What's the view like from up in the gold seats?
February 16th, 2011 at 8:46 AM ^
it's not as terrible as you would expect. just try to get one that is on the longside of the court. If you're behind the basket or in the corner it can be pretty bad.

It's fine. Crisler is the second-smallest arena in the conference, and there are no luxury boxes to push the upper-deck seats upward. Ignore the people who bitch about the arena. It's old, but the views are fine.

Crisler just isn't that big, all the seats are good ones. I myself got taken for a dollar, buying two tickets for $8 a piece with the Morgan promo. Such is life.
On an unrelated note, when is bigten.org going to update their damned standings? Yeah, I just want to see it there in dot-matrix looking font. I am that kind of crazy.
Edit: Finally...

How do you get the tickets?
February 16th, 2011 at 9:08 AM ^
buy the Groupon, and then take it to the will call window on the day of the game to get your tix. Follow the link - it explains it on the page.

FYI, the MORGAN promotion that DE mentioned above is still active. It may cost a dollar more, but you can print out your tickets at home and avoid the lines at will call. You can also buy more than two tickets. There's also no processing fee as there usually is when you buy through the online ticket office.
Go to the Promotions page and enter the code MORGAN.

Did anyone else notice how Groupon incorrectly lists the gametime as 5:30 instead of 6:30? Of course for Groupon HQ and other fellow Chicagoans like myself the tip is 5:30 Central, but last I checked Ann Arbor didn't fall into the CST.
Looks like the new CMO is at work trying to look for creative ways to fill up Crisler. As mentioned above, it's the same deal through the AD, but it does hit a different demographic of people not privvy to the Athletic Department's original messaging.

We'd better sell this one out. This is a potential NCAA tournament team.
