Anyone know which is the away section for Rutgers at the Rock? Was looking at SK.com and they are listed at $34 but no section.

Section 7 is pretty good...lower level actually. Did you buy them thru SK.com? Section 7 is $78 on stubhub.I got in section 7, was told that was visitor section
Yeah more expensive. I got them from ticketmasterSection 7 is pretty good...lower level actually. Did you buy them thru SK.com? Section 7 is $78 on stubhub.
Most sections at Prudential Center will have a significant amount of Rutgers fans. No need to sit in a visitors section when its an off-campus arena in the state for which we are THE State University.
More than 1000 RU fans there is a pipe dream at this point and I'm probably being generous with that number. Hopefully in a few years we can have a strong presence there but it's just not reality now.
I have to agree, though I could see 500-750 RU fans there since the fanbase feels good about the program right now.
In the Mike Rice years there was a decent RU contingent in The Rock.
Maybe they will have to open the upper deck again someday to accommodate the fans. $$$$The best I recall was in the Orr/Waters era at CAA. Very large (like4-5k) of red in the upper deck. Was a great atmosphere for a college game. Very loud. Both teams very relevant that year.
1000 isn't unreasonable for RU fans to be there....it's not like it's Philly or Hartford CT
This was the best atmosphere for a Rutgers @ SHU game ever. Well over 5,000 RU fans in attendance. Heartbreaker for our beloved Scarlet Knights.The best I recall was in the Orr/Waters era at CAA.

That was the high point. Prior to that, and ever since, there has been a very, very poor showing of RU fans at the SHU games. Earlier in this thread, someone posited that Rutgers is THE state university (true), ergo there will be significant fans in every section (questionable). Either he/she is delusional, or has a different idea of significant than I do.
The past two installments of this series have been non-competitive. Last year was the most boring SHU-RU game I can recall. Terrible game.
With Rutgers' gaudy record, and a lesser chance of getting humiliated, I'm sure the turnout will be better than the last 2-3 games at Prudential.
Have you seen the attendance at games at the RAC? No chance 1,000 Rutgers fans are going to go to Newark for a 6:30 game on December 23?1000 isn't unreasonable for RU fans to be there....it's not like it's Philly or Hartford CT
Why's that? What's it seat 8000? I'm sure we can get at least 1000 if not more thereMore than 1000 RU fans there is a pipe dream at this point and I'm probably being generous with that number. Hopefully in a few years we can have a strong presence there but it's just not reality now.
against a rival, closer to wear more RU alums live. Very easy to take the train after work in Newark/NYC to pru center then it is to get down to RU for a game. If the RAC was located where the pru center is we'd have much greater attendance every game.Have you seen the attendance at games at the RAC?

I'm just thinking from my perspective. I live in Hoboken with a bunch of young alums and I know of about 20 personal friends I graduated with in 2013 alone who are going to the game due to it being a short train ride from their work in NYC/newarkI have a a lot of respect for your football knowledge but it's pretty obvious you haven't been to many (any?) RU hoops games in recent years if you're questioning my comment.
The first 10 games have been a lot of fun and it's great to be winning but there's still a lot more that has to be done to move the needle as far as attendance.
Maybe offer a bus trip up from the RAC? Get the students interested in going as well as the semester officially ends that morning.We need to get a lot of RUs at this game. It is Friday Dec. 23 but most of the SHU students will probably not be there. If we can get quite a few fans there it just might have a big effect on the result. Many SHU fans are worried that the arena might be very empty.

Either way it gets the fans to Newark. If this is a more cost efficient method of doing it, I'm all ears.Would it be more cost effective to hand out transit passes from NB to students instead of having a bus? Busses are usually around 1000 and hold 55 people for 18$ a person. Round trip to Newark form NewBrunswick is 13$. Wouldn't be a bad idea.
Not a single student will still be on the New Brunswick campus at 5pm on December 23rd because exams end that morning and most will already have gone home since everyone's exam schedule is different. Best chance is to market to North Jersey RU fans and families.
RU can buy a corner section,let's say 5 rows in bulk, and offer exclusive pricing to RU students, alums and donors.
Can the Courtside Club do this too?
As someone who is a slave to the train schedule and goes through that hellhole of Newark Penn Station every day I'm glad we don't play there.

I'm driving to the game. Where should I look for game day parking? Thanks.Newark Penn Station is fine and maybe driving is not an option for you, but it's easy for me and a most others I know who live in NJ.
It's one game there for RU fans, and the fanbase has an opportunity to make a statement.
