But it’s a chicken sandwich
Cept it's true. Rupp is not a great atmosphere. Neither is Kroger Field. And that needs to change.
I was there too and it got very loud towards the end and during overtime. Definitely had a positive effect on our team when they needed it. People sitting at home always complain about the crowd but never go to the games themselves. That does really get old. If you hate our crowd that much buy a damn ticket and go cheer loudly!!!!
Agree, but team wasn't getting them too excited with a rather sloppy defensive effort against the 3. And, seems like neither Cal or the players adjusted to it either. I just can't blame the crowd for what's going on in the game like this board does so often. I surely don't want a Duke scripted crowd at Rupp where they jump up and down all game and cheer from a printed cheer sheet. Would you really like that better??
I was there, and yeah it was loud for the free throws (free chicken!), but the last 4 min or so were VERY loud, my ears rang a little afterwards. They just kept hitting shots through the noise.
The Brown hairs don’t buy tickets. They sit at home and complain on social media while partly watching the game
I honestly didn't see anything tonight for the crowd to get excited about. Very boring game played by UK.
This
You realize for people in WKY and other parts of the state that's like a 6 hour round trip. And that's just to get to Lexington and back, that's not accounting for getting there early to deal with traffic, getting in and out of Rupp, etc. So tack on a couple of more hours on either side, and it becomes a 10 hour turnaround. Hard to do on a work night. So, stay the night? Add 100 bucks onto gas and food and tickets. It's just not easy for a lot of folks outside of the Lexington area to do.
Man….everyone knows that. And that’s what’s sad lol. They are more excited about a sandwich.
We should merge this thread with the ones saying how buying tickets makes no sense. “I got my 100 inch TV, favorite recliner, bud light” so why go. Anyone that makes a commitment to go- especially against these crappy teams- are alright by me.
Kentucky fans are generally pretty fat. We're a society of slobbish fatties.
So, you're from western Kentucky and it's a problem for you to go to the arena. So, are all the other complainers like you just from western Kentucky too? I'm sure there are plenty of you right around Lexington who just complain to complain.
Yep. I was there last night. I was very impressed with crowd for a Monday night. Got quite loud last 15 minutes played.
I get that it is hard for people to get to the games. That is why I ultimately got rid of my tickets. I live in the Owensboro area and still went to most football games, but basketball games were hard. I'd generally go the game and then stay with my daughter in Louisville for the night after the game. Having said that, if you don't go, whether because you can't due to distance, can't because of finances, or just don't want to, don't complain about the people that do go. In the past people that wanted to go but couldn't get tickets because every game was sold out, maybe had a gripe. But tickets are available every game now. If you aren't there, don't bitch about the people that are.
