In-N-Out burgers, animal style!!!!

Wendy nuggets are decent, McDonald's has the best tasting. Wendy burgers are way better.

 

I've been known to go to BK and get a whopper and drive across the street to McD to get fries. Don't eat that stuff much anymore.

 

Same lol. Anyway...we're off on a tangent

How are season ticket sales doing this year? I purchased two seats this year. Is UA going to do anything to try and prevent the Siena fan base from buying up the single game tickets? Or does UA not care if they do because it just means a sellout?

 

I thought maybe they'd hold 1500-2000 for students, but realized this is Albany we are talking about. Plus the game is on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.

Some Siena fans are buying season tickets to assure a seat at the game.

Someone can always alert Benson and the Ticket office. Not that they can stop them but if you know of specific people you should let them know.

Just curious...but if there is no way to stop them, what's the point of alerting said parties? Genuine question here. Will they put them in worse seats?

I have no problem with Siena fans buy season tickets, as long as they go to the majority of the games. I think it could very well convert some of the fans. That said, one has to wonder if it they buy season tickets and dont go to many of the games if the empty seats will do more harm than good.

So they're willing to pay $100-$200 premium on top of the game price just to see thisgame? Tell me again whose "Super Bowl" this game is.

It's all about money. As long as it's a sellout I don't think Benson and the admin cares who's in the building...and with students still out, could see a 60/40 split or even worse.

Still the most important thing is that the fans there get to see Albany win

No question their fan base dwarfs ours, kudos to them, I mean it. But, they've been in the business 30 years longer then us. Just keep building, just keep building! We have a solid base now that with a good product and good facilities will continue to grow.

 

The fan base will be the last domino that fall and will forever cement what we all know to be true, that UA is the flagship athletic program in the CD.

Really, if we continue to grow and invest, and we have proper leadership and vision,

we can be the legitimate flagship of New York State.

 

Don't pass up any opportunity to build and invest.

To that point, I literally could not care less if there are 500 less fans at a ho-hum conference game against Maine or something because all the LCC stooges didn't show up. By them buying season tickets, it's money in UA's pocket. Done and done.
