Bluecrewwebmaster Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Heard a rumor that we will not be in the Saviis center this year. Has anyone else heard anything about that? If so that SUCKS and all the more reason to get that on campus arena going...i fear that the Family Arena would be DETRIMENTAL to student attendence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 If it's the whole year, not just a game or two, I'll be asking for a refund. That would be ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoat Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 That would be ridiculous, I have feeling that SLU athletic dept. would never let that happen as they know that no one would come. If that happens, I predict 5,000+ per game max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBlue Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 and aren't there just as many events to compete with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think for bball about 10k. Not sure the bldg has ever had that for a sporting event. As a St Chuck resident that would kill my in season restaurant rotation. I find it hard to believe this post has any possible truth to it until I look at my season ticket renewal and the term 'Savvis Centre' is no where to be found, just my section and seat numbers. Any one gotten a Billiken Club renewal letter yet? Typically this letter has come before Season Ticket renewals and all $$ due the same time I thought so any possible upgrades could use the new donations to figure points?? The conspiracy theorist in me is going now. How would 5k per game differ from last year, not much, unfortunately. This would either be a huge,giant,big step backwards as it would alienate a whole bunch of people and possibly kill Billiken hoops for a while (try to recruit to this scenario!!) or it would rally the troops to get the Biondidome built. I hope we don't have to see this hand played..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hey there are alot of St Chuckians afraid to cross the river who really like bball. People would show for this. They get 1000 for that trash minor league bball. I really wouldn't care, it is just as far to St. Chuck as it is to Kiel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikan Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 This is not true. The problem is that for a big part of the early season there were conflicts with Saavis. The coach was upset that we could not have some early home games. I thnk he had a concern that playing all of our early games on the road with a young team could result in some losses and a loss of confidence. (That is my surmise--I did not hear him say that although I have been at meetings where he expressed some concern generally) I have heard nothing to make me believe we will not have a full home schedule at Saavis starting in December.

darrenpais Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I cant see why that would happen. At least I hope not. Even having the first few games at the family arena seems like a sucky idea. At least that would be better than having us playing on a pacific island with no TV coverage and no way for us to get info on whats going on. I think next year will be a great year for us. Having some sort of a home court advantage kick in early would be great. Playing the first few games off home court does not sound like a good plan to me.

Box and Won Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You should have received your renewal form - they went out a few weeks ago. I'd call the ticket office to have them send you another one if you haven't received it yet. And my renewal form did have my regular seats listed on it, so I would guess that we'll be playing at the Savvis again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecrewwebmaster Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 haha not trying to stir things up here, I had just heard a rumor that this was the case and rumors around SLU have had a habit of becoming reality lately, especially if the students don't like it.
