Cyclone Student Section

1) Some of the props are just dumb, save the money and sponsor a roadtrip... I love roadtrips.
2) People should just get drunk before games. You'll have less to ***** about on a messageboard after the game and more to scream about during the game.

Great post, outside of the first line. I really enjoyed the Hoiberg jerseys. I believe CA has really cut down on props this year too by the way. It seemed like last year they were giving out dumb wrist bands or those yelling funnels every game.
I liked the wrist bands and yelling funnels more than suspenders and fuzzy hats...
There are a few reasons for this:
First, the tickets are sold, just not in use. It doesnt help that its incredibly hard to sell tickets. The rest of us with regular-priced seating can easily sell our tickets on CF or elsewhere. Students have a much harder time doing this, as they cant just give away a CA shirt with their ticket. I dont know if they check student ids for BB, but its even worse for FB since you need that ID, so your pool of potential buyers goes way down.
Second, CA hurts the draw because before, it was all GA. Everyone could have a chance at a lower level seat. If you didnt get it, you were already there so you might as well go up to the upper deck. Now if you're not CA, you know you're going to be stuck up in the worst part of the upper deck.
Thirdly, due to the fact that the student sections are GA, their attendance or lack thereof is a lot more pronounced. If a section is 10-20% empty in the rest of the parquet, it doesnt look nearly as bad because those seats are scattered. In the student section however, since everyone pushes to the front, you're left with one gaping hole of seats. It creates an impression of bad attendance even if its no worse than the rest of the arena.
Exactly. Why should people have to pay for all those gimmicks just to sit in the lower bowl?
So you pay $10 a game for really good seats.
Yeah, that's a ridiculous price.
The only issue I have is that there isn't an option for those who want to go to a few games but don't want to buy season tickets because they know they wont get to all of them.
And being in the upper deck as a student sucks. It's hard to feel like you are involved. Same goes for football games though. You get out of attending games as what you put in. I've had a blast this season.
The jersey was cool...that being said I also haven't had it out since that day and rarely see anyone wearing them around campus and only a couple at games.
I'm fine with paying the $30 if it's put to good use like the road trips (and by road trips I mean one's with buses not trying to fill every seat of three or four 15 passenger vans with fully grown adults and then get frustrated and mad when people want to leave instead of practically sitting on a strangers lap for 4 hours. The stupid frilly hats, suspenders, bow ties, and even yesterdays hats are useless and won't ever be worn by 99% of the people receiving them outside of that game. Just put the money to better use.
Oh and the couple of you that are fiercely defending them, I applaud you but listen to what people are saying and how many of us are saying it.

I agree I would definitely pay the $30 to have more cheap road trips and game watches.
