That place needs to be loud for the Bills. I really hope people don’t bail. back on topic. I just bet the Bills +7.5 bc I couldn’t resist. I think my lifetime record betting my team is 1-7 . So I’m due. The 1 W was an angry/drunken “everything in my wallet” bet in Vegas last March on SLU to cover +2 2nd half against VA tech.

Oh the causal fans will most definitely bail but at least classes are cancelled so the students can drink all day. joe_davola, GBL_Bills, Billiken Rich and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People working from home and no school will give people all day to adjust plans to make getting to the game easier. School closing doesn’t change anything.

DoctorB Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 SLU Provost just closed SLU today; amazingly. I came here from Michigan State, where winter advisories actually meant something most of the time. STL peeps are so paranoid about a little snow. Game is still on, of course; I posted the email on another thread... Crewsorlose likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 According to the record book, the Chaifetz attendance record is 10,639 for a February 15 game against VCU in 2014, which was 39 over capacity. I had high hopes until the weather forecast that this would top that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict lots of locals will bail, given the weather paranoia of STL folk. Lots, meaning especially some of the wealthier patrons in the good seats. For the diehards: please leave extra early if you're coming to campus, arrive safe and sound, enjoy a beverage, and remember tip time is 6 not 7 pm: go bills!

Yep, I expect to see the lower bowl near center court fairly empty at the start of the game. I know SLU likes the revenue from those seats, but they need to figure out how to get butts in those seats. At a minimum, give the wealthy patrons the seats on the other side that aren't normally in the TV/camera shot. Bugs me to no end to see those seats empty during a lot of games.

I got lots of interested friends, most of them unafraid of apocalyptic weather scenarios; SO if any of you scaredy cats want to put some more butts in lower bowl seats, just contact me... still recall that VCU rocker, along with similar barn burners against Xavier, Butler, etc... Tonight is CAN'T MISS basketball. Don't let the paint dry on y'all. moytoy12 and billiken_roy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkelsey55 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Parking at the Compton Sigma lot doesn't open until 5:30. Parking will be a problem, get there early!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewsorlose Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've been tracking ticket prices on Stub Hub. The high was $30, it went down to $24 this am, and is back up to $30. That's a good sign. The local softie will stay away. Let's hope they at least give their tickets away or sell them. I plan to take my son, get there by 4pm, enjoy a nice dinner on campus, and get to Chaifetz by 5:30pm. Westy03 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in just one class too. Only 1000, is that true? Less than 10% of arena for students, who actually pay a pretty steep fee for such things. Too bad we cannot get some of them into the empty seats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
