I don't think FAMU expected the demand of SWAC Championship tickets. If there was an opportunity to move that game to Doak it should 100% be explored. There's a chance those ticket sells could reach upward of 45k+. Why cap it at 25k because we refuse to explore options?

Another note I’d like to add, pay attention to how this situation will be amplified by non-local media outlets. But there’s no trace of coverage when something positive is happening within the program. Shades of August 26, 2022.

My two cents: Some get so caught up in the hype of #FAMU that they don’t truly grasp the culture and prestige of the institution. The glitz and glamour automatically comes when donning the Orange and Green. Don’t jeopardize your standing with the program for a few minutes of fun.
