Go to the baseball home page and click on "Events" and you can see the entire schedule. It does not show up on the "Schedule" page yet, but you can see it in the events area.

Thanks.

Original post updated with complete schedule. Note that there was indeed a third Tulane game added, at the Maes on April 15. Tulane's schedule shows a home game vs. McNeese on that date. Perhaps there may be still be a discrepancy or two, although it makes more sense that we'd be playing Tulane three times.

Schedule updated to entire official site now, with release:

http://www.unoprivateers.com/news/2013/12/...1231131159.aspx

Unsure why it took so long, as this is the same schedule that has been sitting at the mobile link 3up3down provided for a long time now (the third Tulane game was removed from there awhile ago).

Still no clarification on that Feb. 16 Southern game. I can't believe we're just playing Southern twice this year at their field. Unless that Sunday game is an Alex Box doubleheader with LSU playing Grambling afterwards, it makes no sense why that game wouldn't just be at Maestri Field instead.

Season ticket prices appear exorbitant -- $400/$300 reserved, $150 GA ($125 for Alumni Assoc. members)

Compare to:
NW St: $175 reserved, $90 GA
McNeese: $125 reserved, $90 GA
SLU: $250/$100 reserved, $60 GA

I know, renovated stadium, but damn.

The prices are very high, especially if you have a job that make some games dates impossible. I might be able to justify the $300 if I drop out of PAF. There are no discernible benefits of membership anyway. I'll have to think long and hard about this.

Was looking forward to sitting in the new seats... won't be able to afford those now. Will have to be selective on the games I will attend and just buy game tickets

Yeah…this is kinda depressing. I've attended practically every game, for a lot of down years, waiting for a stadium upgrade like this. I have absolutely no way of affording those seats. I was worried about this. Fans who have stuck with this program through thick and thin getting pushed out of the way for friends of Maes who have money.

That said, if they have 1,000 people willing to pay those prices and come to every game I'll be very happy to sit down one of the lines on the metal bleachers cheering on the Privateers in a packed house. I hope it works out.

Exactly. Look, if there ARE that many friends of Maes willing to pay these prices and show up, I'll be thrilled! Frankly, this is a bold, fairly drastic move by UNO, and if it works out, I will not complain a bit. But, if we draw our usual attendance numbers, it's going to make me more angry than disappointed this time. Because you should only be making a bold statement like this if you know it's going to pay off for you financially. Otherwise, you're just screwing some of your diehards for no good reason.

I looked around and these are Tulane prices we are charging. Even ULL charges a decent bit less. If you're going to charge those prices, you better have a lot of people lining up to pay them, AND your product on the field needs to be really good in a hurry.
