Hydrogen gas is the obvious answer to the helium shortage,
Bring back the balloons!

Gosh. This guy is talking it pretty hard.

So, 92% season tix renewal rate? Not sure how many season tix holders there are, but I’d guess it’s the majority of capacity. Given they struggled to fill it last year, even with giveaways, this could be a problem for them. It’s probably at least several thousand people. It might be hard to sellout the first game, even with a win over Northwestern.

From the article, there could be up to 5100 tickets to get rid of. I guess we will see.

But we have roughly between 3,700 to 5,100 tickets to sell for various games this fall. So we do have some work to do in that area and depending on the game, some of those games have fewer tickets to move, some of them up too 5,100.

Good idea, hydrogen instead of helium.

LOL!

Environmentalist' are happy

Since we're losing the tradition of balloons, can we bring back the tradition of not sucking at football?

Alternate way, candle powered

or else kite ......

OU is the only sure sellout as of now. They’ll bring a bunch of fans. If NU has lost even 1 game, tix will be dirt cheap. They might be anyway.

Yep.... lose any of the first three games, and that will kill the interest for available home game tickets. Hopefully a moot point that we don't have to worry about.

Anyone know when the balloon tradition started?

A quick Google Search says the 1940s.

I saw a report that the 92% renewal rate was in line with what was normal. I'm sure you could say it was 100% in the 90's, but feel free to spin it as normal is bad.

I was thinking doves instead. Painted red, of course. 75k red doves… This would be a symbolic gesture of peace and everyone would have good feels. Droppings could be repurposed. Win win

I'm thinking red bats, cheap from Wuhan

Not spinning anything. The demand just isn’t there.
