Syracuse struggling to sell USC tickets; offering groupon of 50% off, "limit" 8

The game is at MetLife Stadium, and they must really be struggling to sell tickets if they are offering a "limit" of 8 tickets each person at 50% off.

The game is at MetLife Stadium

Looks like I found their problem.

It looks like they are trying to tap the NYC market by playing a game at MetLife Stadium, but it isn't a draw even though they are playing USC.

On a semi-related note, anyone know how the Iowa/UNI game is selling at Soldier field? Similar situation, but obviously not a large NC draw like USC. And is UNI any good this year? Any chance for an upset?

NIU btw ... UNI makes me think of Northern Iowa and I was like, "why are two Iowa teams playing in Chicago?"

Last time they played there, there were 61,500 fans (2007). Looks like ticket sales are way down this year, expecting 46,000: http://qctimes.com/sports/football/...11e1-ac05-001a4bcf887a.html?comment_form=true

And yes, NIU is pretty good this year. I expect it will be a close game, with a mild chance at an upset.

My bad. I thought I had read they were playing UNI.

I thought the same thing about the UNI rather than NIU mention! HAHA.
