Yes. I noticed real engagement in the game. Have we changed admissions policies? The students, like the Mob, were fantastic

It was obvious that many students and parents left at half-time because they had dinner plans, and the game appeared lost. But, those that stayed were rewarded.

On ticket marketing, I asked my ticket representative how season ticket sales were going? She happily said, "we may pass 4,000 today". All I could think of, was no wonder they haven't announced sales in at least two years. That's pathetic.

My group commented that as they switched end zones each overtime period that all the people scurrying from one end of the stadium to the other must have been what it looked like on the Titanic when they were down to the last lifeboats...

Yes it was a mad dash back and forth as the OT play changed ends of the field. Students were wonderful!
Long live Inez Perez!

I only remember seeing a TV shot showing both stands once during the broadcast and the crowd looked quite decent and a big change from the usual I expect..

Go Ponies !
