This is going to be fun for the students and fans to actually have sporting events to be excited about in the spring besides Baseball.

Ladies and gents, Auburn basketball is back.

Hasn't been much to be excited about since I've been at Auburn

I know, but baseball is really the only sporting event that is 'well' attended in the spring. I mean, people did go to basketball games, but the mentality was always, "How much are we going to lose by?" or "I'm just going to watch UK's freshmen who will be NBA stars next year."

I think lately you could just show up with your ignited card, before that, you had to get a wrist band before the day of the game (which was free). If you got the wrist band at the gate, I think it was $5.

If the program grows like I expect it too, I think it may change to something like the football tickets or a situation where students have to camp out.

I may be naïve but I don't believe they'll change anything about ticket format for students. They'll keep it free with an ignited card and just let lines build outside the arena before each game. So that keeps a raucous crowd excited
