My youth league gets 200 tickets to one game a season in the second deck. Having a decent amount of people in the second deck makes the crowd look much bigger from on the court and I think pumps up the players. So keep the giveaways coming. Not sure about 14,000 fans but the crowd was so much better then the Xavier game. I sit mid court and my row was almost empty for the X game and the few people around me seemed disinterested. Last night all of the rows around me where packed and there were a lot of younger people who seemed to be happy to be there and were rooting hard along with me.

Giving away tickets that are not projected to sell is good business all around.

Smart to do for games we are not drawing. Help make people a fan who maybe will want to buy tickets one day.
Also, would like to see cheaper tickets in the 2nd deck for like 15 or 20 dollars. $35 or $45 is tough for some people to get into a game. Prices often keep the attendance down as well.

Agree FS2 quality on Optimum sucks.

I have Verizon Fios, and it was great quality.

They carry the FS2 HD feed. I think Optimum only carries the lo def feed.

There were a lot of tickets given away to NYPD, FDNY, EMT. someone on the LIRR told me on the way home they received 12 free tickets to the game.
They typically do this one time a year at MSG to the game where they expect the lowest turn out.

Thought it was a great game, I am really impressed with the sets on offense mullin is setting up. I am happy to see the progress the coaching staff is making and Mullin looks a lot more comfortable coaching than he did earlier in the year and last season.

The hope he improves even more when he gets more guard depth as a couple of the turnovers Ellison and Lovett made last night should have led to them being pulled. We just don't have depth besides Mussini.

Both Lovett and Ellison were pulled after mistakes. Perhaps you did not notice. If it were up to me, NYPD, FDNY and EMT would get free MSG tickets to every MSG game upon request.

Yes! And Cl '72 include...
school kids - we used to get them with our
"G O" school cards or something like that!

GO cards, that's a blast from the past. I think they stopped those when I was in 7th grade.

I don't think Fox2 has HD- you are correct it's terrible it wasn't even a full screen.

They sure do and FIOS has it.

Before Spectrum purchased Time Warner I had the same problem as TW did not broadcast the HD FEED. Now I have a perfect HD feed. It is the cable carrier and you should write them a complaint letter and copy all parties that oversee the cable industry.
