Best Atmosphere I have ever seen at the Schott.

First point: You suggested that they move the students to court-side and have a full length side of the court. Well, since many of you don't seem to know, THIS HAS BEEN ARRANGED for this season. "Now why haven't I seen this yet?" some people may ask. This leads me to my second point.

Second point: THE STUDENTS ARE ON BREAK from Dec. 9th until Jan. 3rd. Most went home at least a week ago so that's why you don't see them at these blowout games. The majority of schools are on semester which is why you see students at other games in force. They just started break this weekend.

Third point: The students have the option of buying these non conference games for like $10 but there is no set section and most go home anyways. The students have tickets to all of the Big Ten home games plus the home opener. This came in a package equaling to about $12 a game per student.

The home opener against NC A&T was not on TV(only ESPN3), which is probably why most of you haven't seen the new student section. I was there and the atmosphere from the section was better than I expected for it being such a shitty match-up and it stayed pretty good until sometime into the second half when we were up by like 50.

Here are a few pics of the new setup:







Hopefully this clears a few things up and I won't have to read anymore posts complaining about something that has been fixed.

If they do not show up in large numbers and if the atmosphere does not vastly improve THIS SEASON those seats will be taken right out from under their asses quicker than they know what hit them.

When the Big Ten rolls around when students are back in session, I have no question they will be full and the students will be into it.
