AS I rember we sold about 200 tickets(something like 186 sticks in my mind) to New Orleans last year so 100 sounds about right. I'll say what I said last year, until we travel better, we can't be taken too seriously by the general public, 7 or 8 TV games or not, and we have a pretty tame fan base.
I'm not saying you're wrong Chick, but if my memory serves, I thought they had to halt entry into the Bobcat bash at 200. I would be surprised if it was <200. (and I'm sure we could find out officially) Regardless, your comment holds that the fan base is still in a growing stage. Long ways to go.
The operative word here is sold. You are right about the Bash, except that many people at the Bash did not buy tickets to the game, because they had comp(staff, parents, etc) tickets. The students did not buy tickets as I recall, but paid mostly for the transportation with the tickets thrown in. I was in town for parts of 3 days -and except for game day -most people with green on were Band Members.
I recall something like $10,000 in ticket sales for Ohio and that's where the 200 number came in. My memory may be a little rusty, but when the dollar amount came out, I was amazed it was so low.
Sorry, Youngstown I didn't see your post. I'm saying that the university buying tickets for the students doesn't count in my number sold as there is no income involved.
