Empty Seats tomorrow - Page 2

Not good for getting recruits and building the program to elite status, but a lot of fans have been priced out of going. We are a small state and not many rich folk here.

Without their sacrifices, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedom of watching our Gamecocks play.

I hope that is the case.

We who are going just need to stand up and yell ,smack the bench ,scream when we on D just like the dawg game. Players will not notice if we make it loud enough...Section 4 holding it down.

There's plenty of "rich folk" here lol

Been to all home games and will be at the last two. But my son has told me he will not be able to afford his 2 (next season) he has gotten from me the last few years. His wife lost her job and he is supporting a family of five. I can't blame him, his kids have to come first. He will try to buy tickets for one or two games and I have plenty of family to buy the others. But every game was just going to be to much on him financially.

With today's economy some people have to make sacrifices and going to all the home games will be what some will have to give up. Especially those that don't have good old dad paying the club dues, parking spaces, etc.

YOu don't have to be rich to attend a USC football game. You just need to budget more of your entertainment expense towards football

Steady · 11-09-2012, 02:44 PM

So released to the general public? might be a stupid question but I planned on going to the game tomorrow and just simply getting a ticket from a scalper close to the stadium but if theres cheaper tickets elsewhere?

I think most fans would love to show their support, but when most now have a big HD tv in their house with maybe surround sound and maybe DVR, it becomes alot easier to just save the money you would spend on a couple tickets and the drive to the stadium to just make lunch, kick back and watch the game from home.

Metalrush24 · 11-09-2012, 02:52 PM

There's a fairly large tv at the stadium where you can get the same experience without the commentators

Cruzer · 11-09-2012, 02:59 PM

It happens everywhere. Nothing anyone can do about it.

Acockolypse Now · 11-09-2012, 03:02 PM

Well, I'll be there, yelling loud enough to annoy the people around me, as usual.

We only get so many home games. I like to spend this limited time enjoying gamecock football, not worrying about ticket sales.

Legalman72 · 11-09-2012, 03:48 PM

What a crock! Get to the game, people! As I sit there on my couch tomorrow, I will be beyond embarrassed if I see gaps of empty seats. Facepalm...

And that's just one ticket. It cost me darn near $200 just for the UGa game alone for me and Little Man. That's a big chunck out of my discretionary spending that is budgeted for multiple months.

ReadR00ster · 11-09-2012, 04:35 PM

There wouldn't be empty seats if we could have won one more game.
