Disappointed there are so many Indiana fans in the crowd.

J
Just for context, NU had to provide Indiana with 3000 tickets ( mainly north stands). So I would
estimate that NU ticket holders and ticket reseller companies sold 2000 to 3000 seats to Indiana fans. I drove 700 miles to see the game, and I never sell my unused STs, but I don’t begrudge anyone who does, especially with the current ticket prices.

Here is my story. I purchased 2 season tickets in 1998 when my daughter followed me to NU. When my son moved to Winnetka, I purchased 2 additional seats directly in front of my 2 existing seats. Although I maintained my 2 original seats for 25 years, NU changed my base year to the year I purchased the 2 additional seats. I questioned NU but they would not address the issue.

Really good X thread on the fan base/temp stadium ticket situation

P
Cheapest get-in price yesterday on SeatGeek was about $160, drifted down to $130 by game time. No casual fan is going to pay that, but a hyped-up IU fan making a special trip would. I understand that it's basic supply and demand for a 12,000 person stadium, but it's very frustrating.

We have to rectify this going forward. And quickly once the regular season concludes. We are losing casual/local fans who have/will pick up Northwestern as their “second team.”

Part of our fan base, because of our lack of success over the totality of the program and the size of the school/focus (academics) of the school, is going to be “fly by” casual fans and they are not going to pony up $85 each for the worst tickets in the house! We need to have a $45-50 each “basic” ST package that those folks will buy. The people on this board will be there no matter what but that’s not enough to sustain a major CFB fan base.

You are being too harsh on our defense. They didn't play great but they played better than some on here are giving them credit for. Indiana has a very good offense and that QB was flawless in his execution of the game plan. Got rid of the ball super quick making it hard for the rush to get home, made excellent reads in the RPO and was very accurate in his passing and even when he was off a bit his WRs made excellent catches. They make you defend the whole width and length of the field. If they stay health and keep playing like that, they will be tough to beat.

I think ind is off next weekend. But play neb Oct 19th. I think they'll run the table except osu game. Ind might end season 11-1. 3rd best team in BIG. Only psu and osu are better. Oregon not so sure about esp with Gabriel hobbled. Ind coach will be btcoy for sure

Missed tackles, poor run defense, and lack of effective pass rush really made the difference today. That said, we had a good opportunity til giving up that 3rd and 8.

But Lausch was so much better and that is super encouraging.
