Big Crowd predicted for Big10 Championship

[YIP]

lol...

 

[CyBer]

Fake.

 

[YIP]

Maybe, but its still funny. Besides that, I could definitely see Jim Delaney doing such a thing to improve how the game and stadium looks to the TV audience.

 

[Trice]

Fake.

Was it proven fake? Because I read somewhere that someone responded to this and got a response back from whoever posted the ad with more specific instructions.

 

[HILLCYD]

Fake or not the crowd for that game will suck...much like the big 10

So you're telling me, who initially posted the ad is also able to respond?! It must be real!!

It's a hoax. Check this out. Apparently though, you can still get 8 seats together, row 13, 50 yard line according to Clay Travis (sourced the link below too).

Ahh so it was proven fake this morning. My bad. Pretty funny story though. This was my favorite part of their interview:

Hmm. Not sure that will work. Cripples don't play well on TV. We need people who can be excited and jump around and stuff. Especially between the 3rd and 4th Quarter. Silly Wisconsin.

Dopey, indeed.

You can't really bust on the B10 for attendance or TV sets. They may not be great on the field typically, but they are pretty damn good when it comes to butts in the seats and eyeballs on the sets.

Still, it's pretty funny. Low ticket demand should have been expected. It will continue as well IMO.

If you're an average fan, meaning not swimming in money, do you really want to go to an extra game in Indy when both teams are going to play in "warm weather" bowls (ie Pasadena, Orlando, Tampa)??

EDIT: If you're forced to choose one or the other, I mean. Not at all a slam on Indy. It's a fun town.

I live in Indianapolis and I haven't seen one commercial on tv for the Big Ten Championship. Haven't seen any billboards or anything downtown promoting it either. The only thing is the Big Ten team flags in Circle Center Mall downtown, but they bring those out every year for the basketball championship too. If I didn't know about the game, I'd have no idea driving around Indianapolis that it was happening this weekend.
