Jumping on the bandwagon...

[Dane Pound]

I got a call this afternoon from a Siena season ticket holder who works in my office. He asked about ticket prices and where to park for the games at the RACC. I was of course more than happy to help him in his efforts to see some high quality college basketball.

 

It's a great day to be a Great Dane fan.

No doubt he was pushed toward you by this:

To be honest, I think you will start hearing and seeing more of that over the next couple of weeks. The hardest part is getting people to come to their first game. Once people show up, I think they realize that watching basketball at the RACC is more of an intimate setting than the Pepsi. That is why over the course of time, people will elect to attend a game with 3,000-4,000 on Western Ave. than 7,000 down on South Pearl (with curtained upper levels and where season ticket holders sit on their hands the whole game).

Good-bye Siena.
