What are they getting for a game ticket?

I spent 30 bucks to purchase in advance for a single game online last year. I think the cost is due to 3rd party group they use to handle the tickets and purchases online.

Now.. Your cost is going to go down if you don't want to a mobile ticket, if you are willing to pick up at will-call (and wait in the line), or if you want to simply buy at the gate that day. But you lose convience and the ability to pick your exact seat.

IUP announced a fantastic discount (sarcasm) for a football tailgating season ticket.

For just $225 you can get a regular season pass. Six home games ... that's a cool $37.50/game to park beside Miller Stadium.

They've completely lost their minds. This is freaking D2 in a small town ... for a team with a following that gets older by the day.

That's basically the "we don't want students and we don't want most locals" pricing.

Or, of course, you can park a block away -- for free -- and just carry a cooler to that area (if you wish to tailgate).

Now, keep in mind it is a significant discount compared to years past (it's usually $65/spot for tailgating). That price needs no further comment. LOL.

And, by the way, they have (by far) the most expensive game tickets in the PSAC.

Laugh, but I do believe there's some truth to this.

I can recall that IUP put an effort in place to actually give students who parked in that area a difficult time when I was a student. I remember my senior year (when my friends and I were all 21), we parked there a few times for games to tailgate. We were watched and circled by IUP campus police the entire time. Nothing like making students/young fans uncomfortable in that environment. It was the oddest thing. It was abundantly clear that they were watching for us to do something wrong or waiting for something to look suspicious to interject themselves into our social gathering.

It wasn't like we were sitting there blasting music or playing drinking games either. We had a few lawn chairs, a small grill to cook some dogs/burgers, and a small cooler with some beer.

To many cheap bastards in Indiana.

I'm not sure they're cheaper in Indiana than they are in most PSAC towns.

For sure, but that’s a solid role player. It’s getting a bit ridiculous lol. At the end of last season I thought IUP was returning the most talented/experienced roster in SR1. You’ve done nothing but add a bunch of talent since and I would expect a couple more over the next 4 weeks. Looking forward to seeing what they can do with it.

It would seem that the outstanding issues are OL/DL and RB. And, of course, as Tort says, anybody else who will make them better.

This looks like a 'buddy' signing for Karst. Not much of a resume. I'd imagine he will be a special teams player and depth WR. Their top 6 WRs are loaded. I don't see this guy breaking the top 6.

Looks like your new QB brought a buddy with him. The WR room is stacked

It’s 18 bucks a game for reserved tickets at Grand Valley. Club seats are 35 a game.

That's different money (from us, too).
