re: Rupp sure is quiet tonight

It's the ticket distribution. Because of the lottery selection for lower level season tickets you have a bunch of old money fricks hoarding them and sitting on their hands half of the game.

It's the one drawback to staying in Rupp and not building a new arena. Build suites and reconfigure seating and you eliminate some of that problem.

Older fans sit in the bottom level at Rupp and don't do anything(we call them blue hairs, but most of them are very rich so they can afford those seats). I've heard of many cases where fans will be up and cheering for UK during a game and a blue hair will ask them to sit down. They just don't get loud.

The loud fans sit up top in the rafters.
