Seating at the Schott?!?!?
I know its been quiet at the Schott at Buckeye games....is it because of the seating thats been done the past couple of years (like student seating) ...I thought Gene Smith was supposed to change all that and try to make seating better so that games can be louder??

it's quiet because nobody cheers. even tonight, when there were probably 7,000 people, the place got pretty loud a few times (especially when the refs made horrible calls).
I do not believe Gene Smith ever promised anything... we hoped that he would move a student section down there. It may happen, but I don't think he's taken an official stance on the issue. hopefully I'm wrong.
This trend will change after this successful 05 season (and probable NCAA tourney berth), and especially with the hype of the incoming thad5.

Well right now there are just not a whole lot of people at the games, the student are home on break and the competition well it isnt top notch.
I believe that the talks are in the works to put the students on the floor which will be a very good think when it happens. To many people sitting on their hands. Once we get the students into the game the other folks will follow. |

attendance was pretty good during the penn era, and for a few years following. I think it will return to that level, and likely surpass it with what matta brings to the program.

Hopefully we can get more students to the games come Big Ten play. That will help get that place fired up. It's tough to get a place rocking when you're playing Belmont.

Well we sold out for the Illinois game last year. I think tickets are going to be very hard to come by next year.
Thank goodness for being a student.  |
