Not quite that bad. I just bought tickets in section 111 which is the corner nearest the RU bench. $35 each + ticket master fees so it came out to $48.80 a ticket
Michigan state will be at the garden now official big ten announcement today
- Thread starter wheezer
- Start date
I don't love it but when RU played Michigan there in 2020, Michigan was the home team so they lost a home game.
40% service fee is ridiculous...
Penn State is hosting Purdue at the Palestra in Philadelphia on Jan. 7.
Classes begin on Jan. 9, so the game moved when the students were gone. Also, the previous Palestra games (vs. Michigan State and Iowa) were enormously successful.
MSG is a fantastic place to see basketball and playing a home game there ties you to the idea of being the NYC outpost of the Big 10.
I just put my order over the phone with the ticket office
They basically hold the request till a certain date and fill the order based on priority
This way assured sitting with the good guys
Last time I just bought tickets through MSG and sat surrounded by the enemy
I kinda got used to that with football
We do so well that I wonder if we embarrass the St John's community at this point
It certainly is but you know going in with Ticketmaster you're going to get robbed.
The kids would give up 2 games a year to be able to play a game at the garden. It’s the Mecca as they say and it will be fun for the fans as well.
Others do give up a home game to play at MSG for B1G Super Saturday:
2016 Penn State (home) vs Michigan
2017 Rutgers (home) vs Wisconsin
2018 Minnesota (home) vs Ohio State
2019 Maryland (home) vs Illinois
2020 Michigan (home) vs Rutgers
2021 cancelled
2022 cancelled
2023 Rutgers (home) vs Mich State
I'd rather be Rutgers alternating home and road games in NYC than Minnesota giving up home games to play in NYC.
The next time we play at MSG on Super Saturday, we should be the road team. Let's say we play Iowa, or Purdue, or Illinois, who would be the home team in NYC playing Rutgers. Which side of that equation would you rather be on?
(But to Tango's point, it doesn't seem fair for other teams to play occasionally at MSG, while Rutgers plays every year, or even half the years. I get that Rutgers is desirable to sell tickets, but if we are playing more than 25% of the time on Super Saturday, that seems to be an unfair burden on our season ticket holders.)
Playing at MSG is amazing. Just don't make us play at Barclays.
FWIW, Illinois played a home game at the United Center in Chicago for almost every season from the mid-1990s to just before COVID, and they’re expected to start it up again next season. It’s good for the program. Northwestern could not do the same because they don’t have many fans, lol.
However, I kind of agree with it for Big Ten games, specifically … we would host like Arizona or UCLA or Gonzaga there, but we wouldn’t move a B1G home game.
Michigan State played Penn State at the Palestra a couple of years ago which is to help branding in the Philly market for PSU and RU in the NYC market. I don't see why this is being viewed as a negative, it also qualifies as a neutral site game, which helps your resume and schedule for the NCAA committee.
Two questions:
Does Rutgers stand a better chance of beating Michigan State at the RAC or MSG?
Would Izzo rather play Rutgers at the RAC or MSG?
I wouldn't mind the fee per order but they rape you on every ticket.
I would like to order through Rutgers but they only offer a 4 ticket max in your request. I couldn't get a hold of anyone today as my ticket rep recently switched and the other one wasn't responsive.
I can order them through Ticketmaster but rather go through RU to fill the allotment--thing is I need 20+ tickets
This is what happens when you go to MSG as people come out of the woodwork to go to a game--an event--that happens once per year

Ok well the obvious rebuttal to your question is, in 2020, do you think Juwan Howard would have preferred to play us at MSG or at the Crisler Center? Where did Michigan have the biggest chance of beating us, New York or Ann Arbor?
It nets out.
MSG is a fun trip once a year for the fan base and players.
Relish the opportunity to play at MSG!
Does everyone remember how magnificent the atmosphere was at MSG vs Michigan in 2020

Has anyone considered that because the RAC is sold out , that playing ONE game in MSG is an opportunity for a couple of thousand fans who don’t want to pay $100 to sit high up in the RAC for a good big ten game to see Rutgers play ? It’s called building and expanding the a fan base …that will keep the RAC sold out
We should be pushing the hell out of this to get 10000 Rutgers fans in the building and a overall crowd of 13000-14000

If you ever went to a RU game at the garden you would see the upside
It is probably the best advertisement there is for our program
Our crowds there are beyond impressive
As far as winning, pack the place and make it a home game
Playing at the Garden every once in awhile is a great opportunity and exposure. We always want to be “NYCs” team - well we should be easily taking that building over when we play there.
I travel up from South Jersey and enjoy it. Just don’t play at Barclays, ever.

To be a team that NYC loves, especially when it comes to filling MSG and providing memories, we have many teams to climb over … St. John’s, Syracuse, Notre Dinero, Villanova, Duke, UConn. As annoying as their fans can be, those teams draw well at the Garden when their teams are half decent, and they have plenty of history to point to.
Yesterday around noon. If you login to your account you should see the ticket application.
If you really want to see Tango's head explode just tell him that this game is also going to be a blackout game. He'll lose his shit that we're not wearing red on top of game at MSG.
