That's why we're taking a few thousand seats out for the renovation.

The university is only concerned a bout tickets sold. It will be very difficult to get actual attendance back to the games like it was in the 90s. The attendance now is more realistic of where it should be.

What was the attendance?


If you can legit find a number, the number will be inflated by at least 3k.

Fans!

Saturday night’s crowd was INCREDIBLE and we wanted to thank you for showing up and showing out! Your energy and enthusiasm helped us at so many points – including in overtime – and I don’t know if we win that game without the atmosphere you helped create!

Within that great atmosphere was a SOLD OUT student section. That’s right, over 3,000 students were able to be a part of that incredible night! Unfortunately, we still had a couple hundred students that we weren’t able to get into the game because we just didn’t have the tickets.

That’s where you come in!

We want to keep this momentum going – both on the court and in the stands – and we want to make sure we don’t have to turn away students again this season.

If you’re not going to the game, GIVE ME THE TICKETS! We will make sure these tickets donated back to us are used to get student overflow into the Bud, or give to charitable children’s organizations throughout Northwest Arkansas.

To donate these tickets back to us, just transfer them from your ticket account to: musstix@uark.edu. Just make sure we get the tickets more than 48 hours before the game, and we’ll take it from there!

We know not everyone can make every game. So help us fill your seats and create a true home-court advantage.


Problem is those seats empty today were for sale on Vivid, StubHub, Gametime, etc.

They need to take away tickets from those who try to oversell on third party markets. Baseball is going to have this problem if not already.

We are just now getting over Covid... It was much, much more than the common cold some are getting.

I have never had more weird symptoms and them change every couple of days, in my life.

And this headache doesn't go away, muscle fatigue, and twitching, gastro problems, ear problems, crazy!

The ADept scared everyone this summer into buying season tickets they'll never use. I know a couple from Hot Springs who did this and have season tix to every single game and probably won't go to 5 games all year. They also aren't tech saavy enough to even know to donate them back for games they don't attend or sell them on the online market. But they don't care. The the AD got their money so they all that matters.

There are still extremely strong Jeff Long vibes in this ADept in certain areas. And Bud Walton is one of them. They didn't have a problem fricking over baseball ticket holders for a shittier atmosphere and empty seats behind home plate, and they'll never re-arrange the seating in BWA to enlarge the student section and get them more involved in the game because they don't care about the fans other than their pocketbooks.

I wouldn’t go that far but I think it’ll be outrageous if they don’t expand the student section after this year.

From the start of the Mizzou game till today, we have the 3rd best adjusted defense in the country. Crazy how much that lineup change really flipped the script.

Hopefully it holds up when we face tougher offensive teams.

No that’s accurate. There were a couple loud points in the second half but overall have been to many better.

I agree with others in that the student section should be expanded to be along a baseline. Doesn’t do much good to have them stretch all the way up to the top of the lower level.

Daniel getting hurt is a big blow. Hopefully she can get back by next game.

Beating UT without her is a tall task.

Hoping JD channels a little bit of that mad he didn't get an offer from his home state school like he did against Mercer.
