Topic: Only 102 reserve seats left for soccer matchup with Xavier tonight

[chris88]

And 13 of those are single seats.  The non-reserve side shows availability as "medium". So depending on student turnout you could see a crowd approaching 1800-2000.

For those who have not yet gotten to see this team play, I can assure you the offense is much more exciting than we've seen in previous years.  MUs second goal vs Wright State featured 8 tick, tack, toe passes in sequence including a header and backfoot pass (a no look pass to player behind him) and an awesome finish by Mathew Bell. The concession stand is pretty good and also features a small variety of beers. There is also a playground for kids just beyond the far goal. There are roster sheets available close to entrance and likely still some free schedule posters.

Maybe I am overreacting but the HD never mentions an upcoming game. They rarely have the men on page 1 of the sports section. Ridiculous. Hard or online versions.
Yet, they'll have some Ohio HS 50 miles away on the front page or so. Pitiful!

They need a dedicated beat writer or at least copy the article on herdzone and republish with permission. Luke is slammed with FB i'm sure. Heck I would do a pre and after game writeup if they would make it worth my while.

Xavier is a tough matchup. We played them in the spring league and won, but their size caused problems. They?re built like a football team, especially on the back line.

Got a random question for the soccer regulars. Does Rio Grande typically fill up before games? I was hoping to get there early to get a drink and kill some time but I have feeling the place will be packed. Thinking of maybe walking down to what was once Ginos but it looks kind of sketchy since they closed the pizza place.

You have Cookout down the block. It's cheap and not bad. I've had much worse for much more. Lol!

In the past we gone to Rio Grande about an 75 minutes before the match and had no issues with service or table availability.

I agree. And it would help if the HD & CPG included the Herd athletic events that are streamed on ESPN+ in the list of "televised sports".

To be fair though, it would also help if media outreach people of the AD would post ads in print & buy some space on one of those digital billboards...
