their boosters have secured the rights to certain seats to all of their home games. Sooooo, if we go to their home stadium, there is no way they could offer us half of the seats because many of those seats have already been contractually offered to a booster.

By having it at a neutral site we get a chance to buy up seats, good seats - and because we get a chance at good seats, more of our fans will go to that game.

Unless their fans buy up a ton of tickets over the next week or so - the crowd will be two thirds Cougar fans. Had we had the game in Tucson there is no way our fans would have been much more than a third (and our fans would have had to sit in significantly worse seats on average)
