[NU Sports] Tickets ordered...

[Sportsbiz]

I'm not a season ticket holder (live out of town) but on Sunday night or
Monday morning, I got an email from the alumni association with information
about their package including tickets, both land only and land/air.  Of
course, the athletic office should have sent something out Sunday night and
Louisville's athletic department, which with I hold season tickets for
basketball and football, is always very prompt with emails, newspaper press
releases and ads, as well as peppering their local broadcasts with ticket
information for any post-season involving any of its teams.  Basketball and
football go out in advance of knowing the destination and again as soon as
the destination is known.
