I received the same letter yesterday. I guess having 12 season tickets isn't worth much to them. This IS the most anticipated spring game in temple history. They should make it available to anyone and everyone, no matter where it's played.I'll be on diamond street that morning, with the Owlbulance, tailgating even if I can't get through the doors.
Bring the tarp down and let the "regular folks" look in from 11th Street.
Source: Temple's Cherry and White spring football game to be played Saturday, April 14, at 10 a.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.Just posted on twitter by Owlscoop.com – THIS WOULD BE AMAZING
Thanks, Josh. Owlscoop and John DiCarlo do great work, so I'm sure they are right. Temple must have been intimidated by my threat to withdraw the $365 million donation. Kidding. Just kidding. 🙂
I'm not a fan of the High school setting- I agree sends a message of "small time". anyway wish it was at EOF and just deal with it but the Linc is better than northeast. Maybe if they could purchase thoise projects next to EOF and that abandoned middle school along with that brutal field/playground we could have our own stadium/ bubble/ complex
Cherry and White Day should be a fun celebration and NE High School is a great idea.
glad to hear the game is at the Linc. As a decent giver to the Owl Club either I have pissed some people off, they are inept, or they are pulling in some mucho big bucks this year. Last year, I got an invite to a B-Ball game – this year – nada. I don't feel bad for myself in not getting an invite as I couldn't go anyhow. Maybe I should feel better that TU is potentially pulling in some big dollars. But either way, initially excluing a sizable chunk of your fan base for the first public appearance as a BE team doesn't seem right. I'm glad the Linc thing got worked out and thank you whoever you may be for funding it.
LFF is the best-case scenario for all involved. Two years ago, over 4,000 people attended the scrimmage in the tiny E-O spot and it was like sardines in there. The money is coming out of Temple's "Institutional Advancement" fund. I didn't even know Temple had that.
the only reason I advocated a high school setting was to accommodate the fans who would have been shut out at the E-O. Denying fans who wanted to go to C and W a spot to watch would have been a bigger sin than succumbing to the "small-time" perception.
