Commonwealth Stadium moves down to 2nd biggest in state come 2018 now
- Thread starter JHB4UK
- Start date
Uavel stadium has more exits to get out while dirty birds are getting whipped
Hilarious! I’d still like to see UK upgrade/update/modernize corner suites to add some POP and add seats in each endzone to get us to 70K! Bowl it in video board to video board.
Yup we do. How much does UK get from the OTHER SEC schools investing in football while we starved ours to death? I think the SEC distribution to all the SEC schools went from thirty to forty million lately, thanks to the OTHER SEC programs that gave football the support it had EARNED.
How much income does UK lose now because our ticket office gives a lot of tickets to SELLOUTS to the legal scalpers? And do they ever do a good job of scalping our fans.

We are just fine. Love our stadium compared to most others in the SEC.
Other schools don't pay UK. Add this to the list of things you're clueless about. UK doesn't give tickets to scalpers, there no special line for scalpers. They aquire them in a legal way. They same we you have an opportunity to get tix for every game on our home schedule. Maybe take time to learn how things work and stop making these ridiculous comments.
This aged, very poorly.
Florida State did not fill the stadium just last week. And we didn’t sell it out when we visited last year, with well over 15K in attendance in Blue.
And frankly, I would have sided with Pushupman when he initially posted this. I thought big name visitors would sell it out for them, even if they slipped, as they have.
But the Boomer population is aging. I “peaked” last year at age 58, attending all Kentucky home and road games. That likely won’t happen, again, and younger folks don’t seem to follow live sports like I have since my 20’s.
When y'all resurrect 6 yr old threads, could you put a disclaimer of whether or not I said something stupid in the thread that way I don't have to read the entire thing to check?
Just develop Alzheimer’s like I did, no worries.
What do we need to do to catch up to those empty faded pink seats?
It's fkn ridiculous. No matter what is done to upgrade the facilities, people contort themselves into an infantile ball to wail against it.
Want to compete in the SEC, need better facilities and raise revenue-
-Put in chair back seating which decreases seating (bich and moan)
-Add luxury boxes to increase revenue and upgrade facilities (bich and moan)
-Decrease seating for a top notch recruiting center (bich and moan)
-Raise ticket prices to increase revenue for a top notch training center and expanded practice facility (bich and moan)
It's so freakin petty and stupid, but I get it. No one wants to pay for the football program to be any good. They want a billion dollar program on a five and dime budget and it just can't happen. Magical thinking all the way. They want the big bang magical universe because there are so many examples of that happening across the world and thousands of years...
When will we cease to think like toddlers and understand sht costs money and it's gotten by hard work?
Can they justify it when they can't fill it now? Maybe they don't have to any more. Have they repaid the money to the gov that they shafted them out of? Maybe that's part of the refinance/Home improvement/debt consolidation loan they're getting...
Calm down He has a point ! for decades UK has taken money from the SEC from TV revenue and invested in everything other then Football ! Even our recruiting budget was one of the lowest in the SEC ! It was said that was why Brooks retired a bit early was because he wasn't getting the Supports from our AD !
Nah you calm down. What exactly did we invest in. Yall make all these claims and can't back them up. Claim to be UK fans but spend all day trashing UK. Our coaches always got the recruiting budget they asked for. They recruit regionally and didn't need the recruiting budget if schools who recruit nationally.
I'll ask again, specifically what did invest in? Also it has been explained to you guys 1000 times that UK used its bonding capacity on the billion dollar hospital. Large capital projects that require bonding like the $100+ million stadium renovation had to wait.

I’m gets whatever face value the tickets go for. I’m not sure how agreements with sites like Ticketmaster work and if the university gets any percentage of the money above face value for any tickets sold or not. Maybe someone out there knows better than me.
Yeah, I don't like lowlifes who habitually lie in an attempt to put others down. It annoys me when I see it. I do love it when yalls stupidity gets exposed like in this thread.
BTW how is that expanded stadium working out? UL really showed us. 🤡
Also, have a nice day. 🙂

Hey UL fans? Since you guys aren’t using your football seats, can we have some of them? We’d like to install a breast cancer awareness section.
If the football coaches got the recruiting budget they asked for and were OK with the "recruiting room" a competent AD would have fired them. Did you read about them carpooling on recruiting trips to the south? And I think Brooks did a fantastic job WITH THE SUPPORT HE HAD.
How could anything have been explained to us 1,000 times when you only have less than 400 posts, lol.
Where did he answer the question of what UK invested in instead of football during the years they were building the hospital? I don’t see that answer anywhere.
There are some comments on the early pages of this thread, that I bet some posters wish they could take back. Wow, how times have changed.
Barnhart love him or hate him is very dis likable IMO. His ivory tower act is OK , just like 87.2 %
of the people I went to church with,…until it defies common sense and is an obstacle to an already handicapped program for years. He should be doing everything he can for our cash cow sports to the best of our athletic department as a wholes ability. It’s hoops & hog epidermis that dresses the rifle team. We should consistently be in pursuit of ways to separate our football program in every way.
Do that and I’ll support you long as I can. Don’t do it and I’ll retract any and all support, from K fund to seasons either venue. And check your holier than thou act. Listen to the base, watch the operation of the big boys and let’s put our best minds on ways to compete. We will decide our morals and such on our on - with fear & trembling. We just need the AD to be a catalyst for a program with momentum.

They do look like the major market team to us. louisville does. It's sad. We even in the SEC but the Kroger field looks like we play in the pac 10. Once again just our ad turning us into a mid major level team by 2025. Lol the ones defending it lol.
That would be nice.
My recent trip to the Swamp sold me on beer sales and I don't even drink. But watching UK and Florida fans pay $15 for a Bud Light and carrying 6 or 7 in their arms made me realize they were paying more for beer than for the seat to the game. And it seemed as if most of the 90,000 had a Bud Light in their hand.
A few seasons of that and you could expand the season with no problem. Paid for upfront.
Not even close to being true. Did the recruiting budget include a recruiting room of fold up chairs ? Your statement is almost as clueless as it gets.
