Sunday December 13
It would be way better to keep it on a Saturday of course, not going head to head vs the NFL

Carino I believe thought it would be Saturday December 12.
Would they open up arena?
PLEASE no Noon or 1:00 start. Late Saturday afternoon would be perfect and allow folks with children’s activities to get to the game and bring their kids. Also, Rutgers fans from around the state can get their easier with a non-Noon start.

They don't want to open up the upper level because they know which fan base would buy the majority of those extra tickets. Obviously, it would be a bad look to have a lot of RU fans in their arena. It would also be a bad look to have the upper level closed off during a nationally televised game against a top 25 team on a Saturday. Instead, they'll play on a Sunday when the Jets and Giants are on the major channels. The game will be on FS1 in front of a crowd just over 10k. What a shame.Sure, if the lower level sells out a few months in advance.
They opened up the 2nd and 3rd levels around 6 times last season.
Without CV, this game would definitely get 15k+
Now, who knows

Seton Hall doesn’t have much say on dates and times for games. Devils, concerts, events come first.They don't want to open up the upper level because they know which fan base would buy the majority of those extra tickets.

There are no concerts or events scheduled after October yet. And the NHL doesn't release their schedule until June. Given the circumstances, their schedule release for 2020-21 will take place even later than that. But this game seems to already have a date. Huh.Seton Hall doesn’t have much say on dates and times for games. Devils, concerts, events come first.
That's exactly why they open the extra levels up for other opponents. The small private colleges only bring so many fans. The school knows more Hall fans will be in those seats. With a large local school like RU, it's a different story.I don't know about that assumption
The 2nd and 3rd levels were opened vs local rivals SJU and Nova, and neither opponent fan base took the building over. Vs Nova, it was around 85% SHU fans in a crowd close to 17k
SHU will definitely open up the upper levels vs RU, their athletic dept definitely could use the financial bump ( as will every school considering what's going on)
I could really see a Sea of Red in many sections if a vaccine or proven treatment for CV is already in place.

I'm not so sure. I think after what RU did with allowing season ticket holders to buy additional tickets before the general public could, he'll want to pay back the favor by keeping the upper level closed and shutting out additional RU fans this year.I agree that RU brings way more fans than SJU can ever do.
But Nova has a very large following, although mostly a little south of RU.
SHUs new AD, Felt, is very business savy
He will open up the joint if the lower level is mostly sold by early October, IMO
Seton Hall fans on their site have already stated that they don't want the upper tier opened. Many are upset that RU sold tickets to our football fans etc. before the tickets went to the general public. I can understand their being upset but they could make a lot more money. We will see how it turns out. If it is a Sunday game as they think Rothstein is probably correct the game will be up against the NFL. SHU just added Atkins and if they should get Sanogo the game just might be a very special game.

Sunday would be an awful decision. I hope this is just a rumor
Not true at all.Just a heads up to the couple of posters mentioning the possibility of a vaccine in place before this game. There is a zero percent chance of a vaccine ready for the public before the summer of 2021.

Who makes the decision about whether to open the upper deck?
On the bright side, the RU loss won't be widely reported on NJ.comWhen you don't control the arena and have to pay rent to the Prudential Center, you get no choice on when you can schedule games......I'm sure it was a choice of having a NJ Devils home game on a Saturday or Seton Hall on a Saturday.....guess who's going to have preference on dates being prioritized and having the chance to not go up against the NFL on a Sunday....??? Instead we are now playing for bragging rights up against a potential NFL home game around the same time of day??
And rest assured, they're going to try and jack up the prices for the upper deck and the RU fans.

RW90 drops micI know Hall fans are unsanitary by nature, but now we need a vaccine to visit their arena???
Just like last year, right?On the bright side, the RU loss won't be widely reported on NJ.com

i don't want to hijack the thread, but please provide a basis for you absolute declaration.It’s actually 100% true.
