Any way, with the game at noon and the Ball at 6, I think I can handle both. I do despise the Well as a basketball venu (it is excellent for hockey) because of the parking, the seats, the horrid sight lines, the overwhelming number of steps to climb, ten dollar beers and 5 dollar water. But if my Paladins are playing there, I ignore all that shiznit and go to the game. And I will not have to wear a suit to the game.
We will prolly play all our home games there while the new arena is being built.Glad to see you posting hang!
Woffy at Furman (BSW) - February 22
Glad to see you posting hang!
The Bell Tower Ball is a fairly new celebration. Since the Heritage Society has stopped having a more modest party for its members, and since the participants seem to be about the same, I have always GUESSED that the Bell Tower Ball is for the Heritage Society. Never cared enough to ask. It always takes place in Feb, always on Saturday, and usually on the night that we play Wofford (a fact that I believe to be sheer coincidence). I think it started about the time our Prez took office, so it must be her idea, or the idea of one of her lieutenants. It is a big bash. Black Tie optional. As I have no Black Tie and no desire for one, I wear a suit. The Heritage Society is comparable to "Major Donors". It means that FU is in your will and will get some cash when you croak.
Check out the Timmons remodel thread. Just speculating that ti might be a new arena instead of a Timmons remodel but prolly a Timmons remodel is more likely.purplehorse wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 12:55 pmI guess I missed something.

Just looked and there are only 64 sideline tickets left for Saturdays game. Of course this does not include general admission and the student sections on the floor. Looks like they are still not selling tickets in the 4 corner sections which they did for uncg.
They will open those once the rest of these are gone, which will be sometime tomorrow most likelyapaladin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 9:05 pmJust looked and there are only 64 sideline tickets left for Saturdays game.

They have opened up the two corner sections on the side with the benches. Looks like some new seats are available in section 104 that are close to the floor. They have not opened the corner sections on the opposite side and there are no seats left on that side. Would love to know how many GA tickets have been sold. Hope the students show up but again FU scheduled some events that will prolly hurt student attendance but hope not.
This disinterest isn’t just on their board. Last year they ranked fourth in conference for avg attendance for home games at 2858, now....7th, 2130. We’ve been more consistent at 6th for both years.

I guess they only appreciate that big arena Uncle Jerry gave them when they’re in first place.
They should open the top balcony sections. The comfort of the fan should mean something rather than forcing people to the sections they want to sell.
I understand where your coming from but opening any part of the top would not only take away from atmosphere of filling the bottom out but also would require more personnel to man that area of the arena which would cost Furman more $.
There are still good seats to purchase in sections 100, 105, 111 and 116.
Honestly if someone wanted to be more near center court they should have gotten tickets a long time ago.
