Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

Where are your seats at for the Jacks game? $14 bucks is cheap!

I wanted to be as close to the rest of the people wearing yellow and blue as I could, so section 108 was my choice. Could have moved closer to mid-field for about $10 to $15 more. I wanted the tickets in hand before I left next week. I had considered going without tickets and seeing what the scalpers would give them up for, but thought otherwise. I've done that a couple of times and haven't been burned, but you never know...

Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

Got both my jacks tickets and bears tickets in the mail yesterday. Paid $14 for the jacks tickets. Sorry guys with extras, I had to save some cash after the bending over I took on the bears tickets. Hoping for at least 1-1 for the weekend. I do know we will have a blast regardless. Chicago is a great, great city. Especially in the summer.

We are in 18 and will certainly be the most rowdy and loudest row regardless of the score. Yes, that is a challenge.

Its on like donkey kong......I just wish I could go to the game.

You'll be right in front of me JD. I'm in row 20. I apologize in advance for getting rowdy when we take the early lead.

One ticket taken...still have one left for the Illinois game. Section 109, row 19--THE SDSU CHEERING SECTION!

Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

I live in the Davenport, IA area about 2-3 hrs from UI on I-80. Is anyone coming through the area Saturday morning and heading back Saturday night? I'd love to go cheer on the Jacks, but I'm not sure I want to spend the round trip gas.

Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

I purchased six tickets for the Illinois game and had a couple of cancellations. So, two tickets for sale in the SDSU section: Section 109, Row 19. Only drawback: you'll have to sit near me and I may yell a lot.

Anyone looking for two tickets in the SDSU section? PM me.

Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

It will certainly be a lot different experience than Nebraska, probably won't even match Iowa State. As I posted before, the Illini have 5 home games in a row to start the season so the excitement for a FCS team may not be great. We aren't the season opener and ASU comes in the week after us. I'm guessing 25-30K for butts in the seats. Should be a better atmosphere than Minnesota was.

Unfortunately, SDSU will probably be the lowest attended out the first five home games, the 11AM start doesn't help either, also sandwiched between the home opener and Arizona State. That said, I would be surprised if there was legitimately fewer than 40,000 in actual attendance, with the announced crowd likely being around 50K. I would say Illinois' gameday experience is pretty similar to Iowa State's. Champaign/Urbana is a nicer college town, IMO.

Have fun rabbits, I'm hoping to make the trip there myself.

Re: SDSU vs. Illinois

I bought 4 tix for $32 on Stubhub. I haven't gotten them yet, which is starting to make me nervous. And I can't plan what the hell I am doing until I get those tix. Frustrating.
