Will September 9th be a sellout?

[luv2hit63]

First, congrats to Dion and the team. Total team effort today. Defense, special teams, offense, all contributed. It was nice not having all the false start penalties as well.

I believe (barring a weather event or a opening season loss to GT in Atlanta) the stadium will be sold out September 9th.

CJB first game. Coming off a impressive bowl victory. For myself, this is the first time I’ve been excited about Louisville Football since #8 was under center.

Glad Satterfield is gone. Extremely excited about CJB coming home.

 

[SpotHogCard]

I think so. Seems like a lot of positive buzz around town.

Louisville should take great crowds to Catlanta and Indy. Realistically, we only have 3 true road games next season.

At NC State
At Pitt (NFL stadium)
At Miami (NFL stadium)

Have the dates of all the ACC games been announced? Please forgive my laziness for not looking myself

 

[yum center]

If our defense plays next year the way it did this year combined with Brohm's offense, this team could be scary good next year.

 

[Steelers2012]

I know I’ll be there.

No. The games that have been announced are Georgia Tech (9/2), Murray State (9/9), Indiana (9/16) and Kentucky (11/25). Last year the full schedule was announced at the end of January.

ATL is absolutely a home game for GiT

Its a home game however theyre playing at Benz stadium instead of on campus.

I live in the Cincinnati area. I think I’m going to deliver a fruit cake to the UC AD office this week in thanks for taking Satterfield off our hands.

 

[CardFanBudMan]

Too many seats to sell out at home.

Sellout vs. Murray State ? Are you serious ?

Catlanta?WTF??!!!

 

[TPACardsFan]

Wife and I will be driving up for the GT game and spending the night. Trying to decide if I can convince her to do the Miami game too.

 

[Rollem Cards]

I’m planning on going to ATL and NCST.

 

[CommodoreCard]

Catlanta?WTF??!!!

I always say that as tribute to the Morons down the road.

Funny how it’s only “Catlanta” from December to March. 🤣🤣

My tribute to those same Morons is a simple hand gesture.

I realize that we were coming off a terrible season but if we were going to sell out you would have thought it would have happened in SS's first game. New Coach, First game in the newly expanded Stadium, playing ND, and Covid outbreak had not occurred.

So my guess is we will not sell out in JBs first game.

 

[BPGhost]

Close the flight deck and watch the lower bowl be packed.

 

[luv2hit63]

Yes B.P. Last year going 2-8 did not help. The new stadium, playing ND definitely was a bonus. However the hire on CSS for me was a letdown. Especially after the talk of JB potentially being hired.

My point is bringing in JB, and Hopefully defeating a Georgia Tech to start the season would create enough optimism for a full house. And if recruiting ramps up that could help.

I hope your right. But you missed one point I also included that I think has impacted attendance and that's Covid. A lot of casual fans, which we need to fill the stadium, got used to not going to the games and watching on TV.

 

[Thecycle27]

There is still a lot to be determined.

Have to see how free agency goes over the next 2 months. They land a legit QB transfer the excitement will be off the charts.

Have to win the 1st game.

Those things happen then it will be close. Ticket sales have been good so far.

 

[CardMonarch]

I know quite a few people that have bought season tickets for the first time. Home opener is going to be electric.

I had not thought about the impact of Covid as for attending the games in person. In addition I don’t think Murray State will take their allotment of tickets unlike say ND.

The number of away tickets sold is a factor that is often overlooked. Clemson is the only ACC school that consistently travels in large numbers. UofL and FSU travel decent when things are going ok. Otherwise the other programs are garbage at away games. Most SEC schools travel very well as do Big 10. Having an extra 5k away fans helps a lot in a 60k stadium.

 

[OldhamCard335]

Please CJB, just don’t pull a Satterfield in the opening game like we had at Syracuse this year!

Beat Murray State !!

 

[Mayoman]

YES!!!

 

[Rollem Cards]

When is St James…and what’s the extended forecast?

I’ll take the under.

First weekend in October.

I was being sarcastic, but I’ll still take the under.

Been to too many of these rodeos to bet on sellouts.

Sadly.

That would take Capacity down to about 46K., which is more than we are currently averaging. I think if Brohm can get things rolling we can average 52 to 55.

 

[CommodoreCard]

They should put tarps over the upper 2/3s of the flight deck. Like Jacksonville does.

CARD- LANTA as in the home of Louisville's third Title.

We also never say " wildcayut formation"
Its Wildcard.
Eff them big blew clowns.

That would be embarrassing !

 

[Jimbo11]

I think Brohm wins early and often. It may take a few games but fans will
eventually fill the stadium.

If you want to show appreciation, send a $25 gift card for Skyline Chili instead of a fruitcake. LOL.
