Would they possibly hold those seats in the odd chance that some celebrity or CEO might show up at the last minute? Considering all the money Mr Ryan has donated to support NU athletics. I would think you would want to the ready in case he suddenly was in the mood for a game. Where I generally don't like that kind of preferential treatment, in this case I just say thank you very much Mr Ryan.
If you lived on the North Side, you should've been a Northwestern fan in the first place.
Just checking back on this original comment... I think it was 70/30 at the game, maybe even 72-73% NU fans. There were still a fair number of Hoosiers, but wayyyy less than in years past. And as is the benefit of the layout of WR arena, most of them were further away from the court. Also, the game didn't give them too much to cheer about really. Great job by the students as has already been said, but also glad for all the STHs who held onto their seats and came to cheer on the Cats rather than selling.
Sounded like 99% purple on TV but will buy your 73%. Just wondering why it looked like the Indy folks got more then the usual seats behind their bench and how the hell did those two people dressed in red get those seats behind the NU bench. How did the purple seat folks show?
