Spots for the shuttle to the Ball State at Northern Illinois University game filled before the waiting list sign-ups opened at 11 this morning in the Atrium.
The seating for the shuttle allowed for 240 students, with 25 seats reserved for the Black Student Association and 25 spots for journalism majors as well as 40 seats for the top 40 Charlie’s Crew Student Reward. There were 150 seats for the general student population.
“We started sign-ups for the bus seats following the women’s volleyball game last Thursday and again on Friday in the Atrium, and they pretty much filled then,” said Kevin Thurman, a graduate assistant for athletics and student initiatives. “Today, when we were open from 11 [a.m.] to 1 [p.m.], we had 30 to 40 people sign up for the waiting list.”
Thurman said today was basically a day for people to sign up for the waiting list.
“Every day, we are seeing the waiting list whittle down little by little,” he said. “But, at this point the list is pretty set [on who is going].”
Some people have had to cancel because of class conflicts, Thurman said.
“We want people to come so they can support the team, not miss class,” he said.
There has been a lot of enthusiasm behind the shuttle, he said.
“We are pretty excited because the student body has rallied behind the team this year because they are doing so well,” he said. “If you walk around campus, you can feel how different it is with people excited about Ball State athletics.”
