UM at MSG crowd
- Thread starter UMRU
- Start date
Basketball starts at 4:30 p.m.
Depends on the next couple of games
If we are both nationally ranked, tickets could move in a hard late surge
Your colleague, who very well may be a good guy, sounds just like the UoM fans I encountered in Ann Arbor a few years ago and the reason I’ll never go back to the place.
I still didn’t get them. Hopefully tomorrow. I never trust the ticket office...lol
Duh. Anybody with a brain that understands English understands what I said, even if it wasn't perfect.
I think you're the Seton Hall fan who also claims to be an RU fan. For you I'll change what I said to:
No better place to see a Rutgers game than in the garden, not including running on the court at the RAC like I did the last 2 times we played and beat Seton Hall!
Better?
OK Fredo.
You just disagreed with him.
I'd agree with you, The RAC is the best place to see a Rutgers game.
Not the Knicks arena.
I'm sure the teeth guy can speak for himself.
Actually, the colleague sounds like a smug douchebag.
It looks like maybe he and the dentist are one and the same.
I have to agree with you here. UM at the NIT is not interesting to their fans so you can't compare using #s theory. If they don't get to the NCAA its depressing, to us making the NIT finals that year was great only because we never get to the NCAA UM has a large presence in NYC so its one of the few times they can see their school play without having to travel. I expect at best equal fans from both schools
I just got 3 in section 102 for $35 each. Came to about $47 after fees. (Damn ticketmaster!)
So with about an hour and a half to kill between the two events, will they let us out and allow re-entry? I'm pretty sure I know the answer is no, but I can hope. If not, what the hell are we supposed to do with that time? Buy $15 Miller Lites at the Garden? Ugh.

No re-entry. Watch the crew change over the arena from wrestling to hoops. Down a few expensive beers. Watch all of the hoops warm ups. Bother Michigan fans near you. Watch RU win.
I will be with two degenerates. This won't end well.
From what I’ve gathered there is a fairly decent LACK of interest in this by Michigan alumni...or at least from 2 buddies, HUGE hoops and football fans (go out for every football game and weekend hoops games here in town)...based on the following:
“Ok thanks for the heads up. I think I cant make it anyway. Would have been nice to see another beat down.”
..the other guy just laughed at that comment. They pretty much have felt, all along, that neither matchup would be worth their time or money (and they earn more than enough...).

I am going along with 6-7 others. None of us have RU basketball season tickets and about 2 of us regularly attend home games at the RAC. I think Rutgers fans will show up better than expected.
Ordered 2 for me and the wife, Section 118, then dinner with friends. Excited for RU hoops in the city!
Correct. Way too many people underestimating the RU turnout for this. I still think it'll be 2:1 RU, but absolutely more RU than UM.
The train rides for Iowa State and UM were awesome. It's fun being relevant, lol.
I think 11000...2:1 Rutgers fans
Next year we MUST sell out Madison square garden for Michigan state

Three of us in 118 as well. This sure beats going to see them play Fordham at the Garden a few years ago.
It's too bad that so many Rutgers fans won't show up because too many have an irrational fear of traveling into the city, even though a 12 year old could easily do it.
Just remember where you were when your team needed you. At home, sitting on your asses.

It's not a RU home event to actively promote....and the pricing on the seats have been absurd and are now being reduced. There will be plenty of RU fans in MSG, it doesn't require promotion, it is a Michigan event at MSG, parlayed with RU.
Just because it’s not a home RU game doesn’t mean the AD can’t find ways to actively promote it.
Think it is a smart move by the B10 to use a neutral site
They should require each team to give up 1 home game every other year for a neutral suite with Wrestling or just a hoops double header
- MSG
- Philly
- DC
- Chicago
- Indianapolis
- Cleveland
- Detroit
- Minneapolis
- etc...

The UM fans were treated us great when we were there a couple of years ago both the night before and game day. I think that we may have been I voted to every UM tailgate when we were walking to the RU party from the golf course.
We did here some comments about how there are usually fights all over when one team that wears red comes to town. They do not like Ohio State for some reason.
Does anyone know how long wrestling matches usually last?
Probably looking to catch the tail end of it.
Copied from an earlier post from @PiscatawayMike
Wrestling starts at 1 p.m. and will end at about 3 p.m.
Basketball starts at 4:30 p.m.
...and Iowa had to approve the move. Fran McCaffery agreed to the site change because he played for Penn.
