Rally House, Arch Apparel(if that's your style has a couple brick n morters), Arena Shop carries select t-shirts from Homefield albeit the least attractive designs IMO, you might be able to catch the Bookstore open.

slufan06 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 You guys are the best. Was able to pick up some gear at Rally House. I’ll check out the gift shop at Chaifetz tonight. It’s my son’s first game, so hoping we go on a run to finish out the season heading into Brooklyn. go bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to the game 45 minutes prior to tip-off, they were all gone. I only make it to 1 or 2 home games a year (2 this year, this one and the Memphis game) because of distance. One thing I don't understand, folks leaving with 2 minutes left on the clock. This game was anybodies game with only a few seconds before the final buzzer. I had a aisle seat and what annoyed me is these folks walking up the steps and blocking my view. Anyway, a win against a hot team. willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son had a great experience and I’m glad we held on for the win! Roland Gray holds a Billiken record that may never be broken. Single Season 3FG% of 0.500, minimum 50 attempts. He did just that in 1988-89 hitting 56 of 112 attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC1764 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Sports are the only reason the suburbanites want to come to the city. They don’t want to stay too long around those people if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got your boy some gear and he got to see a win. So important for alumni and fans to get the next gen involved early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I left with like 5+ minutes to go. We were out all day and had a needy dog to get home to, actually ended up getting home before the game even ended. I’ve become the old man, let’s beat traffic home this season. I suppose I find myself not overly caring enough to stick around the entire game (if we even go to the games), I don’t know. Won’t happen against Dayton though! This isn’t Billiken specific either, I’m just not as passionate about any of the teams I root for at this point in my life which I assume is why we won’t bother with season tickets much longer. Maybe save that $ and just go to two or three games a season, one road trip, and then ideally some post season trip either conference tournament or post season and just watch the games on tv? I know, bad fan, but I’m not sure the last game I was there for the final horn (SIUE maybe?) and don’t regret missing anything. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks won’t have to worry about me cutting out early much longer though, I assume based on our usage of the tickets this will be our last season doing so. With the COVID season and then spending a month in Florida last winter, I think we got accustomed to not going to games and haven’t gotten back into wanting to go to every home game. And then maybe for those few games I do go to I will want to stay for the entirety of the game? This fall I’m going to the Ryder Cup, so my sports expenses will be high just from that! Might save my spending on the Billikens for a road trip and the conference tournament. Slu let the dogs out? likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think multiple years in a row of high preseason hopes and ending up being let down have took a toll on my fandom. I care less than I ever had. Have gone from couldn’t wait to go back to games during COVID to at this point this season not caring about going to the games. I didn’t even feel like this in the 5 win season.

I never thought it would happen to me but with a wife, 2 kids under 4, and a job that involves more travel, and moving from 5 minutes from the arena to 35 minutes I've missed more games this season than I have all together in a decade. I hope that if we were good I wouldn't have missed so many games as I was the most excited about this team preseason than I have been in a long time. Add in my father's health problems, as we had to switch seats 3 times and now are permanently in the handicapped seats. With all the games on TV and the coverage we get, it's almost too easy to stay home. I think a change in Head Coach will reinvigorate my fandom. That said I'd let my dog pee on my rug before I ever left a game early. JMM28 and rgbilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
