WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Every single one of the 5,000 VIP All Sports cards that were allocated to Purdue students for the 2009-10 school year have been sold.
Selling out the VIP All Sports cards could be interpreted as a vote of confidence by the students in the new head coach, and an auspicious beginning to a new era in Boilermaker football.
Purdue students may still purchase a football season ticket for $119. The season ticket includes general admission seating in the student section at all seven home football games, which includes Notre Dame and Ohio State. This price represents a savings of nearly 50 percent compared with purchasing student single-game tickets.
“We appreciate the support of our students in purchasing all the VIP All Sports cards that they could,” first-year head coach Danny Hope said. “We hope their classmates who did not purchase them will buy season tickets and help add to the great student support section at Ross-Ade Stadium. The energy and enthusiasm of our students means a lot to our football team.”
Hope and the Boilermakers open the 2009 season Sept. 5 against Toledo at Ross-Ade.
