Stubhub just released end zone tickets as low as $8 and midfield as low as $32.

Time to buy!

Not everyone would join an A-10 FCS League.  Rhode Island almost joined the NEC a few years ago.   But with 6 mentioned and a few more associate members would make a great and winnable but more formidable league than the NEC who keeps taking crumbs nobody else wants.

The entire issue here is a better home field for the Dukes.   It’s embarrassing taking new fans AND recruits there.  SOME games at Highmark would help.

Duquesne has submitted initial plans to build a new Rangos Health Sciences Building on the lot between the Coop and the Parking Garage.  Pittsburgh Business Times is the only press to carry the story.   It contains a oicture the seems to fit other recent Duquesne architectural buildings.

If there is no chance for an A-10 Football League, the Patriot League would be a good 2nd option. 

A10- Duquesne, Dayton, Richmond, Fordham, Rhode Island and Davidson forming the core.

What are ticket prices looking like?

 
Right now the cheapest end zone or corner seats are less than $40 with fees. Some sideline seats are asking three figures. I speculate these aftermarket tickets are from season ticket holders. Pitt is selling only season tickets now. Probably some time this summer they will sell packages, one of which will include the Duquesne game. From my experience season ticket holders prioritize rivalry games, marquee non-conference games, and non-rivalry league games. The demand for this game will get a bump because of the proximity.

 
I got mine at the 30 yard line for a lot less!!! Row B.
Try Stubhub.

I checked most of the ticket outlets and Stubhub seems to offer the best tickets at the best prices.

I got 4 in Row B but now they are down to Row N.

I guess the big question of who replaces Darius Parentes is Tyler Riddell.   
Riddell played at ETSU and Gardner Webb and has some nice numbers and a few injuries.  6’1”, 190 and I guess has just one year of eligibility. 

Hope he can get a bit of work in this Spring.  Some nice footage here:

Dukes need to schedule both these teams.   Don’t complain that Pitt won’t play us if we don’t play them… We play in football, should play on the court too.

Can’t believe this is the same team that lost to Libscomb, Hampton, St. Peter’s, Maine and SD State.

Duquesne will have a better record against Quad 1 and 2 teams than Quads 3 and 4.

Drew is a good coach who seems open minded enough to learn things like not taking out a hot hand. 

Dukes may need to win against George Mason and St. Louis… hopefully just one of them.

This may sound blasphemous but I’m good with VCU winning to give the A10 another shot at a two bid league.  A loss to the Dukes would really hurt them.

Dukes look to have a lot of talent back this spring with 6 of the 8 NEC First Team Selections back including Clements, Isabella, Beidatch, Ackerman, Dunkley and Epps.

The biggest loss to graduation is Perrantes who had a superb season and showed what can happen when he was not a key part of the offense with his unfortunate collapse last game of the season.  The team was without a doubt, the beat in the NEC last year, blowing out all opponents in conference and were still in the game despite a massive number of turnovers.   Sharing the title just didn’t sit well.

The Dukes have 6 quarterbacks on their roster including a kid from NA (Kushner) and a California import (Soles), both look good statistically.  Somebody needs to step up during the Spring sessions.

This ain’t a good year to start the season with a rookie QB with the first game against Pitt.

I was hoping the the Dukes would sign a big time QB to replace Darius but only one was signed.

Looking at the current crop on the roster, NA’s Logan Kushner seems to have the stats, history and size to step up.

He has a nice arm and seems to run well and can be more traditional drop back passer when called for.

The first game against Pitt will be a huge step.

Great game all around- 21 assists I think.   A very unselfish team.

My only 2 complaints- 1. They need to get a better shot off as the shot clock is running down.   They wait until 4 seconds are left then panic a bit.

2. We had seats in the middle of Bonna Baby land.   There were dramatically more fouls called against the Dukes and they STILL were crying.

Bonnie Babies 🙄

Been going to games for years and Dayton and Bonnies expect and GET more calls served up for them every time.

By the way… When are we going to stop giving out preferential seating to these away fans??

We gotta have a good turnout for a team that didn’t give up on a poor start and is working their backsides off turning things around!   BIG home game here.  Let our Dukes know this is OUR HOUSE!

I had thought that Duquesne’s new medical school would be a tool just serving UPMC through the money given to build the UPMC Cooper Field house.  Glad to see that there is still some competition in local healthcare with Duquesne now working with AHN for clinical internships too.

The weather wasn’t as bad as the Albany slush bowl but I’m sure it had an effect.   Not enough to cause 7 interceptions.

Maybe should have sat Darius down after the 5th.

Great season… sad ending

Hope the Dukes don’t trip in an away game like the Steelers did.   Dukes favored by 5.5 but I never like the travel issues up there to CCSU.  Even flying they have a bus trip from probably Providence RI.

GO DUKES!!  Let’s keep this great season going!
We may get a better seed than usual with a top 20 ranking and a convincing win over a good opponent on their turf if we live up to potential.
