Let’s get the RAC sold out quick for nationally ranked PSU on January 7th

[Scarlet Shack]

PSU currently ranked 23rd in the nation, and look to win the next two out of confrence games and then Iowa at home

Could be 12-2 and ranked 18-20th

If we take care of business ...we will be 11-3

Setting up to be a potential big game

Time to pack the RAC again

Going to be hard with students on break

 

[BillyC80]

If we win our next 3, including Nebraska on the road which will be a big test, I’d put us in the top 40. So my guess is if PSU is top 20 we’d be favored by a point or two at home. Will be a great game.

Meh students only get, what, about 1200 (if that) seats these days? ZERO REASON they can’t fill those seats. Been done in the past.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Wait...WTF? Weren’t they lousy last year?

First half of B1G schedule then they started winning.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

14-18 on the season

 

[MadRU]

14-18 on the season

Think they were 0-10 or 0-11 to start the B1G schedule

 

[Mr Magoo]

Nebraska on the road is no gimmie.

 

[Pancho1939]

If we win the next 3..... is a kiss of death

 

[DHajekRC84]

1 at a time. When are we gonna learn.
I'm all for selling out the RAC vs. that team regardless. But don't count the chickens!

 

[phlop87]

From yahoo ::::;; The Nittany Lions (9-2) hadn’t appeared in the AP poll since being ranked 18th in March 1996. Before that season, Penn State was last ranked in December 1954.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Agree!
But your thread may upset some that post here.

They know who they are

If we win the next 3 this will 100% sell out.

 

[Gavin1026]

I sure hope so. I’m a student and will definitely be there if I’m not in Vermont skiing.

Students on break = more tix on sale to general public. Most importantly, a Tuesday night game. No sell out.

Checked ScarletKnights.com today, plenty of seats available.

11-3 vs. a ranked Penn State team will be a sell out imo. The basketball fan base is starving for a post season.

The AD would need to promote it big time and don’t underestimate the hatred for PSU.

Weeknight game ticket sales lag WAY behind the weekend games. Penn State basketball, ranked or not, does not move the needle. I have been consistently disappointed at how poor our weeknight attendance is. Love to be wrong but just don't see it. We'll see.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Anyone who thinks we play a RANKED PSU, while we’re 11-3, isn’t going to sell out - regardless of day/time - is nuts. We’re not talking about playing a ranked Marquette guys SMDH lol!

Wow, name calling, you’re that confident. Check back in on 1/8 following a crowd of 5800. I say that based on 40 years of RAC experience. Unfortunately there is no chance we come close to a sellout that night.

Pen St game last season was a weeknight and I believe sold out

 

[Joey Bags]

Already have my tickets

need a pre-game light show to guarantee a sell out...:Wink:

btw..I don't have tix yet but I will

 

[IL Lusciato]

It really irks me to see PSU ranked at bball.

 

[S_Janowski]

Correct a 13-15 Rutgers squad vs. a 13-16 Penn State squad on a Wednesday in March sold out last year.

Not sure why people think an 11-3 Rutgers team (coming off a huge win vs. SHU) against a ranked Penn state team wouldn’t sell out.

See my post above.

You may have 40 years of RAC experience but you’re way off here.

I’ve been going just as long...and lol @ “name calling”...:ThumbsUp

I agree and glad I have my season's tix.

 

[Night Man]

PSU fans will want to be there too. I predict sellout

PSU has been a slow build. You can see they have more talent then they ever had. They are getting rewarded with patience. A good lesson we need to learn with Pike.

Rutgers at 6-3 off a two game losing streak managed to get an attendance of 6300 against Wisconsin on a nasty Wednesday night. Selling out or coming close to 8k should be achievable against a ranked PSU.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Next two games are must wins

Caldwell is a gimmie but Lafayette can be pesky since they hit their 3s

If, RU can get a tough road win in Lincoln, I would guarantee at least 7,500 vs Pen St

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Penn State game last year was most importantly the last home game of the season and we had just completed a stretch where we won 6 of 11 conference games including a blowout of Iowa. Look at the ANNOUNCED attendance figures from last year. All of the other announced sell outs were on weekends. The most we got for any other weeknight game was an announced crowd of 5,900 against Indiana and that was coming off two straight conference wins.

There was nowhere near 6,300 at the Wisconsin game last Wednesday despite what the box score says. And the weather was fine Wednesday night.

Dude if we rattle off the next 3 we will be on a 5 game winning streak including 2 BIG10 wins and arguably one of the biggest wins in the past 10 years (SHU) and sitting at 11-3...vs. a ranked Penn State team.

Last game of the season or not last year it was two sub-500 teams going at each other and it sold out.

Can’t wait to win the next 3 and you’ll see.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

No one is going to care about beating Lafayette and Caldwell. Any Big Ten win for us would be big but Nebraska's is like 153 in the NET, has a losing record, and is coming off a year where they fired their coach. Those are our next 3 games. Maybe there's a new buzz around Rutgers athletics and I'll be proven wrong. I hope so. But the actual attendance at weeknight games has been pretty depressing in comparison to weekends so if we sell out, I'll be pumped.

Im somewhat skeptical we can sell out a weeknight game out durung break. Our fans are traditionally lacking before we get to February

I’m taking no chances ...hence the momentum starting post
