MSU tickets selling for the price of a burrito

Supposedly, upper level 50 yard line seats were going for 6 dollars this morning.

I'll still take the burrito.
November 3rd, 2012 at 8:07 AM ^
get guacamole with the burrito?
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
If I didn't have plans, I would be there rooting for green in my maize. We need the help.
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
I will be rooting for Nebraska to lose, not moo u to win. moo u is irrelevent. No one cares about them. Not even the students and alumni. Their stadium can only hold 80K, this is almost half of ours and we will up the Big House every single "cotton pick'n saturday" as the Ufer would say.
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
I'd rather have a burrito than watch an offensive atrocity in the cold. That said, go Sparty.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
Why should we care? Are we that infatuated with MSU that we need to know the ticket prices of their games?
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
I just find it interesting. MSU has a prety big fanbase, and this is their first home game against Nebraska as a big ten member.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
Nebrasksa fans generally travel in large numbers to away games, so imagine where prices would be without that demand. I expect the Husker crowd to be quite noisy in the sparty double-wide stadium
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
an embarrassing scene.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
I am in the military, and live in Omaha. Many of the Husker fans made the trip to LA for the UCLA game, as well as the Northwestern game a few weeks ago. I know they travel well, but from all the rumblings I have heard, I wouldn't expect an overwhelming crowd like we saw at NW in Chicago a few weeks ago.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
I livedin Omaha last year and they do travel very well. Many of my friends' families made the trip to AA last November.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
As an American and a consumer, I welcome information of this nature, that helps me decide how to spend my money. Because, you know, I could watch the MSU-Nebraska game live. Or I could eat a burrito. It's a difficult decision. Because there's football. But its Michigan State football. And then, there's a burrito.
Life throws some tough choices at you sometimes.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Dig in my friend.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
There always has to be that guy.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
as well as the confirmation that they have the worst fanbase in the conference as it pertains to being fair weather. Sparty is a synonym for irrelevancy. Also, there is a large Hispanic population in the state if Michigan, so the market rate for a good burrito is always of interest.
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:57 AM ^
Is there really? I haven't noticed it. FTR, I live in Oakland County. Is there a specific area they tend to be concentrated in? You always hear about the border states and then NYC/Chicago.
November 3rd, 2012 at 9:37 AM ^
to change the city name to "Hollandez"
November 3rd, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
Huge population over here on the west side of the state, and the food is tremendous.
November 3rd, 2012 at 10:25 AM ^
There are some Hispanic communities in West Michigan, but I wouldn't call them "huge." Statewide they are 4% of the population (compared to 16% nationwide).
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
in Mexican Town yesterday when I had lunch.
November 4th, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
And roughly 15% in Grand Rapids. That's how we roll... Señor.
November 3rd, 2012 at 9:53 AM ^
Truth identified precisely by its unpopularity.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
BTB, Chicken burrito with green salsa. Exactly $6. That, or sit out in the cold watching two fat kids have a pillow fight. Hmmm.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
If it were an actual pillowfight between two actual fat kids. I'd totally pay 6 bucks to see that. Given that it's a metaphor for MSU football though, I'll take the burrito.
Come to think of it though, StraightDave still owes me a steak dinner, so I can save my money and still watch the metaphorical pillowfight.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:04 PM ^
There's gonna be lots of Nebraska fans in the stands I think. That said, go state (I will not induce vomiting).
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
the night jerseys are selling like hotcakes in Ohio.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Never in a million years would I have guessed it. Mark Dantonio is turing the tide on the rivalry to the point where he is laying in the weeds...
Or something like that.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:11 PM ^
According to Colbert the Market has spoken.
No one cares about Staee.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
So a Staee grad would have to deliver, like, 3 pizzas to be able to gain admission?
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
They can keep that pizza.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
Wow there are a lot of cheap tickets available. Nebraska is known for traveling well, it might end up being a pro-Nebraska crowd.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
We beat them. Can't we stop obsessing now?
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
our chances to win the conference depends on them...so it's in our interest for them to have a couple fans at the game
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:43 PM ^
That's all.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
My guess is there's a tremendous collective let-down in Sparty-land this year. Coming off last year, even with Cousins gone, the expectations were high. Losing to ND, OSU, Michigan and (for good measure) Iowa has taken all the wind out of their sails.
In a way, Michigan's loss to Nebraska last week did something similar, though not quite to the same degree. Alabama and ND could have been looked past, but losing to Nebraska and putting them in the driver's seat for the division hurt. The season is not over, and of course we're all looking forward to OSU ... but I think it's safe to say the enthusiasm would be a whole lot higher had we beat Nebraska last week.
Just human nature ... dealing with unmet expectations is not always a joy ride.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
The season is over... For Sparty. Their fanbase is actually rooting for them to lose so that Michigan will not win the Legends division. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Pathetic morons.
November 3rd, 2012 at 10:36 AM ^
"The team, the team, the team. No, not our team. That one other team. Boy, do I hate them."
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
we just need Nebraska to lose a game or even, 2. There are other games left on their schedule besides @MSU. Now a loss by Nebraska tomorrow would be nice, but Michigan's whole season does NOT depend on it. I wouldn't be unhappy with a Spartan victory, but then again, I wouldn't be too upset to see Nebraska pile it on either. A very mediocre season for Sparty would be a welcome thing around here.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
They could possibly lose to Penn State, but I think MSU has a much better chance.
It is pretty unlikely for them to lose to Minnesota or Iowa.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
I think a loss to Iowa is unlikely but they DO hate each other and, although it's a fairly new rivalry, it's very heated.
I moved out to Iowa for a job 2 years ago & was really surprised how much animosity there is between the two schools.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
But on the other hand, last year you could have gotten two tickets for the price of one and a five dollar footlong from Subway...let's not worry about the fact that was for a bad out of conference game...
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
The real question is will there be more people at the CMU-WMU game then the MSU- Nebraska. Answer= No.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Because to them, basketball season commenced as soon as Gibbons hit the game winning field goal against Sparty.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
One of these looks great from afar, definitely worth your time and investment, especially if you are drunk. Yet, once you actually experience it first hand, it falls apart while making a mess, and leaves you feeling sick to your stomach and proclaiming that you'll never do THAT again.
And then there's the burrito.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
Nicely put.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
Burrito > shits I get eating from eating burrito > state game
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
F*CK State
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
That place is pretty much a non drive through taco bell.
