Just got my season tickets and it looks like my ticket for the Stripe the Birthplace game is wrong. Online, it clearly says to wear black in my section (144), but the ticket says to wear red. Anyone else's wrong or is this just a glitch with a couple people?
 
Confirmed on the site - all sections from 131 to 144 are black.

If I had to guess, I'd say the other even sections in the student end zone might be wrong?

probably not. I would guess they want the entire student section in black as this was originally supposed to be the black out game.

When PSU did the stripe out at their game last year the student section was in white except for a small section of students in dark blue, strategically placed, so that they outlined a white S right smack in the middle of the student section. That S and the dark shirts surrounding it did not leave the entire game. It was pretty impressive.

the rest of our stadium is : Even sections Scarlet Odd sections Black

I just got off the phone with Geoff Brown about this. The tickets for 144 are correct: Scarlet. The website was incorrect in saying Black & it has been corrected to say Scarlet. Since that section is near the students but not actually the students someone messed up a bit but its all correct now.
 
Here is the official Seating Chart:

@ScarletDave hit refresh. It is fixed.

@rubigtimenow thanks. I am doing my best to help make this all work.

And all season ticket holders in section 144 are getting an email to let them know its Scarlet
All season ticket holders will be getting emails as we get closer to the GE reminding us about the stripeout & what color to wear.

What are the thousands of Michigan fans in the north end zone supposed to wear? Maize or Blue?

(Unfortunately, unlike 2 years ago when their #'s paled compared to those PSU, OSU, and Nebraska have brought (Wiscy gets a pass due to weather...), I fully expect a TON of Michigan fans at HPSS this year)

Can we get Guinness there and tell them we're going for the world's largest human checker board.

The hell of it is that anyone fan enough to be here is going to have it right on gameday -- even if they have to bring an extra shirt/jacket to the game -- but if there's confusion amongst the die-hards on the boards, it's going to be a sh*tshow for the casual fan.
 
Good stuff Mrs. Screw--glad to see it's fixed.

Must say though, I almost wish they kept it as black for the full expansion side endzone.. Big games like this, the student section generally flows into the first handful of rows in 144--I'd hate to see half the section in black and half in red that night.
 
This is a little confusing. So in the south end zone, only one of the fourteen sections is Scarlet? Why not 142, 132, etc? They're not student sections.

Scroll down to the middle of the page and tell me the stadium map doesn't look really weird.
Definitely looks stupid. If they were going to do that with the student section then the north end zone should have been all red. Stripe the sidelines. Oh well. We will learn over the years

This is really not going to work, I don't think.

Hope I'm wrong
 
No, your a loser and so is when Rutgers tries something like this.

The only thing that looks decent is when the place is in red.

The blackouts have thousands and thousands in red.

The blackouts have looked fine the past few years.

The first couple of years were bad, but you've got to start somewhere. The blackouts have become an event over the years, the games have been competitive against good competition so people have gotten into it lately. I don't even think you go to the games if that's what you think about the blackouts
 
OK people. Last year I went to the psu game which was the stripe out game. being the robots they are it worked perfectly. their student section was only white save for a group of kids in dark tee shirts that helped make a S in the middle of the section.

only the student section was pure white. the rest of the stadium was striped. We are doing the same thing except our student section is going to be black. why is this so difficult to comprehend?

Even sections: Scarlet
Odd sections: Black
Students: Black

Quick Tip:

If you're going to call someone a loser, first do a check for any grammatical mistakes.

So in other words, it's easier to "correct" the website than it is to reprint tickets :grimace:

no, according to Geoff, who I spoke to personally, the section was always supposed to be Scarlet there was an error on the website. 131 is the other section that is part of the end zone but is not a student section was properly labeled as black and the tickets said the same.

why do all of you see the glass as half empty all the time? Rutgers made a mistake. they acknowledged it. they corrected it. they are doing everything in their power to make it and the night a success.

LMAO. If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you. It's likely that the ticket printer made a mistake (or possibly Rutgers). It looks stupid to have 1 end zone section in scarlet.

No it doesn't. Makes sense to me if you make 144 red or black. But 132 and 142 should both definitely be black.
 
Word is circulating through the Michigan grapevine to wear only white or maize to this game as a prominent color in order to avoid the blue blending in with the black.

From what I've collected, there will be a ton of Michigan fans. At least doubling what you saw in '14.

Nope. Gotta give that point to Mrs. Screw. It's pretty obvious why 144 is Scarlet and breaks up the pattern.

I know 7 individuals from Jersey who went to Michigan. They are all going to the game and bringing family. Because of the year they are supposed to have I think this will be the biggest visiting crowd at HPSS in recent memory.

Honestly I think something got messed up when the tickets went to print and that section ended up red. I just have a hard time believing that no one noticed for 4 months that section was black on the seating chart, website, emails, etc. and then suddenly 24 hours after tickets go out, it gets changed.
