Then the school needs to help and not schedule 8pm week day games. Impossible to travel from Dallas or Houston

Vote for high speed rail

As long as one of the non ESPN+ time slots is 8pm you're going to get some 8pm week day games. Period.

How many of the Foster Pavilion games this season were not sell outs?

Technically 0

Stupid thread, ban OP. Not an issue.

I didn't say sellouts. I said filled arena. I saw empty seats at games last year.

There's a place on Foster Pavilion's entrance plaza for a statue, right??

high speed rail will never work. Even if it is built between Dallas and Waco the station in Waco would likely be in McGregor and then there is the issue of getting to the stadium.

And that would only help those in the Dallas area as anyone west (Arlington, Fort Worth, etc.) would drive just as long to get to the Dallas station as getting to Waco.

Because it wouldn't go Dallas, Ft. Worth, Waco and if it did the travel time would end up being about the same as driving.

If High speed rail ever comes to TX it would only be between Dallas-Houston, Houston-SA and SA-Dallas and very few if any stops in between.

If people owning the seats can't sell them for what their asking, that's not the fans or athletic department's problem.

What are you talking about? 8pm is the perfect game time for Dallas fans. You don't destroy a work day to get down there, I've done it many a time.

So they bought them to flip them? They could offer them to anyone who can take them. This message is for them as well. I find it interesting that when Duke is playing a smaller school, I see no empty seats. Are people flipping seats there too?

Hello Motel 6.. they'll even leave the light on.

Based on your posts throughout the season, this must be a sad day for you. How you holding up?

Has anyone done a welfare check on BUGWB?

Yep. Right where Clifton Robinson Tower currently stands.

Yeah, and the idea the schedule would line up with a Baylor basketball game is also pretty unlikely even if the train did go straight to downtown.

Anyway, it would be nice to have another way to get around Texas.

1. School doesn't determine tip times
2. No it's not. Plenty of us do it every time we play in that time slot

Comparing BU to Duke, KS, NCarolina and others is not fair. A Baylor fan is Unique, all boxes have to be checked… Convenience & interest are high water factors. Those schools face similar issues, but bury BU with turnout. It's an issue that has been here for decades if not it's entire athletic history.

There has NEVER been a Baylor coach offered a Blue Blood job before much less turn it down. Hope he receives the support.

I will add that weekday evening/night games (whether a 6Pm or 8PM tip off) are hard for alumni with younger kids to attend. Whether in town or out of town.

Weekday sitters are harder to find and as any parent knows it can mess up a whole week when you drastically change bedtime for even one day. So even for alum that live in town with young children an 8PM game is hard to make it to since that could be around their child's bedtime.

Dallas to Waco on an evening weekday is fine. Not sure on Houston to Waco.

it's further for sure but I know of at least a few folks who do that drive for mid week games. Just saying it can be done and does get done but being in dfw is for sure much easier.

Add free child care to Foster Pavilion. Send the bill to Kentucky.

Problem solved.

The school doesn't set the schedule. That's done by ESPN.
