I've been at ISU (now in grad school) since 2004 and haven't been asked to get a new student ID yet. I assume if I had student tickets, my current ID would still have to work.
Cyclone alley is general admission!

Hopefully it will be too crowded for those shenanigans[FONT=arial, sans-serif].[/FONT]
So you'd rather have questionable fans like last game than older (older, shoot, 30 is old now. ugh) people who will actually get crazy in the student section? Eddie is a student, just a smarter one apparently.
The only people who generally support Cyclone Alley tend to be the people with connections to Cyclone Alley.
Essentially, its only purpose is to scam money out of students for the Alumni Association and allow some of the odd kids in high school to get a position of power and build their resume.
If one side of the student section was General Admission, Cyclone Alley would be dead. No question.

You don't have to be in cyclone alley to get in the student section anymore. That is the entire point of this thread. You just buy the tickets and don't buy cyclone alley membership for $20. With the props and t-shirts they give back I doubt they see any profit from this anyways. Its more of a method to get students within their grasp to bother for the rest of their lives.
Your friend sucks. They should have hauled his but out in front of the students and let them throw crap at him.
My opinion: Cyclone Alley is something that works to 1. get tickets sold when we suck and 2. get people to come when we suck.
Now that we are trending up, just getting people there isn't the end goal, you have to focus on having people who are interested and invested in the game. People are now coming regardless. The more you win, the more people care, the more people are willing to make a big deal out of the game and drink beforehand, cheer loudly, not be embarassed for being a little ridiculous, ect.
Of course, most on here are already like the to begin with, but the general CA population is not.

Why do people think it would be any different if CA was gone? How is that a small handful of CA people have such an effect on students? Please help us "old folks" understand how or why these few people apparently have so much power over you.
I picture the Cyclone Alley board reading this thread saying "But...but...we play tic tac toe!!! we give away coffee tumblers to fans who come to more than 3 games!!! These people don't understand what it takes to be a fan!!!"
Correct. Then we'll be back to complaining about the old people who won't stand up. I was sick of that complaint by the time I graduated, but it'd be a nice change now.
Everybody is still required to be a part of Cyclone Alley. It is built into the price of the All Sports Package which you had to buy this year in order to buy basketball tickets. You are in Cyclone Alley whether you know it or not.
In all honesty, he gave up more of his Hawk fandom to achieve his dreams than I would have given of my Cyclone fandom, had my dream been to be a doctor and I didn't have the money to go out of state. In the reverse situation, I would have been a much bigger db than he was.
My bad, I thought you could still buy basketball tickets separately but that is only for football.
