How many Apps? How many Minutemen?

[YesAppCan]

How many fans will each school bring to Chattanooga Friday night? I hope its bunches.

How many fans will each school bring to Chattanooga Friday night? I hope its bunches.


according to the site, ASU originally requested 7,500 tickets but have now requested 12k or more. UMASS requested 1,000 tickets and says they probably won't use them all. I know in my crew heading there we are bringing around 30 people. :nod:

here is the site info for the repeat

I dont know where you got the impression that we wont use all 1000. From what im told... UMass wants more as well.

I skimmed through that...looks like they said they didn't use even half their allotted last time but hope to use all 1,000 this time. I for one hope they bring a ton. I always like talking to opposing fans before the game

[DrG]

In '98, we had about 800 there (as opposed to GSU's 10,000). I'm hoping we do a lot better this year, but we will be heavily outnumbered by ASU fans.

Our group has 24 tickets in hand and will be "Mountaineer Loud and Proud"in Nooga.

[appfan2008]

I will be in a group of three but you better believe we will be loud and proud as well!!!!!!

[gamesaver22]

Umass sold 423 ticket in 98. that pretty weak for a National Chapionship no matter what the travel distance is!!!!!

[gamesaver22]

4 hours 22 minutes From Boone, What is it from umass

[DFW HOYA]

App: 11,500
UMass: 250

Don't rag on the UMass fans too much--it's not like Amherst to Chatt with less than seven days advance purchase is a bargain.

Let's see a game in, say, Albany and then see who brings the fans...

[gamesaver22]

No one is saying travel time does not matter, just stating that the Apps will have the "Home Feild Advantage" in Chatanooga no matter what side they get put on

Start address: Amherst, MA

End address: Chattanooga, TN

Distance: 989 mi (about 19 hours 53 mins)

[Zangzigger]

The 350 Member UMass Minuteman Marching Band: The Power and Class of New England will be there in full force!

[rjg129]

I will be there

[ASU Addict]

I know I will be going. I'm going with three others. I hope App fans fill the stadium.

[ASU Kep]

I think App will bring as many as can find tickets. A lot of students and alums are very concerned here that it's going to sell out early. I plan on getting to the ticket office tomorrow morning around 7 (it opens at 9) to get some tix. Unfortunately most students were unable to purchase tickets last night following the game due to our *ahem* "post-game pep rally."

Kep don't get there before me :D I've got at least 22 coming in my group. Like Kep said...there will be as many App fans as there are tickets.

22, wow! I just might have to make it 6:30 now to make sure my 5 or so tickets are still there. :D

[Peems]

how many "nonfans" go? meaning not members of either school?

[HiHiYikas]

how many "nonfans" go? meaning not members of either school?
Quite a few, as I recall from last year. I sat in the general section (not part of either school's allotment), and there were a good handful of local Chattanoogans.

Good folks who like good football. Generally ASU fan-like.

What kind of tailgate plans do all you ASU fans have?

Not sure. With an 8:00 kickoff, don't know what works. I am thinking about:

1) Friday late morning do brunch somewhere;
2) Get to tailgate area & set up shortly thereafter;
3) Fix late afternoon dinner on grill;
4) Go to Pavilion about 2 hrs. before kickoff.

Would welcome alternate suggestions from other fans w/ families at the game. Also, need info on where tailgate area is, unless it is same as last year.

[Old Cage]

This is NOT a defense for any UMass fan not being there, but football is not the sport that sells the most tickets over the course of the fall/winter season.

Our hoops team (8-2) is about to hit the road to play Louisville and Kentucky. The Final Four appearance we made in 96 will never fade away for our fans. Our hockey team (which is ranked) is heading for a tournament in Minneapolis.

Those events are not this weekend, but many of our fans have long ago made reservations to go on one or the other of those trips. There is only so much time and so many dollars.

Our lax team made the Final Four in lacrosse in Philly (55,000 a day in the new Eagles stadium). We beat Maryland in the semis before losing two days later to Virginia so that was another extended road trip. We had a lot of folks there (including me) because it was within driving distance.

I would be pleased if we gather 1,000+ (not including the 350 in our band). It's a 19 hour or so drive and not a cheap flight. I will be there.

[Mountaineer#96]

I will be there with a group of 12.

[appisgreatest]

I will be there with a group of 8 :hurray:

[chattanoogamocs]

more than 8,000 tickets were pre-sold in Chattanooga by December 1st.

[Lizzie_ASUband]

i'll be there with the band. : ) thank goodness for the ncaa paying for hotel rooms & food.

[mountain man]

more than 8,000 tickets were pre-sold in Chattanooga by December 1st.

App fans were also part of that pre-sale. Our 10 tickets were part of that 8,000.

[BigApp]

you guys need to stop making excuses for UMass fans not being at the game. Final Fours and lacrosse championship attendances are decided on a 4-5 day turnaround too.

Stop the excuses. Get your asses to Chattanooga.

[Griz0383]

Good luck to both teams! May your fans have fun and don't let the drunk punks ruin everyones experience! I have and damm I wish the griz were going!

[YOsef]

I'll be there with 16

[AppStateMan]

i'll be there with the band. : ) thank goodness for the ncaa paying for hotel rooms & food.

Is this the Liz in the mellophone section?

[appfan2008]

UMASS dont even bother bringing more people it wont even matter if you do and if bring more than that would just mean more would go home sad

[Mountaineer]

This isn't the smack board numbnuts. :nono: :nono:

While a large ASU crowd will be great, fans don't play the game.

[appfan2008]

Screw you Mountaineer, I will say what I want...

Thank You

[Mountaineer]

Hey, it's cool - just about every post you've made has you coming across as a moron. Way to represent the university. :rolleyes:

I agree, you need to calm yourself and think before you speak or type in this case.

[Lizzie_ASUband]

yup

[MYTAPPY]

I haaded over to the KBS ticket line when the APPS made it 49-17. I was about 40 to 50 people back. I have 4 tickets and hotel room secured. See all of you that are arriving on Thursday night.

UMass is closer to Bradley International Airport, located between Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT in Windsor Locks, CT.

Not excuses...Reasons.

The Lacrosse championship was in Philadelphia, as already stated. That's about 4 to 5 hours from UMass. Chattanooga is at least 4 times that distance. If it was in Philly, see how many UMass fans would be there.

BS Alert!!! (and I ain't talking about bowlball) : smh :

quite a few actually. for one example, this game is a part of Chattanooga's season ticket package.

Like you, not all UMass alumni/fans live in Massachusetts. South Carolina is one state removed from Tennessee. Are you going?

I think there are more fans taht want to go and don't have tickets than ticket holders, myself and the nine people who want to go with me included. I saw a set of two on ebay for 128.50 and 14 bids. We should have a good turnout.

Of Course.
