what a great opportunity for the program to play on the flagship. Has anyone heard when tickets for this game will go on sale?
I wasn't going to say anything until after I got my tickets but here ya go! I already called the ticket office and SHSU tickets will go sale July 11th, that will be about a month earlier than the other single game tickets for the rest of the season. I hope with no students being in school and with the game on TV there will be some kind of extra activities (collage game day) would be nice as an incentive to have fans show up. Maybe a concert (Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney ) after the game or Spokane area restaurants have a bite of Spokane activity. Just something extra to add to the festive atmosphere.eaglesfootball said:what a great opportunity for the program to play on the flagship.

I agree. We are way overdue for a little payback.wineguy said:After last years game, we just need to win this one. Would be a great way to start off the season.

Most people go to games to be entertained and there happens to be a sporting event going on. I'd like to see this be an event not just a game.EWURanger said:Agreed, anything less than a sell-out for this game would be an utter failure. Gonna try and make it to this one for sure. As to the OP, it seems like single-season tickets go on sale in early summer IIRC.
Eagledawg said:After reading a couple of posts here about expanding the weekend festivities to something like a Friday Saturday festival celebrating not just the game but the whole community. Yes Cheney might be a little boring at times! but Cheney has a lot on the plus side. Friendly people and its a relatively safe place for my Daughter to attend school. So throw out some Ideas what you would like to see for activities or what the local merchants could do so you spend your entertainment dollars in Cheney instead of filtering out of the area for dinner and etc. Such as:
Car show
Live music
Street dance
Dinner specials
So lets hear it Just to put a bug in someone ear here is a copy of an E-mail the I sent out to some of the City Council and some in the Athletic dept.
====================================================
Just a quick note after some discussion on the Red Zone (EWU football forum) http://www.bigskyfans.com/eagles/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2732&start=80" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(posts may 3rd and newer) about the Aug 23rd ESPN Nationally televised between EWU and Texas powerhouse Sam Houston State University.
It was brought up about expanding the festivities and an opportunity for the local merchants to get involved in some form such as a street fair, street dance live music, car show, lunch and dinner specials, etc.
At a slow time of the year when school is not in session there will be what I expect to be a sellout game with people (and Students) coming from out of town to attend the game in Cheney. I know the Holiday Inn will be booked and overflow will probably book rooms in Airway Heights or Spokane. Well why not keep those people in town for dinner and spend their entertainment dollars here in Cheney instead of filtering out of the area. Before a and after the game people will be looking to have fun and why not Let them have it right here in Cheney!!!
After looking at the Cheney Merchants Assoc. webpage there wasn't any contact info. so I'm E-mailing you due to I'm sure you would know who to Fwd. this along to or let me know who and I could pass it along .

I think we absolutely throttle SHSU. They lose a TON of their talent and we bring back almost all of ours. Home game, ESPN, we win this going away. EWU and the Big Sky are due to absolutely throttle SHSU and that will be on 8/23.
I think we win by 20+
