
